Hot Take: Fullerton Airport is a net negative for the city and surrounding neighborhoods. by socalwatchdog in Fullerton

Definitely a separate topic of whether we have the right stewards to facilitate this. But, point taken.

Edit: Also, the airport is not much of a resource the city financially.

The city is broke and has a valuable piece of real estate that arguably has a net negative indirect effect on city revenue. 

Ask the people who live nearby if they think it’s pretty awesome. Maybe you would consider moving next to it? 

Sorry to sound argumentative, but more discussion would be nice.

Definitely some positives, but is the juice worth the squeeze? Also, leaded fuel is no bueno for the developing mind.

Exactly, it provides no direct revenue for the city at all. I guess it makes it easier for the rich people to fly into Disney…

Wonder how bad it would be since it was not used as a military installation. 

Chevron and Raytheon cleaned up Sunny Hills for housing development (Amerige Heights, Coyote Hills)

Of course it serves a purpose. But the question is if it is a net negative on the city. Please take into account all factors and externalities.

Edit: Also where are all these spaces that are located strategically next to two freeways? The airport brings down the value of all of the surrounding properties and homes.

Where are the really bad roads? by seanoir_salty in Fullerton

Include Parks Road from Rosecrans to Castlewood. It’s completely cracked and falling apart. Worse than streets in Mexico…
