The New York Association of Adult Entertainment Establishments New York Association of Adult Entertainment Establishments (NYAEE) causes to act in a legal suit against the Department of City Planning. Background and Facts. In this dispute, the Adult Establishment has been restricted in the city of New York, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Staten Island: I. Adult establishments, new and old are barred from certain districts that are zoned for manufacturing and commercial use but also permit residential development. II. Adult establishments must locate 500 feet from schools, houses of worship, day care centers. III. No more than one adult establishment in a zoning area. IV. Adult establishment can have no more than 10,000 square feet of floor area and cellar space. V. Adult establishments must conform or terminate within a year. These regulations are set forth by the New York Department of City Planning for the following reasons: decrease property values of surrounding business and residents, increase in crime, substantial loss of business because of loss in investments and decline in economic and pedestrian activities. Issues. The controversies in the dispute involving the interests of the city versus the interests of the Adult Entertainment enterprises are three-fold. First, in the process of zoning property boundaries, the government must avoid a regulating factor that allows a commercial business to have no other competition. A monopoly is an illegal economic entity in our free-market system. If only one adult establishment can be present in a zoning area, it is then a restriction of the competitive market where there can not be a choice for the consumer. This is the weakest of the three argu... ... middle of paper ... ...inment industry, as well they must, to have such an enormous variety of successful departments areas of concern, the customers would have to walk into the shops unless they are all drive-thru buildings. Therefore, the must be some type of pedestrian activity. It is of the recommendation of this lawyer that the action of the Department of City Planning in regulating the properties of the NYAEE owners has violated the vested rights of private property ownership. The NYAEE property owners affected by the regulations should file a law suit against the city for the compensation of the property acquired by the government regulations.

In the article Applebee’s was quoted saying that 14.1 percent of their sales came from alcoholic beverages. That is all most a 1/4 of their gross profit. That can help a restaurant either succeed or fail. The restaurants do not want to take that chance if they can not sell liquor. The article says they want family restaurants like Applebee’s to buy the licenses. The restaurants know there would be some restrictions on the license, such as, no sales after midnight and so fourth. But how many families go out to eat at midnight? The restrictions a reasonable ones. The towns want the restaurants to move in and stop the slumping area from going down any more. The idea that only restaurants having the licenses is a good one. If the town gave the licenses to any business,11 bars could move in. It seems that, the more bars there are in one location, the more problems the towns face. People are there all day and night drinking.
Situated on the Monongahela River is the neighborhood of Southside Flats. Within it lays the entertainment hub of Pittsburgh. Numerous bars and nightspots line the main thoroughfare of E Carson St. The early history of the neighborhood saw it as a main point for industry with its proximity to the river and railway stations. At the end of the nineteenth century, the neighborhood would boast a major steelworks factory that employed a sizable portion of the residents of Southside Flats. Many of these residents emigrated from the countries of Eastern Europe and incorporated many of their traditions into the area and the neighboring Southside Slopes. This style of life would last until the early 1980s when the South Side Local Development Company was formed and the steel plant shut down. The area was absent of a major employer until the City of Pittsburgh Urban and Redevelopment Authority (URA) bought the land once occupied by the steel plant in 1993. The URA bought the land with money they borrowed from a developer that eventually led to the construction of the SouthSide Works. The complex officially opened in 2004 brought many national retailers to the Pittsburgh area. The construction of the SouthSide Works is one example of how cities have had to cope with the deindustrialization that has taken place in this country over the past 30 years. The emergence of Southside Flats as the hotspot of Pittsburgh for nightlife and shopping has caused problems for the local residents. Over the past years, there has been an increasing riff between the local residents and the patrons of the area’s bars and nightclubs. This riff grew to such an extent that the Pittsburgh police began instituting tight reg...

