I just joined the EAA because they think enough of model aviation to speak up for it. I am the president of an R/C club in Rockland county New York and we operate with a heliport across the street. This will be our 12th year with no problems to date. We do an annual air show for the community for which the town supplies free hot dogs and snacks. They give out between 1500 and 2,000 hot dogs each year. Getting people involved in model aviation isn't easy, but people love to come and watch. We also have a separate flight line with buddy boxing and flight simulators. It would be a shame to see all of that go away for no good reason. https://www.hvrcc.com/
