Sure, and I think actionable policy and district overlays make sense in certain areas, but the reason lots of these places existed we're because the areas were low rise and under-developed. No one wants a punk bar in the first floor of their condo building and it's pretty decidedly un-punk to boot.
I'm all for protecting districts that have historic value (dirty 6th, red river, warehouse, south congress, maybe even West 6th) but forcing music venues to exist is how you get little Italy
