I bought my house specifically because it's in a quiet area. If they wanted to build a daycare or school or whatever in my back yard, which was a large factor in why I purchased said house, you can bet your bottom I'd be out there yelling with these people.

It's not just the buses and excessive traffic either. I assume there are also playgrounds and things, so daytime noise pollution of kids screaming and playing would be a massive negative to the neighborhood.

I'm with em. I spent nearly half a million on my house largely because of the quiet, low-traffic neighborhood. You write about how neighborhoods have too much power, but I promise you, anyone spending that much money would expect to have a say in what happens with the neighborhood.
