Default How to pith a toad (non-excretory)

Yeah, happens all the time in suburban and near suburban Australia too.
Been a number of cases of people buying land near a pig farm or
mushroom farm and immediately trying to get the places closed down.

IMNSHO there should be a caveat put on subdivision titles denying the
right to complain about pre-existing activities. Applies in spades to
people who buy waterfront apartments and immediately try to get the
commercial boatyards shut down (another problem in Sydney).

one thing that always pithes me off, people build houses next to farmland,
then complain about the manure smell. And, they they cut down large tracts
of forest, then call the development 'Thousand Oaks' and then the home
owners complain about the deer wondering around the streets. AND......oh,
never mind......

Why are they doing that???


'Cos they're all trying to be new-age yuppies, and mundane 1950s
items like fruit trees in the back yard are deeply untrendy.
Especailly as new housing is on very small blocks and has very
large houses, hence nowhere to grow such things anyway. never
mind, it'll all sort itself out ain the next 40 years as their
children all terminate early from obesity resulting from the
confined quarters and absence of open space. The australians
posting in this newsgroup range from strongly deviant to
extremely deviant from the suburban norm. From other things too
Scotty, so snbip away. (mutter mutter)
