I also wonder, after hearing her complain about students taking parking. Was the school built before she moved there? I doubt it. Did she look around the neighborhood before she bought to see if there were students from, say, a local school who might just be around during the day? Doubt it. It reminds me of all those people who complain about airport noise after they buy a house next to the airport. It's no one elses fault she didn't do her homework.
Good questions, and it reminds me of a story that my father had told me about a person who owned a sawmill out in the middle of nowhere, a sawmill that had been there "forever" without any problems. A developer passing through the area "falls in love with it." And buys up most of the surrounding land. And builds houses, he then proceeds to get either the city or county to change the zoning so that the sawmill is forced to close down. Using the argument that the noise from the sawmill disturb his potential clients. If I remember correctly, the developer won and was able to get the sawmill removed.
