As I said in a separate thread, I love the convenice of Palomar.
Lindberg is busy and could use relief. We could easily land the smaller aircrafts at Palomar instead of Lindberg and keep Lindberg as the principal airport. Why build a new airport when we can improve the use of our existing facilities.
Tough luck for the people who live near Palomar. Like bugs said, they should have known. The Bressi folks were too blinded by potential appreciation and the “opportunity” to by that they threw due diligence out the window. They should have contacted the city about the commercial development to the west of Bressi and the County about the airport.
