The old joke, when driving through the prairies, is that folks would pass the time by counting grain elevators.

I'm not one to assume that just because something is old or traditional, it must be preserved at all costs. But it is true that a certain architectural and cultural character will be lost when the last wooden grain elevator is taken down on the Canadian prairies.

now imagine reverse situation - trying to put up a new grain elevator or may be a wind mill - people will rise to fight against potential obstruction/spoiling of their view. Any change is bad by default :)

Well, probably in 100 or 200 years the descendants of Kennedy and others powerful Cape Cod dwellers will say the same about the future wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod which they so far have successfully been able to fight against.
