Glasgow lost its legendary Arches venue very recently, arguably the single best clubbing venue in Scotland, due specifically to these kinds of concerns.

>I think a certain amount of "youthful exuberance" is indeed tolerated - but go too far and Thou Shalt Often Be Shut Down. Living in Boston I see the revolving music venue scene. It seems like about every ~5 years or so the well known venues close down for whatever reason (mismanagement, fallout from harassment/drug use, etc) and another one pops up to fill the void. It seems like getting shut down is a power check from the government to keep us complacent, as the next scene will appear and be just as much as a Time and Place as the one before it.
