Part of the problem is what is the definition of "late" and "loud"? Someone in their infinite wisdom decided that 9:00 PM was time to shut down the town squares. Is that right? Maybe 11:00 PM would be better. Or maybe 9:00 weekdays and midnight weekends? Oops, that is for working neighborhoods. Or maybe some of us still work.h What about New Years eve? Is later OK then? What noise level and how far away can you hear it?
Maybe a good compromise would be that 9:00 PM in the town squares and 10:00 PM at the CC's as long as the noise level was no more then XX dbs at a distance of 300 feet away. And the same noise guide but 11:00 PM at both places on Friday and Saturday. Exceptions for Holidays like New Years eve and maybe a couple others.
Never will all the rules and guidelines please everyone. But we all have to live in the same "BIG Village" so lets try to figure out a solution that works for everyone.
