A few years ago a concert venue was forced to shut down because the land next to it turned into a residential area and they all started complaining about the noise whenever there was a concert.

Imagine moving in next to a place that's sole purpose for existing is loud music and then complaining about the loud music.

Humans are fuckin dumb and I can't wait till we're gone

There are 2 Navy helicopter training bases here. This is not a new thing.

And people here as still upset, whine and sue the Navy.

They're very polite BTW. The choppers almost always get to significant altitude before moving around.

It goes both ways. I remember when I was a kid and visited my family outside the city... Couldn't sleep, it was eerily quiet.

It's something that was happening at least 20 years ago as well. Though specifically for pig farms' smell: regulations of how to deal with the smell has long existed and quite often if there's complaints they're not using the filtration system because it's expensive to maintain.

I live within 200m of a pig farm and I've never smelled it itself.

No, it existed long before covid. There is towns which made a contract for people moving there, which deny them the right to file against the church's bells noises or cow's moo by example.

In the article, which was a daunting 200 words, it talks about cases from 2016 and 2019.

Its been happening for a very long time. Usually its farms, but it applies to anything loud and/or smelly. Racetracks and gun ranges are good examples.
