The answer is Probably Yes! It seems that way too many folks will rush to embrace anything that is new, trendy, and exciting before giving much thought to any negative impacts the new thing might have (such as the noise of drones flying only 200ft above their houses). By the time they discover the negative aspects of something, it's too late to put the genie back into the bottle and we're all stuck with it.

Also, we probably ARE powerless to stop it. Our Constitution and Bill Of Rights have been reinterpreted to the point that large corporations often have more rights than people now. Therefore, Google, Amazon, Pizza Hut etc will likely be given the go ahead for drone deliveries regardless of how many folks object to having them flying just 200ft above their houses day and night.
