UPS was warning potential home buyers to ward off the inevitable complains. They had moved out the middle of nowhere to avoid the complaints but the people followed.

As I recall, people complain about the trucks starting up early in the morning.

I lived near a uhaul business. Early in the morning, every truck was started up. Gawd knows why. Made it hard to sleep late. The place backed my condo complex and it took me awhile to figure out where that rumbling noise was coming from.

Sitting in on several town's zoning meetings, you can see 2 of 5 zoning board members recuse. TheBlackAdder Oct 2019 #10

At least their zoning board members recuse themselves. Baitball Blogger Oct 2019 #13

A lot of these towns get almost no ratables from these warehouses, kicking costs onto residents. TheBlackAdder Oct 2019 #9
