Worse than the settlements are the fenced roads going to the settlements.
They build a settlement 20 miles from you but the road crosses your land? Well now you've got to travel 40 miles to get to the other side of your field 100 yards away.
What's that? They built another settlement on the other side of your land, and then built a road between the 2 settlements? Now you're surrounded by roads with fences you can't cross.

Yup, a 2 min walk becomes a 30 min commute.
