I remember when the rich people moved up from NY and NJ to Maine to live in all those quaint seaports then they complained about the smell from the docks and such because of the people who dared to work as lobstermen and fishermen instead of lawyers. Maine finally got sick of it and passed laws protecting the working seaports.

Then the rich folks bought the pretty islands off of the coast and complained about the foghorns that are part of the protection system for boats. So now they don't sound unless you have a device that triggers them. Part of the beauty of the seacoast, hearing the foghorns, is now gone because some millionaire needs to be coddled.
