Another airport where the 'greenies' rule
Nothing to do with 'greenies', though I'd buy 'nimbies'. I live about 25 miles south of KSFO, under the BDEGA (from the north, with a teardrop turn) and SERFR (from the south) approaches. The amount of fuss in neighbourhood forums, town meetings and such, especially about the latter, is just unbelievable - people claiming they can't leave their house during the day because of the noise and so on. There are quite a lot of people who file a complaint with the airport EVERY time a plane flies overhead.
Now, do you think these people wear vegan sandals and walk everywhere they go? Or do you think they take the cheapest flight they can to travel several times per year? Yeah, right. But it doesn't stop them complaining.
