The new ‘countryside sounds and smells law’ aims to give more protection to existing farms from newly arrived residents in the area.
Not trying to be weird or anything, but the smell of manure is one of the most important parts of the rural experience. But try explaining that to real estate parasites…
There was a rural town where I grew up that had roots in ranching. Everyone had horse corrals. It got big enough to incorporate into a city and started to grow quickly, but the new incoming residents started complaining about the horse manure smell.
So the city council passed a law that says basically the manure was here before you were. Get over it.
Did you know that Alfred Krupp, one of the guys responsible for the arms race that led to World War 1, absolutely loved the smell of horse manure? He loved it to a point where he built a house designed so he could always smell it. Wild stuff.
How do you design a house to smell like horse shit, aside from filling the walls with it?
The house prices in my area dropped so hard when my neighbor had to close his pig farm after the ammonia killed his lungs, I mean come on, can’t you keep doing it with your oxygen bottle?
Thank god the cow farm on the other side is still working, without the screaming of them being tied their whole life in their own shit it would have gone all down the drain.
What was the alternative?
Farms and other such places getting shut down by newly built housing developments.
Ahh the old Let me move to country side and get upset by local things so I change everything. Then later move again when it was just like where I started.
Don’t worry, people do that in cities too. People move into “trendy” neighborhoods, ruin them by campaigning to change them, and then move to the next trendy place.
Self entitlement and stupidity have no bounds.
People should be forbidden from complaining about things that predated them moving into an area.
For those who don’t know: on the island of Maui- known for it’s lush green central valley of sugar cane waving in the breeze- a bunch of real esnake developers began complaining about their fake paradise getting covered in ash from the nighttime controlled burns by the sugar cane company (about 160 years old)…see, they had built right in the path of the wind.
Long story short, they bribed the officials and won. Now Maui is a brown, unattractive desert with uncontrolled wildfires instead of controlled fires with irrigation sprinklers.
Maui is going to die.
This is ludicrously incorrect. Everything is back to being green now, unless it was a desert zone to begin with.

Maui is going to die.
If you ended that reply by commenting on the central valley alone, you might have a valid point, but you imply all of Maui is brown and going to die. That is incorrect. I am also on this island and can see it myself.
edit: it also leaves out how most residents also wanted the cane burning and plowing to stop because it was a health problem, and how companies are slowly replanting that land with various crops that don’t cause the same type of issues, but are still in early stages.
It also implies that there’s only one place affected by the ashfall and dust by being downwind, which is incorrect when people in Kihei, Wailuku and Paia can be affected (as experienced personally by myself in all three places), which are all in entirely different directions. The wind doesn’t always blow one way here.
edit2: it’s also weird that this reply was to an article about roosters, but instead of commenting on that problem here, you went with something completely unrelated.
Can we ban my neighbor yelling back at the roosters? Like, buddy, I’m sorry that Disney tricked you into thinking it’s a sunrise thing. They do it all hours of the day and night as they please, and you yelling “SHUT THE FUCK UP IT’S NOT SUNRISE” isn’t helping anything.
I dont know why but some dude yelling at roosters like that is fucking hilarious. Especially since roosters DGAF.
