A retired Real Estate professional strongly agrees that the closure of Santa Monica Airport is necessary, as argued by Mark Smith in a recent letter. However, there’s an essential principle to consider: doing your due diligence.
Before purchasing a property, it’s crucial to research the neighborhood and understand its existing conditions, including an airport that has been present for over 100 years. Homeowners cannot demand changes to the airport without any basis or right to do so.
The current situation is alarming:
– A corrupt city seeking to maximize tax revenue
– Greedy developers prioritizing profits over quality of life
– Corrupt homeowners aiming to unfairly increase property values
Mark Smith’s proposals are viable, ethical solutions to addressing SMO. It’s essential to consider all aspects before making a decision on the airport’s future.
