Re: Your thoughts on adult businesses
I think if something is offensive... don't buy it. If a store starts up, there is obviously a market for it. Starting a business is hard, especially if you need investments from banks or VC's. You have to prove there is a market for it. The people wanting to shut the place down are banking on the fact that people who use that stuff aren't going to be as adament about keeping it open as they are about shutting it down.
We don't need the government babysitting us. This reminds me of that lawmaker in NYC wanting to ban people from listening to iPods while crossing the street all because one idiot got creamed while jammin' out to some tunes.
My feelings are that the people who want to control adult-oriented businesses are bored as hell and probably have sex once every 2 years in only the missionary position. |

All kidding (and kid creating aside) I don't like the knee jerk reaction of some of these people that want regulate what can or cannot be in certain areas like that.
Granted, the city people are able to set broad guidelines for what kinds of people can occupy a certain space. Whether it be zoned residential, multi-family, single family, etc. So long as there are no bars or adult establishments within a certain radius of schools/churches or ehatever, then why would it be an issue.
Granted, there are some adult establishments (posing as spas or massage parlours0 that need to be shut down due to illegal activities going on there. As I recall there was a big todo about that recently. But if you're going to go after something, go after establishments like that.
Adult novelty shops and strip clubs? We already have too much in the way of laws governing them as it is. We don't need anymore.
