Number of clubs increasing or decreasing

Breathe, breathe in the air
Overall in the U.S. are club numbers on the increase or are they in decline? Any states bucking the trend?
What effect, if any, is this having on entertainment value?

1) Takes a heck of a lot of money
2) SCs have a bad reputation (for many non-clubbers) and many municipalites or it's constituents do not want those kinds of businesses so local governments tend not to award permits for new clubs.
3) Because of #2 above (municipalities, constituents) - local governments are willing to "tolerate" existing clubs but not grant new permits for new clubs in order not to add to the total # of clubs (thus a new club can exist if it replaces a previous or closed club).
4) Even existing clubs do not want new clubs b/c of the competition - some times existing clubs will petition local governments not to grant new club permits in order to avoid the competition.
This is not my opinion, just what I read - but it makes sense.
