I started this thread because I wanted to say something on this topic without perpetuating the "dog" thread. :clap2:
Like our Talk Host, I live near a noise making, incompatible use, but not in the Villages:* An airport.* In my case I knew what I was moving next to (actually, about a mile from). What I didn't anticipate was the inconsiderate recreational activities of several pilots.
Some of these pilots are the most self-centered, inconsiderate wealthy jackasses one can imagine.* They take what amounts to mufflerless flying Harley's and buzz bomb them around - not just setting off car alarms along the street as I have observed some gutted Harley's do, but terrorizing entire neighborhoods from the air.* These are people who place their beloved rich mans hobby above consideration of their neighbors.* They justify their inconsiderateness by thinking that people who moved to within a mile of an airport are not due any consideration.* I beg to differ.* There are airports out in the countryside they could use where they would impact far fewer people with their Red Baron hobby.
We all have our pet hobbies, or hobby pets.* My pet hobby has been hi-fi - LOUD hi fi - since I was a teenager.* And musical instruments.* Things that some people just consider noise (actually, that a lot of people might consider noise ;D).* But I have learned to tone it down if I think it might be heard by the neighbors, and especially at night.
As I'm typing this at 11PM I hear a dog barking incessantly, 3 houses down, obviously outside, owned by a very inconsiderate, unthinking, halfwit neighbor.
Some of us believe attracting and feeding stray _________s (insert name of domestic or wild animal) is the neatest thing to do.* But how does it affect the neighbors?* We need to consider the effect of our actions on others.* Not everyone shares our favorite pastime, no matter how noble or sacred we think it might be.
