  How many homeless guys can a trombone fit comfortably?
context: Like, physically?  How fucking loud is it? >
  
  Find out how much power and dB it is to push a known weight, scale up. I think the military has loudspeakers powerful enough. >
  
  They used to play classical music at the train stations so the kids didn't hang out. >
  
  It worked until Beethoven and Bach started hanging out. >
  
  A Walgren's in Albuquerque does this. I used to get my lunch across the street at the supermarket then go sit on the grass out front. I noticed a number of others doing similar. A roasted chicken thigh, fresh tortillas, and Rossini is absolutely the best. >
  
  Back in the '80s when I was skateboarding me and Friends used to go skating at a local church. They had plenty of handrails and nice wide sloping handicap ramps, perfect for skateboarding and grinding. Calling the cops on us to get us to leave didn't work, then they sprinkled gravel on all the sidewalks and ramps around the church. We brought brooms. Then they decided to loudly pipe out some  corny hillbilly sounding bluegrass gospel music to get us to leave.... it had a decent BPM to skate to. Then they decided to go CIA mode and torture us with Old Testament Bible readings by who sounded  like Ferris Bueller's school teacher, and did it at full blast.. we surrendered, we moved on to a strip mall a couple blocks over from the church >
  
  I mean, this is better than spraying them with a hose. >

  Homelessness is not a crime, but playing loud music throughout the night is.
  
  One KXAN viewer who lives in an apartment building opposite the building contacted us, saying he could also hear the opera music playing throughout the night. The viewer is not alone; the City of Austin said they received five complaints for the store since the start of 2023 when the music likely started, based on Morgan’s timeline. 
  According to Austin’s Code of Ordinance of amplified sound, a business may not operate equipment that produces a sound louder than 85 decibels, equivalent to that of a food blender, from the property line between the hours of 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. And from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m., the sound should not be audible at the property line, according to the same code. >
  
  Loitering is a crime… >
  
  Wtf is loitering? >
  
  I think it's just like hanging around a location doing nothing >
  
  
  I think it's just like hanging around a location doing nothing
  
  Depends on the state. That's legal in Tennessee.
  If you are interfering with traffic (including foot traffic), that's loitering.
  It was a trope (long ago) that disreputable looking people who just hung around doing nothing would be arrested for "loitering with intent". O. Henry used it at least once. >
  
  Depends on the city too. In NYC/SF you have the people that open doors and demand you pay them for doing so. I can see how that can intimidate some people >
  
  Back in my old city there was a 7-11 that did the same thing. It was obnoxious. I don't know how well it worked, cause it was still a hotbed for shady peeps >
  
  I wouldn't doubt it, really. >
  
  Good.  F em. >
  
  I bet this will be a law soon! >
  
  The city of Fort Lauderdale plays abian noise at 4am when clubs get out. They also put on sprinklers all over even where’s there is no grass so homeless can’t sleep. >
  
  They do it at the St John’s 7-11 as well. I always thought it was peculiar. Now I know why they do it. >
  
  Cafes blast cold to get people moving sometimes to >

  I think that the violations won't stop until substantial fines are applied.. >
  
  I know a mall owner who played loud country music at their urban/suburban centers in an effort to drive young black kids away. >
  
  If the goal is to annoy people I think Reddit can come up with a lot of music ideas that are worse than opera music. >
  
  Their speakers go to 11 >
  
  Wish there were places in the US that actually helped homeless in a way that doesn’t enable them >
  
  They used to play classical music at the train stations so the kids didn't hang out. >
  
  Nowadays there's some sort of a device that plays an irritating noise that older people can't hear. >
  
  It's called a mosquito. I supposedly am old enough it shouldn't hurt me but does. I also like opera so homeless me would absolutely get close enough to hear that shit from a comfortable distance >
  
  Homeless me would just get close and dance in the streets lol >
  
  I did many times when homeless. Dancing releases endorphins. Now that was before I was a homeless adult with a malpractice suit I didn't know I had yet. Misdiagnosis on a spinal injury that took it from treatable to worse than most like it because I kept making myself walk since "nothing is wrong with you". >
  
