In my ideal world, the airport is completely torn down at the harbor, and replaced with a beautiful park, that is open space for all the city dwellers packed in around that area; the airport is moved down towards the border; and a high-speed train is built from downtown to take people out to the airport so they don’t have to drive. That drive currently takes me 15 mintues from Hillcrest, so a train that could get you there in the same amount of time, would be terrific.
Can you imagine how property values would increase in Pt. Loma, OB, Mission Hills, Banker’s Hill and downtown if we got rid of airport noise? Can you imagine how traffic would be reduced with high-speed transport in and out of downtown? Can you imagine how beautiful the city would look with a park instead of a run-way in it’s center?
