[Eric Bruun]

There were a lot of issues raised when I read this. Probably for others as well. Just two highlights:

1) The Kuala Lampur airport description boasts that it is environmentally sustainable.

2) There is going to continual and massive investment around the Detroit airport when much of the area is abandoned brownfields and transit is substandard.
