I am a resident of DTX. It's not the local residents as a whole, it's the weird dweebs who show up to these meetings. Dweebs have an advantage because they enjoy tracking when these meetings will happen, they enjoy going to these meetings, and they also dislike people doing other things. Meanwhile people who like to do things have to divide their time between doing things and all the energy it takes to battle dweebs.

Consider when El Jefe Tacqueria was prevented from opening until 2AM because it "may disturb students." It certainly wasn't the students, who actually live there, who stopped that from happening.
