I live in a rural farming area by choice. I would never live in a subdivision or housing developement let alone a city. We are experiencing what you describe. Yuppies who are wanting to "get back to nature" or whatever the reason are moving into the country. What we have now are people who have lived here for 5 years or less hiring lawyers to shut down the hog and cattle farmers who have been here for many generations. They don't like the smell from the animals, they don't like the large farm machinery. It is a shame what these people are doing. As far back as I can remember I don't know of a farmer moving to town and asking them to ban traffic because it's too loud or turn off the street lights because they're too bright. Sorry for the tirade, I just needed to get this off my chest.
