- gunapologist99 3y agoThe article does mention that, but only in passing! I'm surprised they didn't dig more into it, since the most vocal opponents to more competition would probably be existing businesses!

Both groups can exist at once without astroturfing! A new car wash recently popped up on the main road near my house, and it has definitely had a substantial negative impact on the traffic patterns surrounding it. Basically every time I go that way I have to maneuver around people clogging up the road waiting to turn into it. It's not enough to cause me any real pain, but it's definitely enough to make me feel less than kindly towards the proliferation.
