I think one of the worries is that as people have their "sea change" they take their "city" values, attitudes etc to the country. I remember seeing something on TV some time ago about this phenomenon where some country towns have become so popular with the sea changers that the place ceases to be "country" anymore. Some of the locals were complaining how they can no longer go out and leave the house or car unlocked and are having problems usually associated with the cities, like fights at night, graffiti etc. Maybe if you want to move into a rural area you should have an interview or at least take a test to see if you would fit in.
As for the trouble makers being "older" I am surprised (it is usually restricted to males with too much testosterone flowing through their veins) and disapointed (they are old enough to know better). I would also not be surprised if the majority were "city slickers", lack of consideration seems to be a more common city value.
Hopefully, they woke next morning with a throbbing headache and a few broken bones!
