It's a huge failure of reporting that this article contains precisely zero data about how dangerous this practice actually is is (or, alternatively, if it results in measurable harm like increased congestion or transit times.)

I'm left wondering if this is a real problem, or just a bunch of HOA types getting all bothered that people who don't look like them are behaving in an unseemly manner.

If you're going to call something "dangerous" in your headline then I would like to see at least one statistic, please.



Here's a statistic for you. 100% of my two (2) kids can't get to sleep until 10pm on Sunday nights because I live half a block from a south LA takeover intersection.

Noise pollution is a measurable harm, and some of those measurements are massive.
