This neighborhood has been home to the students of UT for decades. With all the growth that West Campus has seen in only the last few years this law can jeapordize the growth for these properties. Because it's students who's homes this will be.

I strongly believe this is hurting West Campus and it's development as a top tier young fauly living area.

Before policies restricting West Campus members’ freedom of expression are enforced, authorities should focus efforts on dealing with the increasing number of loiterers in West Campus and how their presence has negatively affected not only the quality of public sanitation, but also the daily lives of West Campus residents who are continuously pestered by panhandling loiterers.

Every great band starts off small. They get small gigs and their name spreads around. Every coming-up band loves getting a gig at a party. Parties reach a different demographic than bars or restaurants. The audience and performer usually have a more intimate connection at a party. Party gigs are a very important part to a city's music scene. Austin is the "Live Music Capitol of the World," and West Campus plays a huge role in the local Austin music scene. Taking that away from us musicians does not just effect some college kids trying to drink, it would be a huge blow to the Austin music scene, which is probably the strongest part of Austin culture as a whole. Every single person who moves to West Campus is fair-warned about the noise. That's why I have a place in North Campus. If someone's upset that their neighbors are enjoying live music, that's their fault for moving to West Campus in the first place. We shouldn't just change the rules for them because they made a bad decision. If this ordinance actually goes into action, it will be a great tragedy for Austin music, and for UT students. If you can't stand the sound of live music, then maybe Austin for you.

West campus is no longer the same place it was when it was initially formed. Times, people, and culture have changed, therefore law should accordingly change. UT fraternities are a part of what has made Texas so great, and maintaining an out-of-date ordinance will be a real blow to our tradition.

Love entertainment has been a staple of events occurring in West Campus for decades. In perspective these events are only a small fraction of the year, and only a few hours out of the days. These events in West Campus are what has made the University of Texas so great, recognizable, unique and attractive to all the students attending and aspiring to attend this amazing University. Thank You.

How exactly are you planning to ban live music in the "Live Music Capitol of the World"? Let us be young while we still have the chance. West Campus is not a place for people to settle down with their families, it is a place for UT students to live during their time on the 40 acres.

West Campus is largely occupied by UT students. Taking away our right to enjoy our college experience to please a very very small group living in an area known to be a college area does not make any sense.
