After Monday's landing, SpaceX wants to do it in triplicate

Okay, so by landing and re-using a booster, they are saving how much money? a few hundred million dollars? Every time you do it?

This is America: you can be fairly sure that waving a bit of cold hard cash at them will stop all the nimbys in their tracks. So offer a small share of that cash to local residents who might be affected. Build it into the cost of the launch; it'll still be massively cheaper than anyone else.
