[net.aviation] Airports vs. their neighbours

dmmartindale (08/10/82)

It's worth noting that it isn't just airports that have problems with
encroaching residential areas.  Farming areas near cities have exactly
the same sort of problem - people buy farmland to build houses on to
get away from city living, and then discover that they don't like some
of the smells that tend to be produced by farms that have livestock.
Sometimes, they try to get local bylaws passed restricting the operations
of the farmers.  Perhaps some sort of zoning regulation would help keep
farmers (or pilots) and homeowners out of each others' hair.  Regulations
to keep commercial and industrial operations out of residential areas exist;
perhaps farmland and airports need protection from residences.
