FWIW, the FAA geometry on the approach is a bit unique. Both sites are below sea level and the estate claiming to be encroached is about 100ft higher than the airport elevation. If the airport runway is flat, then the 500AGL surface extending some 20,000ft from the edge of the imaginary airspace might actually be some 400ft above the elevation of the estate.

By making such a fuss, he might actually attract enough attention to formally allow all pilots in the area to fly lower than normally prohibited.

It won’t matter much in a large earthquake in this valley. There isn’t anything keeping the Sea of Cortez from flooding the area and placing the estate 30 ft below the waves of the Pacific if the silt deposits south of Mexicali liquify.
