When I first moved into my hood, there was a community meeting about the local park. I am not kidding a man stood up and objected to some structures meant for either quiet reading or outdoor play depending on how you want to interact with it. He said "I live right across the street and I will have to listen to children playing all day"

Not sure why he bought a house across from a park but the entitlement isn't just drivers.

@chu Let me tell you about the people who buy condos across the street from nightclubs.

@jwz @chu One time my band played A COLLEGE TOWN BAR WITH A STAGE and a guy from upstairs came down to tell us we were too loud

@ReticentTurnip @jwz @chu People moved in across the road from a relative's farm yard and spent several decades complaining that it was smelly and noisy and had animals...

@jwz @chu Let me tell you about the time that I knew exactly who was calling in the complaints because I could see her walk out on her balcony while calling one night, and the recurring complaints stopped the week they moved out. I later had a friend move in to the same building, a floor up and a unit over, and it was dead silent inside with the windows shut. She wasn’t bothered by the noise; she just didn’t like us.
