Your comment on the blasting music reminded me of the ongoing discussion of how noise pollution ordinances are racist.

I live in the country. My nearest neighbor has Musica Mexicana parties. The sound carries a full mile. Fortunately, the parties are only twice a year.

My friend in town isn't so lucky. The police tell her it's only noise pollution if you can hear it inside your house with the windows closed, effectively telling her that she can only enjoy her backyard when her neighbors are out of town.
