I've been telling you people that the Austin market is hosed. similar to San Francisco it is largely thanks to decades of nimbys blocking anything that isnt their preferred construction style (single family housing on 1/8th acre lots).

worth pointing out that in addition to the stupid-high sales price the property tax on that will likely be about $1k/month

dont worry they built enough condos downtown to make sure the live music industry is dead in 5-10 years



because when you move into a condo downtown to be close to the clubs, you are shocked, just shocked, that they dare play loud music past 10pm!

one of the only good things the supervisors in sf have done is to block nuisance lawsuits against entertainment venues that were there before the housing was built

took a decade and a half of lovely lawsuits to get there though

new orleans has had a similar problem w/ gentrifiers moving into the Quarter and the Marigny and getting all pissy about the music

and nowadays they're trying for zoning building-by-building and then the neighbors start lawsuits when these businesses get music permits anyway

According to Cropley, it’s not the music she and her neighbors object to; it’s noise, and crowds on weekend nights.

“I’m a music lover, I have friends who are musicians, I go see live music all the time,” she said. “I checked the zoning before I bought my home. I was shocked the first weekend to hear live music until 4 a.m. And all the doorman does is check I.D.’s, there’s no crowd control.”

The group filed suit, she said, as a last resort, after several meetings with Dykes and officers of the Faubourg Marigny Improvement Association failed to convince them the bar would turn it down on weekends.



lol there are 4 bars on that block how could you not notice that when you're buying a house right there



Some music venues, such as Siberia and the Mother-in-Law Lounge, were able to obtain permits by petitioning City Council for conditional use variances on their zoning. Because of Mimi’s location, the bar is not eligible for such a variance; instead, Schmidt said, it obtained its new permit by proving it had been presenting live music for many years, essentially becoming grandfathered into eligibility.

eh that's overblown. noise complaints are up citywide but it is mostly neighbors complaining about neighbors having parties or a barking dog, not commercial venues. the complaints also aren't clustered around major venues like you would expect them to be, which makes sense because most dedicated music venues are pretty heavily sound-proofed and don't have trouble with noise complaints.

the thing that is killing the music industry is that cost of living has gone up so much that a part time job + whatever scraps the bars are paying your band isn't a viable way to make rent.

I think it is just the one. it only opened recently and the smokestacks are just the right height to deliver smoke 24/7 into the houses on the hill behind them. you couldn't design a more effective way to passive aggressively piss off your neighbors if you tried.

Noise complaints have limited what can be done at venues on Red River, expect the same for Rainey as soon as the new building is finished.

I wouldn't be surprised if the east side was next.

That too. plus the music industry dying didnt help. So we can blame SV for this one too
