This seems pretty tame, IMO. I think these folks should pick their battles. Better to have intelligent kids making noise (as they'll probably listen to you when you ask to quiet down) than to have belligerent kids who were raised with poor manners.

Yes, because when you're living in an apartment that costs $3,200/month and can't fall asleep because your neighbor is blasting nerdcore music, at least you can find solace in the fact that the noisemaker is an intelligent, well-mannered computer whiz who is apparently so intelligent and well-mannered that he doesn't recognize making lots of noise in the middle of the night is rude.
As for darting out into traffic, there's an Android app for that, right?

This never happened. What you imagine Google interns to be like and what they actually are seem to be disjoint sets. Music isn't even mentioned in either article or the Yelp review.
And I am somewhat suspect of the claim that Google interns are darting into traffic. The problem is if it happens even once by accident, you'll have residents complaining that it's an epidemic.

I was being sarcastic, perhaps poorly. I know people who work at Google, and I can assure you that they don't like listening to music. Or soaking in hot tubs. Ever. I'm not sure about jaywalking though. I'll have to ask.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but waking your neighbors up in the middle of the night definitely sounds like extremely poor manners to me. And intelligence doesn't correlate with good manners, either.

Not even the people who live there have claimed that they're being awoken in the middle of the night. It just says they use the hot tube and once someone heard someone singing.

I read in the yelp reviews that they were singing in the middle of the nights, and throwing out parties during the week.
The apartment complex should write lease violations to offenders (or Google)
