My family moved into this house in 1957, when this neighborhood was all families, and no students. We're now the only house on the block that doesn't have an absentee landlord and between six and 12 students living in it. What part of this is unclear to you?

"Before the college students swarmed in" - I didn't realize you were here in 1820, you must be pretty close to paying off your mortgage!

Because it's not just about noise. It's about absentee landlords who have destroyed neighborhoods in this city, and the rights of the people who were here BEFORE the college students swarmed in.

If we can be so quick on the trigger with parking tickets, why can't we just have "noise enforcement" employees, like meter maids? Leave the law as it is and enforce existing noise regs?
