Reply to "Nightclub Crackdown Watch, part II"

1. They're going after the low-end establishments that have less resources to combat raids and that are much more vulnerable to being shut in the face of heavy fines.

2. 40,000 cops in the city + historically low crime rate = a lot of cops with less to do, sooooo, why not start looking for something to do, like harrassing bars.

But I have to say, the EV has become overpopulated with bars/clubs, and the vast majority of 'patrons' are not from the area. If you were looking to start up a club would you think of plopping it down between three other clubs on one short block of Avenue B? Not that smart of a move to begin with, really. I'm not excusing the on again off again now on again crackdown though.
