I have some sympathy for people being kept up late at night be noise, although it seems like there are other, more direct ways to deal with that (i.e. cracking down on the people being too loud).

The rest of it seems like another form of NIMBYism though.

But you can't crack down on the people being too loud. In two days they'll be gone, replaced by brand new loud people.

I don't think this is NIMBYism at all. People have a reasonable expectation that the residential area they live in will be treated as a residential area and not a business.
