The Palo Alto Daily Post continues to lead the way in local news coverage of the harder-hitting variety. Today’s edition was no exception with their headline “City fights expansion of airport“. At first, I thought the San Carlos airport was seeking some expansion approvals, but no–Paly is going after SFO! Apparently SFO wants to add a new terminal and up to 13 new gates and thinks they have done a proper EIR. News to me. Have we heard any of this from the city of B’game? Any e-newsletters from Papan? Is Becker “creating change” in our dealings with SF? Nada. Paly has lawyered up via a January 23rd letter to the SF Supes. Their hot button is final approach noise, but we are sympatico about the general noise issue. Is there a Go Fund Me page that our city council can contribute to?

Click on the SFO Airport Voice category on the right frame here. You will see that SFO is a crappy neighbor and like most crappy neighbors, just doesn’t care. “We bring a lot of money to SF and the Bay Area economy so you suburban plebes can just deal with the runway noise and loss of sleep”. 13 more gates? Too bad. 3 am engine testing? Gotta do it to keep the money flowing. I hope the Concerned Residents of Palo Alto keep the pressure up. Somebody has to.
