Look these people are nimby assholes but this isn't what people bitch about. They bitch and it getting put in their backyards in nicer locations.
No, they really do complain about them being put anywhere within their line of sight, miles from their homes. I've personally met and talked to people complaining about it.
Yes. In nice areas. What's so complicated? Are you really trying to nitpick over the use of back yards? I hate to break it to you but using backyard to describe an area beyond your property line is pretty common English.
The fact that you claim they they only complain when they are in their back yards. Stop moving the goal post.
Oh, so you are being nitpicky over common English. Understood.
Miles away, and barely visible, sometimes completely out of sight, isn't in anyone's "backyard", no matter how generous you are with language.
