Impact on our community
According to the Community Defense Counsel......
In Young, the Supreme Court recognized that cities could reasonably draw the conclusion that bad things happened to the parts of town where sexually oriented businesses moved. In Renton, the Court reiterated that point, and indicated that communities were entitled to rely on experiences in other places as a basis for enacting local legislation.
One of the most comprehensive studies of the impact of sexually oriented businesses on communities was undertaken in the state of Minnesota, under the leadership of Attorney General Hubert Humphrey III, in 1989. After reviewing evidence from around the country, the Working Group on the Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses concluded that "these studies, taken together, provide compelling evidence that sexually oriented businesses are associated with high crime rates and depression of property values."
What happens inside Sexually Oriented Businesses is seemingly never contained there, but inevitably spills out into the surrounding community.
Question: Is Gentlemen's Club 10 willing to reimburse the business owners near the Arena for a 30% decrease in the value of their properties? Is Gentlemen's Club 10 willing to reimburse the residents of Wilkes-Barre Twp. for the decrease in the values of their homes? Is Gentlemen's Club 10 willing to reimburse the WB Twp. Police Department for their increased costs in fighting crime or would they rather our taxes be raised to foot that bill?
Gentlemen's Club 10 promises to be a good neighbor in Luzerne County. Good neighbors improve the value of your property, not decrease it. Good neighbors fight crime, they don't invite it. Good neighbors treat women with the utmost honor and respect, they don't degrade them. Gentlemen's Club 10 is NOT a good neighbor.
Expect a big announcement in the next few days. I can't wait to tell you.
