I read that article and while I feel bad for people who are having their lives disrupted, it strikes me as naive that one should expect peace and quiet when they live in close proximity to industrial land. The nature of industrial land near the mouth of the Fraser River has changed quite a lot in the quarter century that the residents have lived there. There is a lot more trucking now, particularly Third Party Logistics (3PL) firms that move containers throughout Metro Vancouver, as opposed to mills and plants that were the previous mainstay of lower Fraser. I can see how residents could have been quite content to live with their former industrial neighbours, especially those that may have kept regular daytime business hours, while 24/7 trucking operations are another animal entirely.
