What about the long-term residents living next to (or in the vicinity of)
a small airport that grows into a noise spewing monster? Was not the
resident there before the expansion?

What about the airport that was there next to a small sympathetic town,
which grows into a condo-maniac mosnter? Was not the airport there
before the expansion?

Typically both things happen at once as population grows.

And to go back to the highway, traffic on the highway increases and more
trucks go by, turning =that= into a noise-spewing monster. Was not the
resident there before the traffic expansion? Why not close the highway?

And, how on earth are nonpilots supposed to know where flight paths are
located?

Stop and listen. Ask the homeowner. You're plunking down a sizable
fraction of a million dollars - do some research.
