The landscape looks like it could handle a few private airstrips. Four decades later, and the residents have problems with an itty bitty heliport and the "whisper-like" whir of a non-fixed wing aircraft. At least this would have afforded a convenient place for paparazzi to land.
Coldwater Canyon neighbors say NO! To Frank Sinatra's request to build heliport near his home at 2666 Bowmont Dr.
