…a metaphysical manifestation of the corruption now on display at Queens Park? That strikes me as most likely.

Is giving a fine not enforcing the bylaw? I have actually been in this club when it was shut down for noise complaints. The cops showed up. stopped the music and everyone was asked to leave. I suppose I should blame you for that ?? A fine might not be a lot for this club but I DJ at a bar monthly and the owner is constantly being fined because his neighbour, who just moved in beside him, complains regularly. He owns a bar right on Dundas. My point is don't move next to a bar/club if you don't like noise. The bar is regularly inspected by the Alcohol and gaming commission who hands out very large fines for noise. It's almost impossible to have fun in this city anymore. Longtime techno promoters Mansion completely stopped throwing parties because it was too difficult to find a venue. Tory's patio regulations are another example. Soybomb was also shut down. If anything this city OVER regulates fun.

Again, I know nothing about construction noise complaints.

Are you actually a trust fund douche-bag or do you just sound like one? Being able to go to sleep at midnight on a Thurs in an area that is 95% residential comes before your need to party until 3am and the bylaws agree with me. Unfortunately they don't get enforced 95% of the time. You want to party, go find somewhere where you don't disturb more people than are being entertained. Not to mention the stabbings, drug dealing and fights that happen at this intersection.

NIMBYism at its best! Welcome to big city living. I am always surprised when I hear someone upset with bars and nightclubs DT, where there should be bars and nightclubs.... Why do you think they're called NIGHTclubs? This type of city life should be celebrated, it is what makes a city amazing. Very few want to visit a city with no nightlife. It is what attracts young talent, and it is what makes a city colourful. Toronto shouldn't thrive to be Newmarket, with just more buildings. If anything, we need more night action, and not just on Friday and Saturday nights.

I live right DT, and yes, some nights can be hard to sleep with my window open, but this was the compromise I made living in the heart of the city where everything is at my fingertips and I have the luxury of walking and biking everywhere. I'd rather live in a box above a nightclub over the burbs and have to take the DVP twice a day (never again). But that's just me, and why I live in the city. Something I am thankful for each and everyday.

Btw, ear plugs are extremely effective and very cheap ;)

I have been living in downtown Toronto for almost 30 years. I agree that you cannot expect 24/7 tranquillity, and over the years, I have used vast quantities of ear plugs (currently to block out Manulife Centre construction noise at night). However, neighbourhoods evolve. Downtown is vastly more populated than when I arrived; more and more people choose to live here. It stands to reason that in the end, they will be the ones who dictate which commercial uses they tolerate and which they don't.
