I'm a bit surprised that so many people are taking this position.
I like outdoor music, but I would not want to live across the street from a venue. Why doesn't the city find a more appropriate location that isn't next to any residential buildings?

If you live that close to the main streets of Central Square, you're near bars, loud trucks, and all sorts of other loud stuff. Starlight events always ended by 9pm, and it was hardly ever the loudest thing happening in Central Square on any particular day. It makes no sense whatsoever to shut it down. Better to vote to shut down Mass Ave, outlaw construction, and close all the businesses, if you want quiet. It's just inane beyond all belief.

Just a ridiculous take with absurd comparisons

That's not my experience. When I've been on Bishop Allen at night, there's no noise nearly as disruptive as an amplified concert.
There might be fewer people disrupted by this than attending the concerts, but one purpose of the law is to protect the needs of minorities.
Are you interested in finding a solution, or just rhetoric? It would be much easier to relocate the venue than to close Mass Ave and all the businesses in Central.

I used to live on Bishop Allen and would regularly get woken up at 2am on a weeknight by mentally ill people screaming at the top of their lungs

Clearly a justification for zoning the area for more outdoor nighttime noise.

Same. Although unfortunate that it has be be closed, I think the concerns of those affected by the noise are very valid as well.
