Honestly, I'm getting quite sick of people buying into new housing developments right next to an airport, then complaining about the noise.
Absolutely.

Likewise, Brisbane yuppy wannabes who bought units in an entertainment/crime precinct known as The Valley because it was , then successfully lobbied to have all the noisy live music venues/crime shut down so it isn't any more, just full of drunken yuppies complaining about the lack of .

Being a total dag I went to the Ekka this year as always (more properly known as the Royal Queensland Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition, founded 1875) and viewed all the new unit block development plans (sorry, 'regeneration project' )with dread. Sure, people will buy units at the Ekka, then they'll complain about the noise and the nasty smell (admittedly, it is a unique smell ) and before too long there'll be acres of nasty units and no Ekka.

Maybe it's a Queensland thing. Anyway, rant over. If you can't rant on the internet where can you rant?
