“NO, I DON’T THINK THE AIRPORT IS A valuable commodity, because the only people who benefit from it are very wealthy people who get to land their jets there. As a part of the community where small jets get to come and land, I think it’s lovely because people get to come and see small planes and they’ve got the museum there. That’s really nice, but the jets truly destroy our peace of mind. It’s such a safety hazard, it’s ridiculous.”
