Reality is: anywhere the helicopters fly will be "near someone's house".
Perhaps this is true, but relocating the heliport could substantially reduce this. The responses to this so far have been that the tourists enjoy violating our privacy...er...viewing our properties from above. And if this is the main reason for not relocating, then the flights over our houses are not just an incidental byproduct of us living under the flight path to and from the viewing area. We ARE the viewing area. Therefore, aren't we entitled to royalties? Precedent: Don't they pay the parks for the same privilege?
