really don't understand people who move to places where there are established 
businesses, entertainment facilities, radio towers, etc. and then try to make 
them go away.....
This tale and others is so descriptive of where I until just last month in 
NY...

It was originally a rural area in the mid Hudson Valley.  Then came 
development and city people who wanted nothing more than turn it into "the city".  What 
- No side walks??  Where do people walk??  Gotta have those.  What - no 
street lights?  It's DARK here...  So much for star gazing.  Then went the sporting 
clays course... "too noisy"  and THEY shoot guns there (they do too in the 
city, but in the city, they are shooting at people)...  Then the farms ...  nice 
bucolic view.  But then the farmer spreads manure on his field.  Oh no - 
can't have that - it smells.. 300 dairy farms in the county shrink to less than 30 
within 10 years.  Local airport?  More noise.  Can't have that either.  
Antennas - OH NO!  They are unsightly...  This from a guy who showed up at my 
zoning board hearings wearing not 1 but 2 cell phones and a pager on his belt.  
Where did he think the signals come from??  Geez!  Am I glad I am out of there...
