I never knew that.
Bloomberg will put a stop to that.
If I recall, municipalities cannot make airspace regulations. The airports can create noise abatement departures and approaches. I think a city in New Mexico tried to make changes in the airspace overhead and got slapped down - rightly so - by the FAA.
All that aside, I've just caught up with the latest developments. So, so sad. As a pilot and huge baseball fan, I immensely saddened by this. I wish I knew why he didn't deploy the BRS (ballistic recovery parachute). An article that contained an interview with his flight instructor described him as a conscientious, assertive pilot.
God bless them...
