That is a FACT.

LAWA's plan to replace T1/T2/T3 is tied up with moving the north runway, which is blocked by NIMBYs of various degree of crazy. The TBIT expansion had few NIMBY opposition
this time but early attempts were rebuffed by NIMBYs who successfully argued for the silly multi-airport regional strategy. Again, as I also pointed out, the slow progress is also due to indifference of LAWA and City leadership (in the face of NIMBYs and otherwise).
The current leadership has moved the ball forward and appeased some of the NIMBY factions with restoration of Westchester golf course and other goodwill gestures. But the north runway and T1/T2/T3 modernization is still not happening.
