This is the exact kind of person who buys a house near an airport because it was cheap, then complains endlessly to restrict airport operations because of the noise.
We used to have a small, locally owned amusement park.
This exact thing happened. The little bungalow homes in the neighborhood around it became trendy. People moved in, complained about the noise from the park’s main attraction, a classic wooden rollercoaster that had been an area landmark for DECADES, and badgered the city council about it until they limited the place’s operating hours and it went out of business.
I still get absolutely livid if I talk about it for too long.
EDIT: Not the City Council, as it turns out, but the organization that runs the local fairgrounds, which the park leased land from.

What the fuck‽
People are dicks sometimes.
Oakwood?
Tulsa. Bell’s Amusement Park.
As the real estate agent said, Location Location Location, and we’re right next to the airport! It will be very convenient if we have to fly one day.
