Sure ... but there's a big difference between not wanting to live above one, and choosing to live above a likely spot for a restaurant and then having the unmitigated gall of going all Nimby when the inevitable happens.I wouldn't want any restaurant in my building. The risk of pests is way too high. Delivery trucks make noise and block access. Garbage ends up being piled up at night curbside or in laneways -- and then the garbage trucks come. Food odor is also an issue, although I would rather have an Italian place than any place that specializes in meat -- whether it's burgers or souvlakis or jerk chicken. There's something about all that grease that hangs in the air.
I wouldn't choose to live next to an airport either ... and I don't those that do have a right to move in and then start making noise complaints about pre-existing conditons - which also happens.
BTW, what IS the definition of Riverside? I'm not sure I've seen it defined.
