The lead is in all avgas. The solution there is for the FAA to allow unleaded avgas, not to shut down all aviation.

PAO used to be located on what is now El Cameno a couple blocks north of Page Mill. Between Stanford Ave and Serra St. The area is called Escondido Village today.

Eventually more and more people moved near there despite knowing there was a noisy airport there first. Then they complained about noise and caused the airport to relocate to its current baylands location.

PAO is technically on wetlands and was moved to its location because at the time the black community nearby didn’t get a say in San Mateo’s planning.

The same black community who was not allowed to buy a house in Palo Alto.

You mean this black community inside Palo Alto 3 blocks from downtown?

Your link opens with an anecdote that takes place on "the east side of Palo Alto". This is what people who don't know the area think when they hear the name of the city of East Palo Alto. The city that clearly sits to the north not the east of Palo Alto.

Quote Directly from your article in respect to the city of Palo Alto. “From 1925 to 1950 most racial discrimination was insidious, in the form of residential subdivision covenants banning persons of color.”
Oh yes. For sure. Didn't mean to imply that wasn't happening.
