The people who sold out Warwick were the businessmen and mayor back in the '70s. They saw more hotels, more rental cars, more restaurant use....in short, more business. The shortsightedness was what would happen to the city itself. Homes would have to be gobbled up to accomodate the inevitable expansion. (Airports usually don't grow smaller).

Once the decision was made to keep the airport in Warwick rather than move it to Quonset, the city was irrevocably changed. If you bought your home in the last 30 years, you have nothing to complain about. If beyond that, maybe. But make no mistake. It was the mayor and council and businessmen of the time who did this. It all comes down to profit, greed, money, at the expense of the quality of life.
