When will Santa Monicans grow up and stop whining?
We all could buy discounted homes located near airports but many of us choose not to. The noise, pollution and possible accidents keep most folks away at their particular comfort zones.
We are so tired of hearing sob stories from those who choose to take the risk, save money and then become classic American “call your lawyer cry babies.” All of America is quite tired of this and your paper is pandering to them. Please take your paper up a notch and move on.
The airport was built in 1920. Only those living here at that time have a valid complaint. Obviously large jets that are unsafe for this airport’s runway should be banned and that will happen.
If our society is so spongy to always give in to these cry babies there will soon be NO airports in America.
