I commend Desy for telling the story of her home and Carrollton. I am a St. Louisan and I am quite familiar with this fight. This fight between the airport and a town called Bridgeton went on for over 10 years. It was quite a nasty fight. There were other plans that didn't affect as many homes, but the airport insisted on that plan. It pretty much destroyed the suburb of Bridgeton in the process (2,000 homes, schools, churchs, and businesses). Its really more about government's abuses of eminent domain rather than someone's whining as some of you have suggested. When something like this costs 1.1 BILLION and for it only to be used 5-10% of the time, its disgusting.
