FAA eyes lower building height limit near airports
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government wants to dramatically reduce the allowable height of buildings near hundreds of airports — a proposal that is drawing fire from real estate developers and members of Congress who say it will reduce property values.

Excessive limiting is likely to be a non-issue, as over-regulation is considered to be a "taking", for which compensation is due. Where it gets interesting is when new runways are a possibility but not yet approved, and permits are not given. This is the kind of case which will go to the Supreme Court. Regulations imposed for safety purposes are acceptable without it being considered a "taking", but the safety concerns are likely to be judged by a court.
I find it funny that these property developers only think within their own box.. "oh this is going to inconvenience ME because of this and this"
OKAY... we won't do anything then. Let me know how that goes when an airplane loses and engine and takes out your building. Let me know how that goes when people die and sue you after they found out you were told this is hazardous to navigation but you did it anyway.

The approach to Lindbergh at San Diego is scary. On descent passengers on the right side can look horizontally at apartment buildings. Then the airplane passes just above the Pacific Coast highway immediately before crossing the airport boundary. I understand that the landing threshold has been moved down the runway about 1,000 feet so that landing aircraft must maintain sufficient altitude as they fly down the hill.
It's not Kai Tak, but it's kinda like it.

It ain't got the checkerboard and the turn, but you are right, ain't a lot of difference. LOL
but big buildings are fun near airports!! London City, John Wayne, San Diego, La Guardia, Kai Tak (closed)....these are all fucking awesome airports to fly into because of the proximity of buildings and never has a perfectly functioning plane hit a building while normally coming in to land.
Was there really a need for the profanity???
Ditto. I felt the same when I read it.
My thoughts exactly, but here lately I have been in the minority. I guess we'll see where this one leads. Back in the day, uttering that word would get you laid out cold and there would be a ring of applause for the one that did it.
