Uber's Short-lived Helicopter Service In Utah Grounded (ksl.com)
New submitter captaindomon writes: It may come as no surprise that the Uber helicopter flights which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival were apparently illegal and quickly grounded. "Thanks to the support and partnership we have with Sundance and Park City Municipal Corporation, we were able to come to an agreement," said Summit County spokeswoman Katie Mullaly. "We are glad to have this issue resolved, not only for the safety of all those involved, but also for the wildlife of the area, affected residents and environmental concerns."
I might have some choice words with my neighbor if they decided to allow helicopter landings right next door to me. For the noise and one heck of a lot of other reasons, aircraft landings affect way more peoples' rights to use their own private property than just the guy who owns the pad.
Your private property rights don't override everyone else's.
I don't really see why this is a problem and why you object to it. It follows the usual course of these things. Firstly things are allowed. Then people do egregiously crappy things and that gets banned. Then other people do other egregiously crappy things and they get banned too.
"Whatever we haven't explicitly permitted you to do is forbidden, obviously!"
Despity your "lol gubbmint is teh evul lol gubmint" thing, it's really the exact opposite. Things get banned in response to actual problems. Everything else is allowed.
