Understanding proposed changes and power dynamics at play as Asheville City Council nears vote on noise ordinance revisions after two years of community debate
Great recap. ! I can tell you that 72 or 75 actually received at our condo - can be quite disturbing.
Some of us were hoping the noise would be measured routinely--at a distance from each noise generation- ie-- 10-15' from Buskers- 10-15' from bars- and 10-15' from automobiles. That gives each noise generator the same rules to follow and seems to be fair - as "uniform" for all- Under the present plan - I guess we need complain- and then the administrators come to where we live and take a measurement at our homes- then go back to the buisiness or band- and decide the amount of enforcement. If all noise was measured near the source- the administrator can measure and talk right there- and not require a citizen complaint- to act- a much better way to enforce-- in my opinion. So- if this passes similar to what is written- - I guess I will be inviting an administator up to my condo- to measure? I wish the administrators could just do the job- of lowering the noise level-- without our complaints.
