I'm guessing the crowd was small enough to fit in a Cessna, not a 777, tee hee.

Why should it go to developers, who will just take the money and run?

When the Big One hits, you will probably be one of the first ones out
there crying for aid, which will come in via SMO, since all the freeways
will be clogged. SMO is just another part of the transportation system
and is irreplaceable.

The resulting buildings, residential or commercial, will generate jobs and revenues far greater than what current SMO users provide. Just look at the development further south at Playa Vista and the old Hughes site.

there crying for aid, which will come in via SMO, since all the freeways


The "aid" could just as easily use LAX, whatever "aid" is considered so critical that it must be flown in. Most supplies will come overland from Inland Empire warehouses.

Because the land belonged to the federal government, and the city agreed to

hold it in perpetuity as an airport as a condition of receipt of said land?


In Perpetuity ?? Forever and ever ?? Sorry but times change and eventually land moves on to higher and better uses.

The

airport isn't merely land, it is an integral part of the National Airspace

System. Removal of components of the NAS degrades the entire system.



Why should developers be permitted to violate the agreement by which the city

acquired the airport land?

Why did the city permit construction of homes so close to the airport? That

would seem to qualify as an admission of malfeasance in office.


A lot of the houses are in adjoining LA city. What should have been done, should the orange groves been kept ??




Why are you so anti aviation?


Me, "anti-aviation" ?? Just another personal attack from a side with few logical
points to defend their position. In fact I've been watching a heli-pad being built 3 miles from Chicago's downtown by a private developer. But you have to be super-liquid to afford a helo in the city.
