The RAAF's main jet training base at Pearce, WA, was way out in the boonies and bothered nobody.

Then in 1978 a developer bought the farm next to the main runway and started putting in infrastructure. He came to the School one day and said "I am having a big sales day on Saturday, can you please not be flying that day?"

Staff meeting, and Friday's flying moved to Saturday, with the requirement to perform at least one low-level circuit, flaps out and lots of power, over the land sale, for each sortie.

But still, people bought, built, and then complained. Stoopid is as stoopid does.
