Post in So who's right Coleman or Thune on 24 hr health clubs

I'm quite sensitive to the concerns about prostitution and impacts on
neighborhoods.

If we can help it, I don't think its desirable to have the reputation
of being among the most heavily-regulated cities either - though I
balance that concern with many others, like impacts on neighborhoods.
Regulation is often both necessary and good, but can also be excessive
and unnecessarily bureaucratic.

So I'm just curious if anyone's open to the idea that there's there a
middle ground that is workable?  Maybe, maybe not.  Allow me to think
aloud...

For example, all 24-hour health clubs must have at least one person
actively monitoring the centers somewhere in the City at all times,
must have a video complete monitoring of all public areas, audio
monitoring of all public areas, and must do a complete in-person
security check of each facility every 2 or 3 hours.

Again, just thinking aloud, from outside the issue.
