Amazon delivery drones overwhelm a Texas suburb, sparking NIMBY backlash
Polymarket · x · 2026-09-27
Amazon's drone deliveries have gone big in a Texas suburb — and residents are pushing back hard, saying the tech is cool but "we can't live like this" and looking for ways to stop it.
An Amazon spokeswoman said customer response has been "overwhelmingly positive," that fewer than 1% of inquiries this year were noise-related, and compared the drone noise to a window fan on low — quieter during delivery than a passing car.
