IDIX - semi-OT

from 26Oct Boston Globe:
The City Council [Cambridge] has sided with Area 4 residents in a battle over noise. The Licensing Committee has found that Idenix Pharmaceuticals... is in violation of the city's noise ordinance between the hours of 6 and 7 PM on weekends. Noise from he buidling's rooftop equipment is the culprit. Noise from the the building's rooftop equipment is the culprit. Idenix appealed the ruling ... citing economic hardships. But the council - which found that Idenix's stock went up almost 200 percent over the last year - went on record ...to oppose... a variance....

pathetic. Somebody in Cambridge seems to have a grudge against IDIX since the city council keeps going after them with these pissant violations. I live and work nearby and IDIX is very low on the list of local noise makers (trains, sirens, and local traffic being much worse). IDIX is one of the few aesthetically pleasing industrial structures in the area.
