mildly interesting fact: those empty roads in the field used to be a neighborhood filled with houses. at some point, the residents got annoyed with aircraft noise, and petitioned the city to reduce operations, arguing that the noise exceeded guidelines.
the city investigated, and found that the noise was too loud for a residential neighborhood. but instead of reducing operations at LAX, they simply changed the zoning and took the land through eminent domain to create a noise buffer. problem solved.

Looks like a before and after pic of a beach town that was firebombed, and 10 years later.

tl;dr: be careful what you ask for.
