   Airplanes fly over populated areas all the time, and occasionally one   
   crashes.  Accidents happen.  The best way of dealing with the problem is   
   to improve air safety, not move the airport to some remote area where   
   nobody will use it.  The Hillsboro Airport gets a lot of traffic   
   precisely because it is so convenient.   
      
   If people want to live next to an airport, it's their business, not   
   yours.  Caveat emptor.  It's not like the existence of the airport is a   
   secret.
