[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 868536, member: 2189"] I thought about a strip club opening in a residential neighborhood and although possible I looked at my own neighbors to consider the odds and came away feeling very assured that even in the wildest of freed markets, no such enterprise would ever be started by any of my neighbors. For those who assert such ideas as possible, one need to question just where it is these people have choose to live? You could open a strip club in a residential neighborhood but the limitations on any real growth and longevity are very limiting. An average 3 bedroom, 2 bath house would need modifications to allow a large space and stage to exist. The kitchen could be the bar but again some mods would be required so the initial capital costs just to make a residential home work could add up. As to parking, so many cars will fit the average yard and then we're out on the street. At some point the customer is faced with parking some distance away if the joint gets crowded and then a convenience issue comes into play. As a customer, why go into a neighborhood strip club parking blocks away when I can go to a club in a commercial district with large parking lot and convenient access? But the bigger question is why would you want to open a club in a residential area with so many factors competing against you when going out to a more traffic commercial area would better suit your business longterm? Could some of the very zoning laws and license laws act as entry barriers and drive up starting costs be one culprit? If I had a long established strip bar enterprise and I wanted to limit future competition, would I find it of benefit to promote zoning and other licensing laws by the state because I'm already grandfathered into the game? Could restricting free market activity thus promote a gray or even black market activity in residential areas where both logistics and infrastructure don't support a business long term much less growing? So often, crass commercialism is blamed on some idea that a unfettered free market exists and yet more often than not the very opposite is true. Case in point is NY's Time Square.
