The expansion of suburbia hasn't helped, either.

People who moved into my town within the last few years keep trying to supress the expansion of/close down an airport that has been there since 1930, and has historic importance (The AOPA was formed there), not to mention local public safety importance (the medevac helicopter is based there).

They've successfully killed the building of a hospital, which probably means that flushed with their success, they'll take another try at Wings.
