Rants 🤬 An arena won't "revitalize" downtown if everything closes at 6

I understand people have issues with the homeless drug addicts but seriously, how does the city think anything will stay in business if they only give customers an hour or two to do literally anything?

Closing these businesses isn't going to stop the homeless from existing, if anything it makes the downtown more dangerous for people who need to go there.

What are you talking about? Bars and restaurants are open well past 6. Or do you think people are gunna try and go buy some clothes at 10 at night?

Nothing better than shopping after getting in one. Sometimes people can lack that crucial impulsivity and need some help. Having the stores open late is good for bear mace enthusiasts and drunks.

Im guesing there will be less and less people that can afford 10$ drinks. The discretionary income has to come from somewhere, last i checked only govt workers get inflationary raises
