Where is the air traffic controller for the neighborhood? Or do they never leave and enter at the same time?

The majority of airports don't have traffic control.

There are similar neighborhoods out where I grew up, aviation is a big thing in the Antelope Valley. Ancient Valley/Pontious and Rosamond Skypark airports come immediately to mind.
