Quite
I presumed a position similar to the one I am used to counter, philosophically and politically:"move the airport" "move the homes" etc.
I see your point, mostly the argument is about flight path, noise, and nitwits demanding dangerous and flight critical manouvering to avoid the din of a turbofan which more than likely is putting bubble and squeak on their sorry table.
Economic consideration seldom has to do with supply. More often than not, it is distribution that rears its ugly noggin; "not here, not now".
LaGuardia is situated in a precarious place, politically and economically.
Midway? Meigs Field? DFW DIA? FailSafe is a concept, not a reality.
Aviation is wicked safe and getting safer. Geese seem to be doing well also. Proximity forces us to look at things that may annoy us. I love birds, I love a/c, they don't mix well.
My bottom line? (Today.) : As Humans we overestimate our importance to the Planet, vis-a-vis survival. We can't kill it, it can kill us.
