    Those sound like legitimate complaints. I’d be pissed if the house that I bought ended up a much, much less pleasant place to live because of a 3rd party.

    Windmills don’t belong in residential areas, just as coal power plants don’t, and solar farms in residential areas just seems like a waste of space.

      You do understand that huge swathes of ‘residential’ area aren’t in cities, right? Like rural areas still exist…

        Yes, and I still believe that if something is dense enough to be considered residential (be it suburbs or not) shouldn’t have wind turbines.

        Truly rural areas are different and should be treated differently. But when referencing “residential” the default is still somewhat densely packed, even if it’s not fully urban.
