This isn't the first time that newcomers have complained about Austin traditions. First there were the people who admitted they moved to the downtown for the vibe. But then complained about the loud music from the bars along Rainey Street. So.. you moved to the Live Music Capital of the World, only to complain about the live music? The city adopted a noise ordnance that kicks in at 10pm, and enforces it with SPL meters. Later, they started complaining about the smoke from the BBQ restaurants. Daily batches of BBQ get started around 3am, and to be good BBQ, are made from beef brisket smoked over a wood fire (not gas, not electric, and certainly not with "liquid smoke"). So .. you moved to a state where brisket BBQ is a second religion for people, only to complain about the smell. I believe the city figured out there was no pleasing these people, and told them to keep their windows closed if they didn't like it.
