Its instinct to protect your "world". So many things in this world cannot be just black and white. While they certainly have a right to live where they want. The people who already live there, that have already grounded their lives and families have a right to protect said families too.
I think they should have picked a very secluded spot to reside with no neighbors for miles around. Or perhaps made a conscience choice to find a studio and not do it from their home any longer. I am also sure that the opposition was not a surprise. Ain't free advertising great?
All just IMHO of course.
