NY Daily News:

^"An appeals court gave the city a green light yesterday to shut down strip clubs and other X-rated businesses operating outside adults-only zones.

The ruling could force 100 flesh meccas out of residential and tourist neighborhoods, and into industrial areas such as the far West Side of Manhattan.

"The only place in Manhattan that you will have adult establishments is surrounding Jets stadium," said Mark Alonso, a lawyer for Ten's Cabaret on E. 21st St.

Now, I could be wrong here, but it seems to me that when you define an "adults only area," you'll have a huge concentration of "adults only" stores and clubs concentrated strongly in that area, which means that walking through there will end up like walking through the red light district of Amsterdam. Guys trying to sell you drugs every step you take, hookers lined up along the sidewalks (though in Amsterdam they are in windowed rooms with red lights, hence the name).

Not that I have a problem with an area of NYC being just covered in smut, but I think that when the people realize what they've done, they'll decide they'd rather have their smut evenly distributed rather than concentrated. Then again, fundamentalism knows no logic.
