USA commercial airports at the most altitude above the city

Provided below is a list of those American commercial airports with scheduled airline service, whose elevation has the most difference in altitude over and above the city’s official elevation (usually downtown). As always, any additions, corrections, or suggestions are most welcome. Each elevation is based on the information provided by gemini.google.ai and/or confirmed through en.wikipedia.org.

Most surprising to this blog author was how many airports rom the eastern half of the United States are on the list (approximately half), including the first two positions. Many of these variations in elevation, especially in the East result from the downtown area being located in a river valley, while the airport was built on a bluff or hill above the city.

Peace!

Summer Hill in the Inner West. It's a very nice neighbourhood filled with older buildings.

#buildings #architecture #cities #NSW #SummerHill #Australia #streets #walking

The very elegant old Summer Hill Hotel, painted white.

Some very ornately decorated old shopfronts that appear to be well over 100 years old.

The town square. Some people are sitting on a bench nearby. There's a mural on a far wall.

An historic brown brick post office building.

People sitting along a boardwalk at the edge of a harbour. Tall office buildings are visible on the opposite side. The blue sky is reflected in the water.

Another view across the harbour. The W, a large glass hotel, is visible on the right.

Building brand new #cities in #habitable parts of the #world (e.g. higher northern latitudes) can create #living space for #climate #refugees This is what I explore in "A New Faith" - the #city of Sequoia is built from scratch in the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia solely for climate refugees. It is dense and has no personal vehicles at all.
