Yes, fancy building an airport in the middle of a residential area.

Oh, that's right, they didn't.

I'm amazed that they were able to sell new houses close to an airport
under the extended runway centreline. Presumably people only start to
worry about things after they've moved in.

Who allowed them to be built there?

Exactly. Buyers purchase real estate at reduced prices that reflect the
proximity to the airport, and than insist that the airport go away. Such
behavior seems a bit selfish, arrogant and self serving to me.

Those Santa Monica officials who permitted residential development in close
proximity to the airport are guilty of malfeasance in office from my
prospective. They should be prosecuted for that irresponsible behavior.
