The machinery in that case was shut down because it wasn't desirable in a residential area!

The confectioner was operating out of a house and the doctor wanted to practice out of a shed in his backyard.

So it would be entirely keeping with that outcome to declare that a park or whatever is intended for peaceful relaxation and ban noisy drones.

Of course you'd have to do it with a straight face knowing that the park already has young people in poorly muffled trucks zooming around all the time.

I don't know. The candy maker has been there 60 years and it didn't bother anyone. Does the doctor's right to operate sensitive equipment outweigh the right the candy maker has to use his machines like he's been doing for 60 years? It's not obviously clear to me one way or the other
