10. No kidding - this sucks
My family has owned farmland in the area since the 1840s - my ancestors were the original homesteaders, and the land has been in the family ever since. The land is some of the most productive land in the world (and I am not exagerating). It pains me to see all the new housing down there as well. The proposed runway is aligned so that planes will take-off/land directly over our farm.
