From the transcript
I just think that we should also expect that people will respond differently to something new that is being put in place than something that has existed for a long time. So those those people might be comfortable calling up their neighbors and might just have accepted that that is part of where they live. But as evidenced by a lot of the public comments we got, if we're putting in something new, people may not just be willing to approach it the same way that people in Anderson have been. And it might be that we don't have any good options where it's completely out of earshot, but just something that I think we should expect that they won't necessarily take to it the same way that someone in Anderson might be. Nobody likes change.
