So, some folks bought land to build McMansions, signed a document stating that they knew a pig farm was next door and now they want the pig farm to shut down.
Uh, huh. Right.
Idiots.

...more than 900 pigs live in a barn perched atop a 500,000 gallonmanure pit, all of which sits a light breeze away from vast tracts of ranch houses and minimansions.I bet the local realtors paid close attention to wind direction when showing the houses!

'"We have a unique situation here," said state Senator Susan Tucker, Democrat of Andover, who is leading an effort to regulate the farms. "When families can't go outside on hot summer days, something is wrong."'Stupid people. They were totally unaware there was a pig farm nearby? Idiots. Give 'em gas masks.
The same thing happens to shooting ranges and dairy farms, et al. Regulate them out of business.
And these people vote? Crikey!

Airport syndrome. It doesn't matter that the farm was already there, it will be forced to shut down.
The same thing happened to this gun club in terms of surrounding developments, but they were able to move.

It became "horrific, like the bottom of a dumpster," Powers said. "I don't think a factory farm should be in a suburban Boston neighborhood."Err, bonehead. you got it ass backwards.
"I don't think a suburban Boston neighborhood should be in a factory farm."
You signed documents telling you, you were moving next to a pig farm

I’m sure the homeowners figured they could shut down the piggery eventually through legal means later, thereby increasing the value of their homes.
One should do a survey and find out if the people complaining are liberals and democrats. It wouldn’t surprise me of almost all of them are.

Some complaints come from residents at a luxury subdivision next to the farm, even though the people who live there signed a legal document recognizing the farm's existence at the time of purchase and the pig farm was there long before the residents. Tough....
never mind.

The same thing is going on here in Iowa where the college professors and elite professionals want to move out “to the country” then raise a stink (pun intended) about the smell.
There’s a house down the road going for $444K or so that is next door to a farm with an expanding hog confinement facility. Nice house and can’t see the hog farm from there, but I doubt it will sell at that price unless someone from “the country” buys it...;)

If the farm was there first, then it’s too bad for the idiots who moved in without knowing their neighbors.
Of course the farm will be stolen by rezoning or imminent domain and the farmer will be SOL.
It’s the new American Way.

Maybe they were such ‘city folk’ that they didn’t realize what a pig farm would smell like. I bet that a lot of these homes were purchased in the winter.

Michigan has a “Right To Farm Act”.
Do you know if Massachusetts does?
To: Lorianne
Isn't the solution relatively easy?
Put a special tax assessment on the complainers' properties and use the money raised to buy a methane digester for the pig farm. The smell will be ameliorated and the people complaining will be the ones paying.
Oh, and don't forget to keep collecting the tax long after the digester has been paid for; instead divert the money "for the children" ... that is how Democrats roll after all.
