But yes... I agree with you. It would be better to remove them, but now that things are up already, how do they do that safely and cleanly?
Todd Spitzer was quoted as saying that the other hangar that damaged the blimp prototype cost $1M/year to maintain. I'm not sure if there's a way to demolish it safely and cleanly, but at a cost of $1M/year for maintenance I would hope that something could be done.

Whole Foods is a haven for dumpster diving! That is where you will see Qwerty and his people.

I know some people like the hangars and think it preserves the history of the area, but personally I think they're eyesores because of their immense size. If I lived there, it would remind me that I'm living on what used to be a military base vs. out of sight out of mind. Plus those things are old. If they fall apart, it would potentially send nasty dust clouds into the air, not to mention the cost of maintenance and the liability of someone being inside and getting injured by falling debris.
Also, in my mind, huge hangar + entertainment district don't really seem to go together.

plus now you have more residents living around the hangar. would be tough to bring it down cleanly.

I think the difference here is the area already has retail and residential close enough such that any type of small dust/debris fallout could be complained about.
I don't know how they took down that Deutsche Bank building in NYC but I think the closed aspect of the surrounding buildings may have offset the fallout. This may be similar to how they handled demolishing some hotels in Vegas.
Seems they would have to somehow put some type of containment barrier in order to keep dust/sound/etc to a minimum. Or maybe take it apart slowly a piece at a time (although 10 years and $170m isn't something Tustin or the developer has). Isn't part of the hangers concrete too?

If the land costs $200k, construction costs $250k, where does the rest of the $1 million home price tag go? ???
