Why even pretend city has noise law?
In light of a long-standing history of refusal and inability to enforce the noise ordinance of the city of Greensboro (News & Record, Jan. 23, 1998, "City Council accused of ignoring noise ordinance enforcement," other related articles and also from frequent and continuing personal experiences), I would like to call for a repeal of the ordinance.
The recent pledge to enforce the noise ordinance in High Point seems to be very effective in curbing overly loud noise and disturbances from clubs and car stereos.
However, the noise ordinance in Greensboro has such vague and subjective language it is not even considered when residents ask or even demand enforcement here in Greensboro.
Since the city of Greensboro seems to have no interest or ability to enforce the ordinance currently written, the noise ordinance needs to be removed from the books.
Make it official and remove the fantasies and unreasonable expectations of Greensboro residents for the quiet and peaceful use of their own property.
