Even if we agree that it causes visual pollution, I'd argue that visual pollution from fossil fuels is many multitudes worse. Case in point, major chinese and indian cities.

Sometimes "ugly" is even "not pretty and wealthy looking".

Wind turbines aren't pretty but they're not any more of an eye sore as overhead power lines or whatever. And at least it's a symbol of caring about being sustainable.

A lot of people like to move all the "ugly" elsewhere out of their sight and then call those places shitholes. It doesn't bother them they're just moving the infrastructure where the less wealthy have to deal with it. They'd rather a coal plant destroy a lower class city in pollution than see wind turbines near their upper class neighbourhood.

We stayed at a private beach resort once and I never want to again. Sure it was nice for a bit having so much space to yourself, but I miss you guys. I missed the +90 year old couples holding hands, the kids hopped up on ice cream and youth and BEACH, the young families holding a newborn, the middle aged bikers, the weird guy driving a model T, teenagers being sullen and prodding jellyfish, dogs who look like they are in heaven, hipster bicycles, processed meat fried in sugar somehow, arcades that still take coins run by crooked carnies, the 12 guys who decided to dig a really deep hole, the weird religious ethnic immigrant group just chillin...

I missed humanity in all its loud happy glory. This is the way we are meant to have fun, together. Not alone on some beach chair while someone underpaid changes our towels.

That’s how they’ve been restricting multi home buildings for years. They don’t want it to lower their resale value by obstructing the skyline.
