Santa Monica Airport will close in 2028 and be replaced by a park, officials say
Capping decades of legal battles and protests, federal and local officials announced an settlement Saturday to close Santa Monica Airport in 2028 and immediately shorten the runway to limit jet flights. The city of Santa Monica has been fighting to shut down the general aviation airport — long a favorite of celebrities and business leaders — contending it is unsafe, noisy and pollutes nearby neighborhoods with potentially harmful aircraft exhaust.

This is a loss for GA interests, and I am sure that we have not heard the last of this from folks like AOPA and NBAA. Deals like this set a dangerous precedent, and prove, at least to me, that the FAA is a toothless lion as far as being a regulatory board.
There will never be a park there. That is just pretext to get the land back for ruthless developers that will sprinkle pennies into the pockets of politicians and reap hundreds of millions in rewards.
A park would never get a clean EIR to be built. There are many more places the Peoples Republic of Santa Monica could set aside for recreation, but they would need to compensate so whining weenies that pay $100. a month for their apartment. The current crop of complainers were not born before the airports 30th birthday, and it would four of them to break an IQ of 100.

Well here goes all of the idiots again down in wigged out SoCal they got there way. And soon to come other items on there agenda.
Wigged out SoCal, eh??? Yeah, we're just a bunch of psychos out here. We all hate airplanes of any kind. Oh and don't get me started on those pesky helicopters. If man were meant to fly...blah blah blah...linbb you're basically a troll who should disappear like Esquire because generally your remarks are pretty worthless. The plan to do away with KSMO is a city issue rotred in politics and not the "entire state" as clowns like you think.
Someone suggesting politics is uniquely bizarre and irrational in California, and particularly the LA area? The nerve!
I live in California....and the state is controlled by wigged out libs.... I'm old enough just to laugh at it..when it gets too bad I'm taking my money and leaving...
As a life-long Californian, I have observed that the reason the voters elected Democratic party members to office is that the Republican party self-destructed proposing policies repugnant to the minority of people who actually voted. Wigging is not limited to any party.
life timer.too...and agree/...
Obama didn't like GA, neither does Trump.
Sure about Trump? With his own 757 it would seem odd he would be hostile to GA.
Trump backs GA completely, and always will, how else will his kids fly to meet him when they cant make it to Air Force One.

Obummer sure liked and used AF1, which is the ultimate in a GA-like toy.
Like ALL Repugnant's haven't raped the government to enrich themselves and fellow corporate welfare thieves, get an education.
