I mean you act like property and space are confusing concepts. You moved there because of convenience and value; imparted partially because of the presence of an airport.

If you sell Widgets and 100k people buy that widget voluntarily, technically yes, you can "blame" those 100k people for buying that widget. Conversely it is unlikely those 100k are going to blame the Widgets for ruining their lives because they know exactly what they are buying when they bought it.
You moved into the area in full knowledge of what to expect.
In many ways this is a perfect example of entitlement.
