-- 24-hour district in danger
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »
the downtown club owners should team up and buy an out of the way corporate park and turn it into a new haven.
Bottom line is that the city used the clubs and their owners to help build up a part of this city that was going nowhere fast. Now that the city has improved the area and also cashed in by generating revenues from taxes, etc that were levied on the clubs, they are about to sell out to the highest bidders - the condos.
The fact of the matter is a lot of those condo units will be purchased by out of towners, tourists, etc for their winter/vacation homes. Meanwhile people from Miami who put money into the clubs, who work in and rely on income from the clubs, and who party in the clubs (outsiders included) will all get fucked because the condos paid off the right politicians so that tourists from Europe, sports and other stars/celebs looking for a vacation condo can have their way. Studies have already shown that they are building more condo units than we have people down here. Supply is gretaer than demand. So it's clear it's being done to cater to tourists, and they cannot have a bunch of clubbers running around now can they. 
They have no basis to complain because they knew the clubs were there when they started building the condos right there. Will they die if on Fridays and Saturdays we have afterhours??? If so, don't buy a condo here.
This is corruption at its peak. You think they told any of the club owners that they would be fucked in a couple of years when they took their money??? Give me a break, I bet they guaranteed the opposite. When you watch the news and hear that millions of dollars are missing from different county and city programs here in Dade county you think nothing of it. Guess what, those same people are the ones that would sell their mothers to the condos C.O.D., and are now doing it. For example there was a low income home fund scandal where over $100 million that was supposed to go to low income housing resulted in little if anything being built, and when they went to the county/city and mayors they had no answers at all. If they will fuck the poor, imagine what they will do to club owners and club-goers. No vaseline included.
The only options we have are to enjoy the 24-hour district while we have it, and let these politicians know how we feel. They will have to hold hearings before they do anything with the district, and voting against any commissioners, mayors, etc that want to or vote to get rid of the district is a simple way to get back at them.
On a side note, it would be fun to see LP go to war with the condo owners. I see construction delays in their future.

the clubgoers in that area probably make the area SAFER than the cracked out bums living on the streets. get rid of them, not respectable citizens who like to party on the weekends.

Lewis will throw down the lawyers and he will domimate.Shut every fuckin club in Miami and keep Space 24 hour liqour license i will be perfectly happy..There are a couple of really good clubs in Miami but anyone can tell you that the people is what makes the party,the people is what makes the music, its the reaction.When you wake up and you find yourself there with a thousand crazy people like u watching the sun rise while listening to your favorite dj.It doesnt get alot better.If the 24 hour liqour licence goes down so will Space and so will confrence.
ok so i spoke to my beverage law teacher at school, yes im a hospitality major, and hes a lawyer specializing in alcoholic licensing and things of that sort. it just so happens his firm represents space and goldrush. i asked him about the 24 hour zone and he told me he was at the city meeting where it was brought up. he mentioned it wouldnt be pretty and they could be facing a 3am closing time. when i asked about the relocation of the 24 hour zone he said its not likely but he didnt really elaborate on that. is it just me or does this look really bad for the nightlife here?
i guess its time miami goes hardcore.. no liquor sells.
I dont give a fuck .. I saw this coming for awhile .. And as far as terrace goes.. Its the same shit over and over again. No progg or trance up there so why should i care ? Im glad we have our locals and our house parties

The problem is they start by taking the terrace due to noise. Then they move the closing times to earlier and earlier for another BS reason, and then before you know it they go after the whole downtown entertainment district altogether until it's gone. And no matter what you say, downtown is 10000000000000 times better then the beach.

Man, its hard to realize and fall into reality that this is all happening. I always tought of the clubs evolving and making that district way better and more competitive.. where we would see bunch of clubs rise and fall. They were one biiig chunk of entertainment to one of the best party's in the world during Conference with one of the sickest, more varied line-ups. Now we are seen all this coming to a downfall. Its sad.. it really is.
When we talk terms of electronic music.. once rave parties were killed, Clubs cashed into bringing the DJ's.
Now this is one killer move to DJ culture, electronic music culture, and clubber's culture all together. Lets hope for the best!
Well if this goes into effect, we still have our lovely house parties

i heard from a friend that all those people who bought those condos signed a disclosure agreement. basically the disclosure stated that they were aware that they were buying into the entertainment district, which includes AA arena, clubs, etc. dont know if this will hold up.
No doubt the builders knew about the district when they were building the condos and purchasers knew when they bought units. You cannot miss it because otherwise that area would have been tumbleweeds. The condos and unit owners are not in any position to complain. Are they going to ask to close down the expressway because the cars, motorcycles, and trucks driving on the expressway are too loud??? What about the arena and bicentennial park, should they close so the condo owners can have 100% peace and quiet on their thrones?
The condo builders and owners complaining is the equivalent of someone buying land right next to the airport and then trying to get the airport shut down because the planes make too much noise. Ridiculous. And isn't it interesting how they waited until after the Metropolis and other shootings to turn up the heat and raise 'noise' laws to try and shut down the 24-hr district. Unfortunately clubs and entertainment districts do not make sympathetic figures and are easy targets for these types of political witchhunts. I hope LP, Opium group and company can all work together to quash this, because if the 24-hr district goes that will not be the last thing they target.
I only have one thing to say about this matter.
Saleen's a fag. Always was, always will be.
Fuck you, prick!
Have a nice day!

whoa whoaa
yeah that definitely sucks to hear... i might cry
