Ummm… WHY do we need a new airport? I’m originally from Dallas/Ft. Worth and I can tell you the exact date at which it began to change from a nice place to live into a horrific sprawling nightmare: January 13, 1974, the day D/FW airport opened. The reason I live in San Diego rather than LA is because this place has a good balance between city and town living. With a new larger airport, SD is just going to become more like LA and Orange County. Our airport is fine just the way it is. I travel all the time for business and have never had problems getting in and out. Actually Lindbergh field is a lot easier to get in and out of than the big airports like D/FW or O’Hare. As for having a world-class economy, I’ll leave that to places like Atlanta, D/FW, Chicago, and the LA area, but maybe that’s just me…
