The only problem with that theory is for example if someone moves next to a racetrack that has been there for years, and complains about the noise. Ultimately the track has to lower the noise or gets given limitations that ultimately chokes it

There was a pub in Sydney that was 'famous' for it's live Sunday afternoon music sessions for over 50 years... However a bunch of new neighbours got together and the upshot was the pub can no longer have live music on a Sunday afternoon
