What percentage of landings happen off the airstrip? That % of landings

I think houses off the approach and departure ends are a much worse
idea.
If you have such a bad wind/landing that you are going to hit my house
110' off the center line either you are planting a really large aircraft
on 3,000' of grass or you need some serious recurrent training.

I agree, and might add that 110' from the centerline is pretty generous
compared to some of the residential airparks that I have visited. OTOH,
all
that open space does give you that panoramic view you bought it for.

Which makes people crowd their homes to the strip. That I can understand
when first and second tier homes have obstructed views in most (near)
beach
residential developments. Not so "on the strip".
