February 19, 2026That left turn off 20L has nothing at all to do with the homes. It's just there to de conflict with 20R departures.

February 7, 2026On a VFR departure off 20L, you really need to turn left right away at least 15 degrees for the noise sensitive area ( houses). If you look down and can see homes, you are not far enough to the left .

October 22, 2025SoCal controllers as well as the Tower are top notch. For being such a busy airport they are extremely organized and friendly. I would say probably the finest in the entire country. Many less busy airports are not as welcoming and cater mainly to the airliners and do not assist GA. SoCal in my experience has been happy to accommodate anything from small pistons to private jets and give them all the suitable attention and assistance.