The issue seemingly had little to do with immigration itself, and more to do with whether or not the state had the authority to impose these taxes, which was seen by congress as an attempt to undermine their authority. The court therefore found that "The laws which govern the right to land passengers in the United States from other countries ought to be the same in New York, Boston, New Orleans, and San Francisco," (Henderson v. Mayor of City of New York 1875) Cannato notes that “ On its face, the case seemed to revolve around the government 's taxing power, not the authority to regulate immigration, but the Court used the occasion to pronounce its disapproval of the lack of uniformity in immigration rules...A rapidly industrializing nation experiencing a huge wave of immigration could no longer leave the question of who was eligible to enter its territory up to individual states; evaluating people entering the ports of New York or Boston was no longer a matter of merely local concern.” (Cannato 2012) Thus, Federal control was born not out of constitutional design, but the need for a uniform
She also introducing new urban building standards. This this article she talks about, the idea some people have of tearing it down and rebuilding. She also talks about ideas people have about some parts of towns. In Boston, she talks about the area of North End, and the change that it was over gone. During her second visit to this area, she discovered that it had changed. She talked to other about it, although the statistic were higher than the city, the people still saw it as a slum. They felt that they needed to tear it down in order to build something better. This leads to the conclusion that the urban planners to do understand that the people of the city need. They have ideas that were developed years ago that they are still using. These ideas do not take account what the people want. The author also introducing new ideas of a perfect city to live in and what it would look like. The idea of a garden city was introduced. This city would be built around a park. Although the new ideas sounded great they could not be put into place today. The idea of a Garden City is something that sounds nice, but it is not possible in society today. Today a city should reflect economic status, and in order to achieve this the city should be big, and convey an image of power. A city that has aspects of nature in it would not convey that image. That upkeep of a city of that kind would also be difficult. The do understand the author's point of view. The planners often times do not take into account the desires of the people. The town that I grow up in want to become more urbanized. In order to do this, they are building a large shopping center. This shopping center is located in the canyon rim. This canyon rim has been important the people for many years. We come to the area to walk, what bass jumpers, and enjoy the scenic views. This new shopping center took away this area. Many of the people
In May of 2012 Mayor Bloomberg announced his portion cap rule proposal (Renwick, 2013). This proposal would ban the sale of sweet and sugary beverages that are over sixteen ounces in size. This ban would affect movie theaters, restaurants, street vendors, and any other commercial entity that is regulated by the New York City health department (Yee, 2013). This proposal is commonly referred to as the New York City Soda Ban.

Although rent control is a controversial topic and many economists have argued with its inefficient outcome, many cities in the United States such as New York City and San Francisco still hold this kind of law or ordinances in their systems. Why these big cities do not want to abolish rent control and is that rent control really does harms more than goods? Focus on rent control in San Francisco, and compared to New York City, this essay tried to find the changes and the revises of rent control.
This includes stores that sell pornographic material. Instead, these magazines and other pornographic materials should be kept separately in a private room, where you must be an adult to enter and purchase materials. Pornographic material that is kept privately either to be sold or to be viewed or used in the privacy of one's home, should not be banned. I see absolutely no reason why a person should not be allowed to view pornographic material in the privacy of their own home.Some people may argue with me and say that the Harm Principle should be invoked by the government. They may say that pornography increases the likelihood of harm. And I somewhat agree.
According to searched data, there were 57 permanent bans, 16 temporary bans and 23 other type of restrictions. Out of all these 100 policies used, 68 policies were passed and 32 did not pass. There were 5 policies out of these 68, which were later excluded and repealed by the courts. There were many reasons for repealing these policies but common reason was to protect aesthetics of the community. The following table published in this article lists the businesses, their types, restrictions and
Also, the owners of restaurants and bars believe that it violated their property rights. Smokers believe that they have the right to smoke wherever and whenever they want. When Blasko interviewed Zultanski, he or she said, “America is all about freedom of choice, but the government is trying to take away the smokers’ rights.” In one way, it does go against their personal freedom, but this will protect the rights of others. Smokers have the freedom to smoke in their own houses whenever they want, but they cannot take away the rights of others to be healthy. Restaurant and bar owners believe it is their own property, so they should be able decide if smoking should be banned in their own property or not. Yes, it is their own property, but it is also a place to provide services for everyone. Restaurants and bars need to be sanitary; therefore, it should not be a place with bad odor lingering around it. In addition, smoking in restaurants and bars can cause fire in the place, because the furniture can easily catch on fire. Ban smoking in all indoor and outdoor public places does not go against personal freedom and property rights; it even ensures the citizens to have a health and safe society to live
