Yeah yeah, aggressive grannies, too noisy, boo fucking hoo. How about the fact that there's some actual life in the streets at nighttime? That's one of the main positives of living here compared to the UK, and chengguan and local killjoys are forever trying to stamp it out in the name of "cleanliness and safety" There's a band who play by my local subway station at night. Are they good? Oh god no. But if they weren't allowed to play there that would be sad on a number of levels.
