Letters to the Editor
No benefit to noisy bars Re “Liquor, not milk, brings jobs” (Letter by Christopher Molinari, March 17 – 23): Mr. Molinari misses the point, like a smoker oblivious to the fact that his rights end when they interfere with my rights. If his neighbor chooses to be “tucked in at 9 p.m.,” how does that affect Molinari — unless Molinari considers his bar an extension of his neighbor’s apartment. There are enough residents who have had bars inflict noise on them — as if the bars had eminent domain — in apartments they are paying damn good money to live in. At least a resident is paid to move out with eminent domain. Perhaps the offending bars should pay affected tenants’ rents — and a class-action lawsuit is called for. Jobs are lost? What about those who are kept awake until 4 a.m.? What economic benefit is that? What is the social benefit to hard-working people of having to deal with this quality-of-life nightmare?
