They forget that the airport is also here, in our area, called Sun Valley, not in Glendale or in Pasadena. We border the airport on two sides. Burbank is retarding job opportunities in this particular area. This is just more of their Golden Mall thinking. Pasadena has no business here and should be forced to release its investment.
Sun Valley suffers the noise, pollution and never gets any part of the revenue.
Though the city has offered to soundproof homes in the immediate neighborhood, they continue to complain. One went so far as to say that she didn't want management of the noise, she wanted it eliminated, admitting that airport opponents really want to shut Van Nuys Airport down. Van Nuys Airport neighbors knew there was an airport there when they bought there, and for those who say the noise has grown, I say hogwash. The airport was a California Air National Guard base until just a few years ago, and there's no jet at the airport today that matches the roar of a tank or troop transport plane. You may think we live in peace and quiet here in Malibu.
