If you are that adamant about peace and quiet, why are you living right on one of the busiest squares in town? I like quiet, too, just not always at the same times as you. And, I moved to a quiet street. To be fair, when you move into a place based on the rules in existence there, there is an expectation that they won't change capriciously.

A change that made Davis Square into a place where nobody wanted to live, would be a loss. Having good people living there is a part of that liveliness we're all talking about.

Maybe some of the concerns that have been raised, like taxis and people making noise, could be addressed individually.
