You'd lose. A few years back, the city of Mannville in New Jersey was completely
cut off by major flooding. Prior to the floods, there had been serious attempts
made to shut the airport down. During the floods, the only way in or out was
through the airport. The National Guard staged out of there, and the owner and
other people kept it open all night during the emergency.

The result? A few months later, the Manville city council passed a resolution
that the airport should be closed. The owners finally convinced the State to
step in and buy the development rights, which effectively keeps anyone from
using it for anything but an airport.

They say that nothing's certain except death and taxes. The thing is,
death doesn't get worse every time Congress goes into session.
