Ill go over there with a 1/2 ounce of mushrooms too and lets see how fucking loud I get while Im hammered as well!

You want noise! Fine, we'll bring Todd's ass to!

as much fun as it is to make light of the issue, i hardly think that rebelling in this manner (ie; making even more noise, etc) will help resolve it, likely will make things worse and make their complaints even more legit

(i realise you were being over the top, but people have mentioned that island party - and plan on being even louder due to this case)

Let me probably be the first to ask, but what did the Docks do to try and work with the residents to avoid this?

i heard they drastically lowered the sound levels over the past year
(and from the one party i attended, definately noticed it)

they brought in engineers and tried to soundproof the building. But in reality what could they do? These residents will whine no matter what.

There is something obvious that has been missed.

First:If the city doesnt want this place to exist then why did they grant the licence in the first place?

Second: If they force the docks to close, what will happen to the grandiose plans that are in the works to turn the portlands into a tourist attraction including nightclubs, aquariums, and a casino? Can such a small group of people affect such a large part of the city like that? Can so few people affect the lives of so many? Sadly, in canada the answer is yes.

This is a very good point..
Imo, a world class city is characterized by its quality of entertainment value, cultural activities and booming business. If people are looking for a quiet place to live, I don't how they rationalize this expectation if they live in close proximity to such activities. Go live in the suburbs...

better yet, lets save some money, buy a few of the houses, and then rent them out cheap to jarvis hookers and crack heads, convert one of them to an HA club house and basically fill the island with lowlifes and social deviants that wont complain about the noise issue. then once we have all these types of people on the island..... stop the ferry service. this will


A: eliminate the bitchy islanders problem

B: clean up the sketchy jarvis area

C: keep all the social deviants etc out of toronto, alcatraz style.....
