Detroit strip clubs
Did the do-gooders ever consider the dancers who will be fired?

Since Katrina, the city "rebuilding" has been pushed by the very "do gooders" VM abhors. These "civic leaders" are politically "progressive" (in this case describing government controls over everything) and socially, oppressively structured (notice how I avoided Liberal and conservative here - because NOLA politics ain't national and NOLA is not about Repubs, Demos, bathroom servers or Casino bankruptcies). What is going on is these "do gooders" trying to remake NOLA into a Disney theme park "family" version of New Orleans.
Strip clubs there are "no smoking" now and city inspectors enforce a number of new ordinances that regulate lighting, dancer wardrobes, lap dance rooms, bathrooms and even - in some cases - contact between customer and dancer. It is killing the money dancers used to make and forcing them to seek other employment - or relocate.
But that's OK, because the "do gooders" are killing a lot of other businesses - especially the tourist industry. New Orleans looks like a ghost town now, and I doubt that will change much over the next decade. I doubt the NOLA "revival" as a family friendly place will succeed like Vegas.
I have to live with strip club rules in a similar vein (do gooder) and most days I think I should just get an escort have have her give me nude LDs in a hotel room, and skip the club.
