I would recommend working with the controllers instead of challenging them. In San Marcos, Ca. we had a glider field just south of the 78 freeway and it was on the approach for the Carlsbad class D airport. We had a deal to stay south of the freeway and they would tell incoming aircraft to stay north. This worked for years until the city kicked us off for other reasons. You will find most people in aviation are reasonable, but the ones that aren't can make it miserable.
