New airport explains the Merc dealership down there (how did they know? Duh ...) and HE's residence/military base in Takmau.
Polluted waterways, here we come!
China needs to pay for a big sky or underground rail system. That'd be cool.
The airport location had nothing to do with the Merc dealership. They are both miles apart from each other.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.

Yes, and the Takmau residence has been there for about 30 years and is miles away too, the new airport doesn't explain that either.Duncan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 12:50 pmSmartAston Martin wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 1:15 pm Thanks.

The kinfolk said "James move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.

H.E.'s place. The military base. The TWO nice roads leading there from PP.
And the Merc dealership. And Senate in the south, etc.
Starting to make sense.

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.
Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

Land prices soar on capital’s airport announcement
26 January 2018
News of a new airport has sent prices skywards, but some say there is little to justify the sudden price hike.
The recent announcement that a new international airport to serve the capital will be built in Kandal province’s Kandal Steung district has sent land prices in the area soaring, but property experts suggest the assumptions fuelling the stratospheric price hike may be faulty.
Earlier this month the government announced it had approved a plan by a joint venture between local developer Overseas Cambodia Investment Corporation (OCIC) and the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) to construct a new airport for the capital on 26,000 hectares in Kandal province at an estimated cost of $1.5 billion.
According to local residents, prices on agricultural land in the area around the future airport, which previously ranged from between $2 to $3 per square metre, shot up nearly 1,000 percent following the announcement. Sale signs have appeared throughout the district with landowners asking $15 to $30 per square metre for the swampy undeveloped land.
The landowners appear convinced the airport’s construction will be a boon for residential property development.
However, Ung Bunthoeun, who previously lived within earshot of Siem Reap’s airport, is not convinced. Writing on his social media account he noted that in developed countries the announcement of a new airport does not improve adjacent property values, and often it lowers them.
He explained that unlike land near train stations, which offer residents a convenient commute to work or schools, those near airports offer little added value while increasing risk of aviation accidents. Moreover, residents suffer constant disturbance from aircraft noise...

Re: New $1.5-billion Phnom Penh airport approved
At least in the areas immediately adjacent to international airports there are usually many shipping and logistics companies, rental car firms, airport hotels, warehouses... there are a whole bunch of industries that need to be close to an airport, so it's not surprising people would try and cash in on that. Maybe jumping the gun just now though.
