I live just below the stairs.  I suspect my property is on a path that is one of the shortest routes off the mountain.  I estimate I see less than 10% of the hikers that actually go through my property, but I see a lot.  Groups of hikers come off the mountain, walk through my property, up to my home and climb over my veneered hollow tile wall to the cul-de-sac on which I live.  I get dirt and mud tracked up my wall where they climb and have had some damage done to the veneer.  I have had trash dumped, water hoses used without permission and parking issues in the cul-de-sac.  Lately, tour helicopters have become a nuisance, as often as every five minutes during heavy periods and I've seen as many as three helicopters in the area waiting their turn at making a pass over the stairs.  Some have very heavy rotor noise.  I think the stairs are great, but I don't see management completely eliminating trespassing hikers and certainly not eliminating helicopter traffic, remove the stairs.
