It is interesting that both John Wayne and Westchester Co (white Planes NY) are always a study in contradiction. They want the air carrier service and a place to land their jets close to home , but do not want the noise, traffic or anything else to do with a airport near their homes. I flew in and out of both for years and it has never changed. When the the MD80 first came out one lunched an engine on climb out at John Wayne, and sent hot parts onto the roof tops (cedar shakes) and started small fires. They threatened to shut down the airport then , but that would mean driving to LAX to fly out, so that idea went away.

Default Those poor people . . . oh the humanity

NOT. Just looked on Zillow at a nice backwater 920 ft2 house for $3.8M. And get this - -property taxes are $3000/yr. About 3% of my tax rate in Illinois.

That is so horrible, probably have terrible weather too. Something devastating, like fog.

Closing the thread. Entertaining and informative, but no longer related to RVs.
