At the very least you may discourage the NIMBY attitude that is so prevalent in our society
A nimby wrote to the local paper about how dangerous it was that little aeroplanes were allowed to fly at roof-top height over his house. I wrote back explaining how this isn't, of course, allowed, and how it wouldn't be particularly dangerous if it was, and offering him a ride. Surprise surprise I've not heard from him.

However, since the recent ward boundary changes he's now one of my constituents, so I'm bound to be knocking on his door sooner or later - it is of course illegal to take one of my own constituents for a ride during an election, but it would be OK now.
