Williamsburg Community Board BANS Waterfront Concerts

Don't live in a young, hip neighborhood then! Try living outside a bar, it is just the same. At least your noise stops at 10pm, mine doesn't till 4am...if I am lucky, and this is on a daily basis. You should not be living in Willyburg if you go to bed before 10pm. Go spend your $4000 for a 1 bedroom rent somewhere else and complain.they are upset because they have to deal with noise and people for a couple hours a month, not even considering how many jobs, and incomes were just lost in this selfish act. I am so pissed off right now, I could just storm the high rises on Kent ave with a bottle of spray paint and tag it to say "fuck off you hipster yupies!!!!"

None of the buildings surrounding the park are old enough that their residents moved to Williamsburg for any reason other than the bar and nightlife and restaurant scene. If they have changed their opinions or how they want to live their lives that is their choice and mustn't be permitted to force it upon others; especially not when its putting. Stop to things that have become a part ofthe neighborhood and it's livelyhood, and are supported by te city and state. There are plenty of residential neighborhoods near manhattan that don't have the same hustle and bustle. It's a shame that community boards exist and have the power they do. NYC has seen the problems that can be caused by driving out businesses. Limit the community boards, not public services and communal gatherings.

this isn't like noise from a bar, this is like sitting in the middle of madison square garden, there is a flea market and food festival all weekend and 20,000 folks and garbage all weekend long on the same corner.  get real.  you wouldn't like it either.

I've lived in Williamsburg 15 years-- I wish people would stop acting like it's their god-given right to use my street as a performance space.  And for you half-wits who think we ought to "move somewhere else", consider that not all of us can afford to do just that, and that the whole reason you want to be in Williamsburg is because folks like myself moved out here when it was a ghetto and made it something special.  Now it's just a clusterfuck of wanna-bes.  Go break your own ground, if you want to play the "it's a city" game, let's see how long you'd last in a rough area.  My elderly neighbors, my blue-collar family neighbors, all of us have a right to be here too, so take your spoiled-brat attitude elsewhere.
