Capitalism wins again.
TBF, I can kinda understand people who work in the area not wanting permanent noise pollution (which if you don't enjoy the busking, is what this essentially is).
I would argue that if you work at a tourist hotspot, you know what you're going to get
I would argue that if you work in a coal mine, you know what you're going to get
See how ridiculous that sounds? Health protections are universal for a reason
No, there's a reason bubble bath sells so well in coal mine towns.
So of course banning anything that remotely resembles people having fun is the answer.
Don't put words in my mouth. I said I can understand why people working there don't want it. And why the law is on their side.
And i said it would surely be possible to find better solutions than blanket bans.
Unfortunately
