#2 In-laws who live on the Maine ocast report a similar phenomenon. Picturesque fishing villages are less attractive to the ears and nose than they are to the eyes, so yuppies rusticating there from NY and Boston are trying to limit fishing activities, which means other people's livelihoods.

#5 Same story here with a very small private airport. People bought adjacent new homes and then tried to get the airport shut down for noise reasons. The airport is decades older than the homes.

#6 I have some family south of Denver. They moved there to be closer to the wildlife; deer, elk, etc. City folk started moving into the same area for similar reasons, then started complaining that the wildlife was destroying their flowers and made it dangerous for the kids to go out and play. Now that the area is suburbanized people are complaining that there is no wildlife which is why the yuppies moved there - and my relatives lost the reason they chose that place because of the new neighbors.
