Question: How is the air pollution near Long Beach Airport, specifically the Los Altos neighborhood?
Thinking of moving there. About a mile southeast from the runway, right along the flight path. Asked an earlier question about the noise pollution and it seems the bigger problem might be air pollution.

I’m reading online that there have been many residents reporting black particles and residue on their property. I’m concerned that the expansion and potential increase in air traffic will only make air quality worse.

Will I be putting my kids at unreasonable health risk by moving there?

The only commercial planes flying over that part of the Los Altos area will be on their landing approach with their engines on part throttle. You will be exposed to very little pollution, if any at all. Long Beach Airport is the least used by commercial airlines. I doubt if there is more than 10 commercial flights a day. The majority of its traffic is civil aviation.

Besides you will have the nice cooling breezes off the ocean blowing on shore carrying any crappy air toward the inland parts of So Cal. There won’t be any problems.

You seem to be obsessing over living near an airport. Trust me. After you’ve been there for a week or two you won’t even know the airport is there. You would be moving to a very nice section of Long Beach, a city that has one of the better school systems, and the best public transportation system in the area. You’re worrying over nothing.

apparently some f***ing black kids in my neighborhood (typical), decided to have fun by turning on the outdoor faucet in my front yard and leaving it there.

They have been doing it a lot recently, and I usually don’t notice it until hours later…

I live in a ghetto apartment in Sacramento, California. I just want to know what are the water bill rates here.

Okay, I can’t recyle in my neighborhood because, we don’t get those buckets and I don’t know how to register for my parents, but my Dad I think has this recyle thing going on…What shall I do? How do I register for us because, apparently other neighbors have recyling bins and they just put it out with the trash can? Do we just buy a reclying bin? If so, where?

May seem stupid, but I just don’t know what to do!
