I have been wondering if the Westin Hotel and the 5th & Brazos development are being, (or are required to be) built with extra sound insulation. I have seen in other place where existing entertainment districts have been hurt with new "night time occupied" development. Just a few complaints are enough for the city to over-react to the previously allowed night time serenade. The clubs have been here for decades now. New development should not be allowed to have owners/guests/residents voices over speak the existing night time establishments.
