        A prime example is Kansas City. About 15 years ago a new KCI
airport was built. It was *deliberately* placed in a undeveloped area,
with few residents, in an attempt to minimize the noise nuisance
problem(the old airport was adjacent to downtown KC). The area is now
on of the most rapidly gowing developement areas in the Kansas City
area. So much for getting the airport away from the city where it
won't bother anyone!
