    Default Such a stupid idea...

    http://www.local6.com/news/9495693/detail.html


    Not only is a "red light district" going to make competition insane and ruin business... but could the people quoted in this article be ANY more rude? They make having strippers nearby sound like living near a leprosy camp... sheesh.

    To an extent I can't blame them. Red light districts suck! I used to shudder at having to walk on or near 42nd st until they cleared it up. You couldn't walk without being approached by pimps and the sickest seediest SC customer types you can imagine.

    I'd look at the bright side of this. At least they are allowing a location for new clubs to be built. In a lot of city and county jurisdictions anymore due to the way the zoning laws are written, you can't build a new club period, even in that out of the way industrial area.

    It's not like they are setting up camps for the strippers. They are not worried about living near strippers but strip clubs. And I can't help but think that it is valid, when passing zoning bylaws to consider issues other than stripper earning capacity.

    Anyone else ever been terrified to go to work because of the neighborhood? All this is going to do is force strippers to work in sleazy, frightening, high-crime areas and put us at increased risk.

    I think these concentrations breed seediness. I remember Boston's "combat zone" in the 1970s -- it got so bad that roving bands of hookers were mugging people. The competition that Paige mentions seems to prompt a race to the bottom in standards, extras, etc. When that starts, classier customers don't want to be in the area any more than the city planners who created the place, and it gets worse.

    I would be interested in the reaction of New York dancers to the changes there 15 years ago. My sense is that NY went the opposite direction, breaking up concentrations of clubs, and as a result may have created a climate in which expensive clubs that sell class (and some of which may actually be classy) are destination attractions.
