I'm confused, isn't the neighborhood who protest about these stores are also the same neighborhood who want them (that's why the stores are there in the first place)?
Or _some_ people in the neighborhood want convenience at the expense of others?

The stores have a relatively large range, but create a nuisance within a small portion.
Neighbourhoods debate all kinds of things that some people want and others don’t: strip clubs, coffeeshops, prostitution. All are legal here, but have rules because even though presumably some people find them convenient, others less so. Does that help clear up the confusion?
The stores are there because some large enterprises want to turn really quick delivery of groceries into a business model, so far they are making a loss.
Presumably, the problems do not affect those not in immediate vicinity of the warehouse/shipping operation. Those experiencing problems could be much fewer in number than those being able to be serviced by the warehouse while also being too far away to experience the problems.
Which is a way zoning laws start to be introduced.
Similarly, _some_ people in the neighbourhood want it to be quiet at the expense of others.
Within reason. I lived near a noisy neighbor (drug dealer/user etc). If you got work next day in a 9 to 5 job (like normal people) you don't want noisy drama at 3 AM.
