The correct answer here is to ignore local landowners and build the airport. Airports have tremendous benefits to the country and the greater area. I feel badly for the folks who have to take the costs - and I wouldn’t be opposed to some compensations - but fundamentally we’re talking about helping a few people (who could move) at the cost of most people. I feel especially strongly about this in the case of people who moved in after the airport existed. You knew exactly what you were signing up for.
