The prohibited uses are from the restrictive covenants that restrict what the District can build on its property. They’re not district-wide bans for all property owners, just the District.
It's interesting that you say that, because DeSantis has been on a habit of signing legislation that has overwhelming majorities of the state against it.
Or I could say "that's wishful thinking" since the US doesn't really function as advertised.

You know what's funny?
There is a thread that already started on that specific topic.

Sorry, I missed that, thanks!
How come every sentence that includes "self governing" in it uses the rest of the sentence to create context that this is a bad thing?
For instance, I've lived in towns where the town was self governing and elected its own town council.
I've lived in unincorporated land where the county was self governing and elected its own county council.
I've lived in townships where the town was self governing and elected its own mayor.
Nobody ever wrote stories implying that those being "self governing" was a bad thing. In fact, quite the opposite. It was a good thing that the people impacted by the local governing had a say in the local governing. All that stuff about pushing more things down to the local level.
What's with all the news stories creating context that this is a bad thing in the RCID case.
Much like how they always imply but don't state that "special tax district" is way of getting out of taxes. When the unsaid truth is that a "special tax district" is an area where extra special taxes are collected on top of normal taxes.

Yes, skip reading 900+ pages here to catch up and read this. It gives a really detailed history of the project and discusses the issue of whether RCID needed residents or not to be valid.

Silly. If anything they should look to expand that not take it away. No reason to have questionably safe aircraft flying over crowds anywhere. Out over the ocean at a beach is one thing, if they go down it’s dinner for 1 for the nearest shark
Rep. Troy E. Nehls Reintroduces Airlines Independent of Restrictions (AIR) Act - Nehls
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Troy E. Nehls (R-TX-22) reintroduced the Airlines Independent of Restrictions (AIR) Act, a bill that would direct the Secretary of Transportation to rescind the two “no-fly zone” Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM’s) over Disneyland and Disneyworld.

This is the bill in question.
, but over a crowded tourist attraction it’s potentially hundreds or thousands of casualties.

I fully agree with expanding not eliminating the no-fly zones over the parks. As it is now aircraft violate the no-fly space regularly it would be nightmarish it there was no restrictions.Silly.

Circling back to Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake; do you think Disney is advising them on what to do? I find it surprising that those residents have not really made a sound since this all started.

This is the bill in question.
“I’m proud to reintroduce my bill, the Airlines Independent of Restrictions (AIR) Act, in the 118th Congress to revoke Disney’s special no-fly zone privileges,” said Congressman Nehls. “Theme parks like Disney should not receive special treatment just because they are well-connected. Our national security should not be compromised to fit the needs of one corporation.”
“Woke corporations shouldn’t get any favors from the government,” said Congresswoman Boebert. “The FAA has no business granting a no-fly-zone over Disney parks. Universal Studios, Hershey Park, Six Flags, and other theme parks don’t have no-fly-zones over them, and it’s time for Disney to get the same treatment. No corporation should get preferential treatment from the government—especially when it is grooming children. Go woke, go broke.”
You'd think these people would have better things to do with their time. To be clear, I don't think Disney deserves this particular privilege when other resorts don't have it (even if I, as a guest, am personally grateful for it), but I deplore the use of the issue for ideological point-scoring. The vindictive intent and disgusting rhetoric underpinning this anti-Disney campaign are beyond the pale.

To be honest all the high-profile amusement areas / parks mentioned should be granted no-fly zone status not the other way around.

I didn’t mean to suggest that Disney should be deprived of its no-fly status; I just meant that I saw no reason they should enjoy the privilege when other resorts didn’t. Your idea seems like a good solution, though I don’t know enough about the issue to really assess its feasibility.

Definitely was one of the largest soft targets for terrorism, but sadly we don't have to worry about foreigners with planes anymore, just domestic terrorism and that probably won't come by plane. Sigh

Not really, there's more threats domestic than abroad currently. 3 administrations have done significant damage to terrorist networks and also they see us fighting amongst ourselves and don't see why they need to bother.

I'm done participating in the derailed thread! Apologies!
Disney's parks have a significantly higher name recognition around the world. Hershey Park and Six Flags simply do not. Universal is getting there, but it's name recognition around the world is still significantly less.

Which one has the most recognizable theme park building in the world?
