“The government and the F.A.A. have failed us.”

.... an 83-pound drone with six blue arms and whirring propellers appeared in a corner of the sky before zipping over nearby houses, looking like a cross between a mechanical dragonfly and an X-wing fighter, and buzzing like a battalion of bees.

...any joy about the innovation has been muted by the sound of dozens of drones, if not more than a hundred of them, flying by every day, sometimes so loud that they sound like flying lawn mowers.

Oh, my, God. Could be as bad or worse than a data center next door. Have you ever had someone in your neighborhood fly a drone near your house? It is not pleasant. Think, too, it's not like a lawn mower that will shut down when the job is complete.
