Unfortunately, Austin is utterly rife with nimbyism, and even worse, whatever the inverse of it is: new people moving into fancy apartments downtown, and then being angry that they hear the loud music so late at night, from the venues that were there way before them! Retroactive nimby? The venues that have survived are still good, but so so many were lost to residential development. Don't even get me started!
It was a few years ago, but even the nationally recognized, Beard-award winning bbq darling Franklin BBQ was going to be affected by smoke ordinances, because the new development that cropped up around it, and the existence of lots of bbq smoke. Not sure what came of it, but people were quite vocal.
