I would gladly take a wind turbine by my house, especially if it meant drones were restricted from flying near it.

Wind turbines are pretty noisy, so you might not want it right next to your house. That's a bit like living next to a high way.

Edit: OK, since this topic is fairly controversial I just wanted to say that it's probably not as loud as a highway, but it is noisy!

Are you drones a problem near your house?
Not currently, but it is definitely something I worry about for the future. I'm pretty adamant in my support for (relative) peace and quiet in public spaces, but recently those around me have seemed to care less and less, which worries me.

For the time being, just living close to a small airport should do.

It prevents them from ever being a problem being flown near a house
In my neighborhood, a drone would likely be shot down if it were over someone else's property.
If the war in Ukraine has taught me anything, it’s that you’re unlikely to be able to shoot down a drone if you even notice it at all.
IDK. My neighbor is pretty good hitting clay pigeons.
So am I. Drone moves very differently from clay pigeons. But now I'd like to try...
This summer we had a drone hovering high over the community pool, spying on women and teens sunbathing. We never managed to figure out where it was coming from.
