Cleveland to create stripper district?

by Roberta Ferguson

Per WDTN:

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson is proposing an adult-entertainment district for the city.

Developer Scott Wolstein is negotiating with property owners to buy land in a Cleveland area known as the Flats — including the building that houses the Hustler Club.

It’s interesting that the mayor thinks we need an adult entertainment district. I don’t have a problem with this at all, but that’s my opinion.

The city sees his project as vital to upgrade an area considered blighted.

Wikipedia defines blight as:

“a condition of property or the uses of property in parts of a city, town, or neighborhood that are detrimental to the physical, social, and/or economic well-being of a community. It can include abandoned buildings or those severely neglected by their owners, vacant lots full of rubble and waste, or dangerous and/or illegal uses such as crack houses.”

So would be a safe assumption that the mayor thinks the Flats have crack houses or is full of dangerous waste?

    For a mayor to purposely make an area for this is just morally wrong. Sorry!
