Sounds almost like a foolish re-visitation of 1960's "Basement Bomber" match-heads and CO2 cartridge 'rocketry' on a larger scale.
Shame a child died in this manner as there are SO many alternatives to this type of nonsense 'rocketry'.

FAA waivers are incredibly easy to get and are free. Even annually issued waivers are now common. I would say the main consideration is finding a field long in the windward direction. The advent of dual deploy has effectively changed the field size rule from 1/4 the expected altitude on the shortest side, to 1/8. Steered parachutes on proven rockets would reduce it further to 1/16. As for the particular sites you listed, I have not flown at most of them. I have flown at Medina, OH, Danville, IL, Zelienople, PA, Houston, TX, Phoenix, AZ, Truth or Consequences, NM, Gerlach, NV (Smoke Creek and Black Rock), Jean, NV, El Mirage, CA, Mojave, CA, Cantil, CA, Claremont, CA (many sites), W Covina, CA, Duarte, CA, Van Nuys, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Pomona, CA, Upland, CA, Chino, CA, Covina, CA, Riverside, CA, Anaheim, CA and at a bunch of hobby store selected sites for Estes, some with Fred Shecter in tow.
