Plane crash renews concern over Santa Monica Airport runway
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (KABC) -- A plane crash in Santa Monica renewed concerns for some residents who say an airport runway is too close to their homes. The plane came to rest in the backyard of a home at 21st and Navy streets and is owned by Hollywood actress Rachel Blanchard. She was not home when the plane came crashing down Monday.

I am sure that the Airport was there long before prople moved into the area. If they are complaining about the aircraft operations and safety then move!
I've seen cars and trucks do more damage to homes. Maybe Santa Monica should close all the streets that pass by homes! I'll also echo the statement that the airport was there long before most of the homes and homeowners who are complaining. Airports grow just like any other source of economy. Don't build or move into a house at the end of the runway unless you can handle the growth and odds.
Oh boo hoo, rent a truck and move. You knew the airport was there when you bought and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't mentioned in your contract to buy or other documents. I understand there are some roads around there too better move way out in the country where you won't be bothered by cars. Oh no those pesky ATV's and the noise and dust. Better think of a houseboat but then there are those PWC's running around. You're screwed.
It's not just aviation issues for me either. There is a quarry around here that has been there since at least the 60s. Sometime in the 80s or 90s these people decided some awful clone-house neighborhood was better than the grass and trees that were growing there. Now they've got their houses built all around the quarry and they are complaining that all the blasting is causing them problems. The problem I have is that I liked the nice grassy fields that used to be where this neighborhood is, they moved in next to a quarry (what did they expect?), and it's going to take a ton of domestic laborers in this neighborhood to offset the job losses if the quarry were to shut down.
I don't know, maybe we're seeing it from the wrong angle. Is it possible that I should bring a lawsuit against my neighbors (all of whom have lived on this road longer than me) for driving cars I don't like and failing to landscape in a manner befitting my taste?

Yeah, I'm not sympathetic. And not just towards aviation issues. There were a bunch of new houses built next to a pig farm in my area. And guess what, the people complained. But the farmer was zoned OK and grandfathered in. The whining from the homeowners was hilarious. They tried water, chlorophyll tablets, perfume, you name it. Nothing worked. The farmer dug his heels in and the fight lasted for years. The farmer won. Still LMAO to this day. He finally sold the farm for a fortune and retired comfortably.
I can't believe it; such a bunch of unsympathetic folks in this here aviation forum. shame on ya'll. lol
