I'm with you on that....we are still zoned ag but the subbies have moved
ouyt...when the big influx came about 8 years ago, we started getting booby
trapped bridle paths and the city bicycle clubs started an anti-horse
campaign...since a horse is a legal mode of road transportation in MI they
didn't get anywhere, but that didn't stop them from terrorism...one reason
why I sold off my horses...got to be that every time you went someone was
harassing you or trying to spook your horse on purpose....I actually had a
bicyclist accost me in my own driveway because my horse had made a dump....I
asked him where he lived and he said in Grand Rapids...I informed him that I
paid taxes on my property, he didn't, and that he could go ride down the
city streets and become a drive-by shooting for all I cared...

You should have shot him. It's legal in your own driveway. We have lots
of Amish horse & buggies around here. The yuppie types complain about them,
even though they were here first.

Scotty, can't we all just get along?

Not any more.

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).
