Influenced, yes, decided, no. If only land prices decided
airports, why do Palo Alto, San Carlos, and Reid Hillview
continue in the SF Bay Area...why Executive in Sacramento? Why
have parks in cities?

Of course they have. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes not.

Well, airports don't provide much tax revenue; other uses of the land
would. But parks don't provide tax revenue either, yet we have those.
