laGuardia's days are over. It's too tight, in too crowded an area, and
the runway extensions keep creating waterway problems and residential
flooding, and stink up the bay by keeping water from flowing (badenuf Bob
Moses submerged and stoppered up the Flushing River for the World Fair after
he had deepened it for the one before - for the first one, he needed the
river for navigating exhibits). Have you ever landed at LGA at a 45 degree
angle? My prep school's lab (no other classroom) managed to pickup the sound
of low flying airplanes (because of accoustic peculiarities of the lab and
the parking lot and the neighboring apartment buildings) and drown out our
teacher. Since they can't build a train to this airport, maybe they should
just scrap the airport completely and send traffic to JFK. It's happened
before. There used to be a Floyd Bennet Field (Brooklyn, no?). JFK can
expand towards the ocean, essentially infinitely. Moreover, the entire
Flushing River Valley is so much Robert Moses landfill it is the most
quake-damageable part of the city (acc to laMont Doherty). Best to turn LGA
into one huge convention center and strip mall.
