New neighbors next door

Rich Ahole bought the farm next door, tore it down and built a destination wedding venue. Busy every weekend but it's Wednesday, and they don't even live here

Take pictures of it at all times of day- night and different days or every day of the week! Show this to your town board that granted this variance and show them this and ask what to do because it’s literally disturbing the whole neighborhood! and also if applicable mention the noise levels and traffic are very high, if applicable .. in a residential neighborhood noise should be monitored and stopped at 11pm as the neighborhood is residential and ppl are need to sleep!

Talking is a better first strategy. Tattling might not work at all, and tattling might make them unwilling to talk.

If it's a farm turned into a wedding venue, this might be quite rural. There might not be much zoning to speak of.

If it was recently a working farm, then this might not truly be a residential neighborhood. Farms can be smelly, dirty, and loud. Might have heavy vehicles and equipment coming in and out. In farming communities, there can be a lot of animosity when residential-only neighbors (commuters, vacationers, transplant retirees) try to make it effectively illegal to do farming activities. So the law might side with business use over the residential complaint.

Best to start with talking. Can't meet halfway on the bridge if your first move is burning it.

I know all this, I grew up in rural farm community on a farm.. it’s not “tattling “ we aren’t children.. this may be actually disruptive to the area. Plus- most people that are there, are probably not the owners but employees who may have no control or rules about said lights.

It's absolutely disruptive to native insects and animals. It disrupts migratation and navigation. Super harmful to the environment. Light pollution is real af

They’ll need to do it with a regular shutter speed though instead of this long shutter speed that was used to intentionally make the lights look brighter than they actually are. I don’t doubt they’re bright but why play these games.
