What's odd is that they often get their way. <br /><br />There used to be a thing called "negative externalities" whereby one party is negatively affected by something another party does. It used to be a fact of life, but now it's something that needs to addressed ASAP.<br /><br />At least in your example you gained some urban density in the process.cherenkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355986781478585611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-61326529778422088732012-05-22T23:02:18.225-05:002012-05-22T23:02:18.225-05:00Something similar happened in downtown Halifax bac...Something similar happened in downtown Halifax back in the late 1990s. An apartment building was built across the street from a very popular late night bar that was well known for having a roof that opened up to allow fresh air in. They were also well known for having excellent live loud music. This area of downtown was known for extremely late night partiers and routinely had people hanging outside this bar and other bars and restaurants on adjoining streets. Downtown Halifax is known for pubs and late night pedestrians, it is a port city and acts like one. Anyone who bought an apartment in that new building could have easily observed this and would have been well aware of the situation prior to buying an apartment there. The new apartment tenants petitioned and managed to get the bar shut down. I still miss that bar. Had some awesome memories there. Sigh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
