Especially in the newly-developed areas along the lake, which are sold with the appeal of being lakeside property but are actually separated from the lake by railway (puncutated by very sporadic access tunnels and ugly concrete parks). Not only are the houses built on clay soil which is difficult to grow in, but the mosquitoes are terrible, the lake is smelly, and when you do make it to the lake, you can see the Pickering nuclear power station on the shore, in the distance. So, windmills on top of this may ruin the illusion for good :) I guess it really was too good to be true. Some of the people in that area will have strokes over all of this, I think.
