PARIS: Urbanites seeking peace and quiet in the bucolic French countryside will have more difficulty in taking farmers to court over crowing roosters, mooing cows and stinking pigs in the future after parliament passed a new law, reported German news agency (dpa).
This is a legitimate problem in rural areas. People will move in next to a pig farm and then complain about the smell. Glad to hear the French farmers got a win.
A similar problem happens in cities. People move to cities not expecting all the road noise and people noise and complain about it. My buddy owns a rental and tells me about the complaints some people have and it always gets a laugh out of me.
It goes both ways. I remember when I was a kid and visited my family outside the city… Couldn’t sleep, it was eerily quiet.
You should sue the countruside for being too quiet.
I’m an adult now, I solve problems in the adult way. I just leave the car running overnight and shut the family cat in there, it always bumps into the horn rummaging around in there. Cars and horns. Just like home in the big city.
@Semi-Hemi-Demigod @DerpyPoint is that a new thing specific to post-covid city-accustomed people trying to emigrate to the countryside, being bothered by countrylife and trying to eliminate it?
Its been happening for a very long time. Usually its farms, but it applies to anything loud and/or smelly. Racetracks and gun ranges are good examples.
But what do you do if a pig farm moves next to you?
