Does Detroit need more regulation right now? For a city that's struggling to attract people to visit/live there, is cutting off a source of income for residents and an option for visitors in the city's best interests?
- matt4077 9y agoAll governing is balancing of competing options, so any decision could be attacked by pointing at the right lobby and saying "But Detroit needs the income from Mercury Lollipop Manufacturers/Low-end tourism/The Church of the Sacrifice of Fluffy Animals". In this case, they've probably thought about and decided that almost all potential visitors will still be able to afford one of Detroit's surprisingly cheap hotels, and that the rest may not actually be the crowd you want to attract, anyway.
