    There was a rural town where I grew up that had roots in ranching. Everyone had horse corrals. It got big enough to incorporate into a city and started to grow quickly, but the new incoming residents started complaining about the horse manure smell.

    So the city council passed a law that says basically the manure was here before you were. Get over it.

      It’s like those people moving into houses beside an airport or railway track and complaining about the noise.

      They probably got a house for 10% cheaper than elsewhere, why did they think it was such a good deal?