  Oh you were actually homeless? I thought we were just talking about what we would do in an alternate universe if we were homeless. I’m sorry you had to go through that. I hope things are better for you now. >
  
  Why would anyone fantasize about being homeless? This isn't asked in anger but genuine confusion. It is a desperate time where you are invisible unless someone is either going to try to help you which is rare or is a danger to you. Not a fun fantasy. >
  
  I never said anyone was fantasizing about being homeless. I just thought “homeless me” was supposed to mean “if I was homeless and in that scenario”. I just misunderstood what you meant, it’s not that deep. I know being homeless isn’t a fun fantasy, that would be weird. >
  
  Thank you for answering my question. I appreciate that since it's not a simple topic. I figured just asking was better than assuming the worst. I refer to my past selves like that often. Kid me, adult me. It's not caused this sort of misunderstanding before but I will keep that in mind >
  
  Oh ok well that makes sense because I refer to myself in other situations as that situation me. So that’s where the confusion came in. >
  
  A place where I live blasts baby shark all night long to keep the homeless away. >
  
  That is a bloody warcrime right there. >
  
  That part of town is crazy.  I do account management stuff for some restaurants in that part of town.  Manager told my coworker that a guy ran in the restaurant claiming he was just anal raped by two other homeless.  It’s a real problem and in a gross way I understand why the business does it. >
  
  I have had to design services in some areas so that no component is less than 5M off the ground or outside my clients building. Vandalism, people using it as a toilet, shit you probably would believe from the sounds of it. >

  Nickleback? >
  
  Imagine dragons. >
  
  Careful. You’re going to accidentally push me to become homeless. >
  
  They do this at a bank here to dissuade the homeless.  It is LOUD. >

  Wouldn't roasted magpie thigh be more appropriate? >
  
  he said Albuquerque, not Aberdeen! that is the wrong continent to find magpies! >
  
  Australian magpies are called that because they kind of look like other birds also called magpies >

  ​
  When I was a kid the local council, police, and school headmaster got together an agreed to build skate ramps for us (my dad was one of the volunteers). 
  It was also made very clear to us that if we decided to skate anywhere else, we would be beaten like a drum. Yes that also included by Dad :D >
  
  Hah, child abuse! >
  
  Carrot - They built us skate ramps. 
  Stick - If we skated anywhere else they kicked our arse. 
  Seemed like a fair deal to us :D >
  
  Yes, adults hitting children when things don't go their way is a very fair and mature deal /s >
  
  Do you know what insufferable means? >
  
  They do it at the St John’s 7-11 as well. I always thought it was peculiar. Now I know why they do it. >

  Time to say goodbye. >

  West Palm started doing something like this near the waterfront.  The benches had bars added so people couldn’t sleep, and there is a park where they started playing music 
  The bridge to go to palm beach island (which is just outside of the downtown waterfront) has 9-10 cameras.  Whenever the homeless people cross the bridge, the Palm Beach police pick them up, drive them back to the mainland (West Palm) so that they’re out of their jurisdiction, and so that the island locals don’t complain >
  
  The police don't enforce noise ordinances anyway. Just ask a cop when was the last time he checked a Harley for Legal Pipes. >
  
  One of the weird things about Australia is that the #1 reason people call the police is noise. >
  
  This has been happening at a couple places in Portland for a while >
  
  Every 7/11 in San Diego that is near a large homeless population does this.
  It is fucking annoying when your eating next door and here the loudest opera music. >
  
  I think the bigger story IS ALL THIS HATE FOR MY MANS BACH AND EM!!!
  Should read: Homeless and community come together to APPRECIATE classical music and Opera >

  In the land of the free it is >
  
  Maybe you missed the memo where it says "you're free to do what your are told". >

  Ha, did you catch that news interview? In the vid they mentioned a cathedral that has sprinklers to shooshoo away the homeless. But for some weird reason no one bashing on Mr God >
  
  The homeless sleep along train tracks, no way opera bothers them at any volume
