Lavender Spa Thread Gone?

[Pay2Play]

I should have summarized the article for everyone:

Shutting down spas is not about criminal gangs or sex trafficking. It’s not about making things safer for women. It’s about controlling what adults can consensually do in private. It’s absolutely puritanical bullshit.

Then there should be a zone for them operate.

I agree. And I feel that where they are now seems appropriate. Massage parlours are definitely safer for the city than drinking.

I think they through market demand established the zones where to operate.

There's an article about the 2003/2004 crackdown. Interesting read:

Massage parlours hard to rub out

Sex sells.

The article mentions 10 spas on EBC but there's got to be closer to 20 today, and way more if you include the surrounding streets


Damn, if that's the case and a similar 'clean up' is done now then it could be years before things get back to normal

On the other hand, the number of spas in the area seem to have exploded over the last few years, so I wouldn't exactly call the current situation 'normal'

There were way more than 10. I may including a wider area as I'm talking about surrounding streets as well.

If the city had limited the amount of licenses in the first place, it wouldn’t have become such an epidemic to attract attention from the general public
Also as most of these places are in industrial condo units, use may be controlled by the condo corp at least to limit the amount of places that can open
