This isn't an airpark. This has been an established airport since the
1940's.Up until the big Vegas boom, this county owned facility was
surrounded by nothing but desert. Like so many other growing towns (like
what has happened in CA and Long Island NY), the soccer moms and urban
drones decided that all that flat land around the airport to be prime home
sites. The built up all around it including runway ends. Now there are
shouts about noise and "danger." These same dangers have been there since
the 1940's when the Las Vegas Gunnery School was initiated during the war.
This airport never has been an airpark. It has always been an airport
designed for heavy training and GA traffic. The land around it should never
have been used for homes.

If you go to http://www.skyvector.com and type in VGT you will see the last
vestiges of open area around the airport. You will also see A-481. This is a
designated high performance take off area for KLSV (Nellis AFB). The yellow
area under it wasn't there 15 years ago. This is also true for the yellow
area around VGT. The city exploded to the north and surrounded the airport.
Another good Google search is Las Vegas pig farm.

Bottom line greedy developers and people who don't do their homework are now
razing a stink. GA is going to pay for it - as usual.

That was some thread a while ago. Someone was convinced that living at an
airpark was something like a suicide attempt. Data to the contrary was
dismissed as obviously wrong because living near a runway was
pre-determined to be dangerous.

The thread I am reading is pretty fairly discussed by the poster. It
does appear that a bunch got their knickers in a wad over the realities
of airpark hazards. What has been lost is my question as to why
developers were /against/ GA, I had wrongly assumed there were
developers who had sold the + benefits of GA to homebuyers.

Yeah, and the originator of that thread claimed to be a "real estate
developer with aviation interest". I read that as: the fox says to the
chickens "just passing thru".

How about "a fox with an interest in chickens?"
