The Sisters vs. The Strippers: Club Loses Liquor License

  I'm not sure that the nuns believe the exact same thing as the priest so I'm not sure about hypocrisy, but I definitely think using zoning like this is non-brilliant.
  
  I can understand limiting the outside appearance of businesses, since a seedy looking strip club has the potential to interfere with nearby businesses. Everybody's rights have limits when they interfere with other people's rights.
  
  However, I have never liked the idea that churches and convents have this special status where they can determine what goes on near their property. To be fair it isn't clear to me from the article whether there was some mistake and the club actually sat on the property line. If so the club is partially on their property and they should have power in that case.
  
  But if it is the case that the club is simply next door then the nuns shouldn't have the right to shut them down.

  I have lived in my apartment for four years now, smoke weed all the time, no one has ever complained (although one neighbor even complimented the smell it will occassionally leave in the hallway).
  
  My best friend just moved into a similar apartment complex as mine in a similarly upper class city. She got a notice of "someone" complaining about weed within a week or so of moving in. Two nuns live right next to her. Hm... (they are the main suspects!)
  
  You'd think nuns would mind their own business and just be off doing "god's work" at a charity somewhere...
