Kansas Is Protecting Race Tracks From Idiotic HOAs and Nosey Karens

Here in America, we have a housing affordability crisis. Note, I didn't say a housing stock crisis, as we have plenty of houses for each and every American. That's a myth I've debunked numerous times when it comes to public land sell-offs. 

But one way of mitigating the housing affordability crisis is tossing around new homes and subdivisions further and further out of central hubs. It's cheaper to build new places away from the places you want to live, forcing you to commute to and from those main areas to have cheaper homes. That, however, tends to lead to conflict among the new and old residents, and it leads to conflicts between those who set up shop ages ago, before anyone in a white SUV arrived with their caramel frappes. 

And the issue that we've paid attention to in recent years is the growing animosity between the new residents and suburban Homeowners Associations and race track officials who've been operating without issue for decades. Basically, it comes down to the new residents not liking that race tracks are, in fact, noisy, and that the noise is apparently affecting their calm, suburban want for everything to be perfect despite them moving in right next to a damn race track.
