The solution: leave New York. The idea of having to get permission to operate a business (unless it causes pollution, etc.) is anti-American. Don't accept such rules, and move to where that kind of nonsense doesn't happen. Vote with your feet/wallet.

- theandrewbailey 5y agoI watch Louis' channel often, but I don't recall him mentioning what his employees think (only that they exist). For all we know, they might be as fed up with NYC as Louis is.
- chias 5y agoBeing fed up with NYC is one thing. Telling your wife and kids that you know they have friends and relationships and a school they are used to that they're moving a thousand miles within the next three weeks, and you're sure your kid's best friend or your teenager's boyfriend or your wife's book club will be fantastic penpals is quite another. And that isn't even touching on family ties. I have a friend who moved to Portland recently. Ended up moving back three months later because his very young child couldn't handle not being able to spend time with his grandparents. People develop roots, and do not transplant easily on a timeframe measured in weeks.
- pdq 5y agoWatch the video from this HN story. Louis explains the exact reasons mentioned: some of his employees have families in NYC and he doesn't want to force them to move. The implication is he's going to convert NYC to a remote shop, and move the main shop out pretty soon (likely to Florida). Employees can choose to stay or to be relocated to the new location.
