[quote=Anonymous]1) Raising the bar for developers' soundproofing obligations is probably a good idea in general. But that would only help to bring new buildings a little closer to the standards of the old buildings. I live in an old building with wonderfully thick walls, but I still hear plenty of street noise and amplified music that's often performed outdoors a block away. So, 2) I have a hard time believing that better insulation would make bucket drumming and such actually quiet enough that it doesn't disturb residents in their homes or workers in their offices. 3) It isn't necessarily accurate to say that gogo or even the black community was "there first" in DC. That's more true in some neighborhoods than others, and it generally assumes history began around 1950 or so. But it didn't. [/quote]
