Municipal tight asses.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/13/patrons_killed.php#comment-1012473 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/13/patrons_killed.php#comment-1012473 Comments Tue, 13 Feb 2007 15:04:48 -0500 <p>Ed, see post 3. Those things are all already illegal. And the owners are truly negligent they will probably be sued into closing. If they are merely unlucky that some bad eggs cause problems it hardly seems fair to shut them down.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/13/patrons_killed.php#comment-1012437 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/13/patrons_killed.php#comment-1012437 Comments Tue, 13 Feb 2007 14:41:05 -0500 <p>Great! A wonderful reason for bars and clubs to cover up crimes that happen in their establishments and/or not report them! How lovely!</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/13/patrons_killed.php#comment-1012413 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/13/patrons_killed.php#comment-1012413 Comments Tue, 13 Feb 2007 14:26:04 -0500 <p>yeah the city has nothing to do better than to crack down on fake id's, illegal drugs, and murder... i think they have their plate filled with other stuff like planting bulbs on park avenue and union square for the spring... f*ckin tool. what makes this city a great place to live is that the city is able to to do so much at once. cracking down on clubs is a fraction of issues the city is already dealing with. but hey, nobidy ever thinks that way, especially here. affordable housing? ever hear of brooklyn, queens, staten island, and the bronx? or how about manhattan on 101 and 1st ave? on lenox ave? or parts of the lower east side? perhaps battery park city (still lower than the rest of city after 9/11)...</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/13/patrons_killed.php#comment-1012337 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/13/patrons_killed.php#comment-1012337 Comments Tue, 13 Feb 2007 13:17:17 -0500 <p>What's up with the City Council lately? This is a waste of legislation. Murder is already illegal. Grand theft auto is already illegal. Drug possession is already illegal. Instead of cracking down on night clubs, they should crack down on the things they should already be cracking down on in the first place: real crime. Hell, dancing is illegal. Why are the Council writing up even more restrictions?</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/13/patrons_killed.php#comment-1012335 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/13/patrons_killed.php#comment-1012335 Comments Tue, 13 Feb 2007 13:14:41 -0500 <p>Does the city really have nothing better to do? Where is that affordable housing everyone talks about?</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/13/patrons_killed.php#comment-1012327 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/13/patrons_killed.php#comment-1012327 Comments Tue, 13 Feb 2007 13:06:40 -0500 <p>Wonder how far this would cover? That is, will it cover the sidewalk too?</p>
