After reading the NYT article it doesn't look like they're contemplating removing the law that restricts the number of licenses a business can hold, which is what keeps TJs and Costco from selling their booze in more than 2 stores in the state. Bah Humbug!

Big difference between Capitalism and 'rent seeking', though the rent seekers spend a lot of effort trying to blur it.
My favorite podcast episode ever is 2 academic Libertarians arguing about whether Capitalism is inevitably corrupt and devolves into crony capitalism, and after an hour they basically gave up and conceded. They said any corporation that grows large enough reaches a point where the next dollar is better invested in "rent seeking", (e.g. buying influence, market protection and subsidies), rather than just growing their business. Any CEO who didn't do it would be replaced by the shareholders, or the company would be bought by investors recognizing it was "underperforming". Of course being Libertarians, their only solution is having a government so small that it can't hand out goodies. https://www.econtalk.org/michael-munger-on-crony-capitalism/

It does really well. Has been open for about 7yrs and the only game in Hudson county. There is no range only hitting cage and chipping/putting greens. 9 holes with 5 different tee boxes for each hole.

Tell me where this is so I can go over and walk on it. I need a vacation.

The pinnacle for me was when Talde's bouncer dragged a patron into my vestibule to punish him on premises. While I didn't appreciate having my mailbox destroyed, I appreciated his vigorous handling of the situation.

It should be fine for most of the time until it may not. One night I was walking to Duncan avenue at McGinley square from the path around 12ish in the night. I was stopped by 5 heavily built and drunk dudes who asked me for money. I got super tense and gave them whatever I had.
I don't think I was mugged but definitely looked like they'd have hurt me if I didn't give them money. This was 5 years ago btw. Not sure how the area is currently. I vacated from that area within a few weeks.

Right at the corner of 440 and Duncan. Skyway Golf (because of Pulaski Skyway). Drive down Duncan past the Gulf station. The entrance is down further on Duncan going west. I think k it's only 9 holes.

I go there often because there are no other alternatives in the area. That place is filthy and they only have ONE water fountain for the entire gym. Disgusting.

They’ll sure react faster if that was someone’s broken leg instead of a car.

Its fine enough, I've been making that same walk pretty late at night and its pretty quiet. Stay aware of your surroundings and you'll be fine.

Both me and my gf have been making that walk at night for some time now and no problems - particularly coming home from work, there's generally always a decent amount of people around + tons of PA cops at Journal Square (for whatever that's worth). Very late at night it can get a bit empty on weeknights, but there's virtually always cabs/Uber available if you're feeling sketched (keep cash for cabs since it's a short ride).

Across the street need to go down Duncan Ave towards the truck depots. Can’t miss the nets.

It's fine. You should always be aware of your surrondings but I've lived in the area for over 20 years and you are far, far likelier to be harmed by a loved one than a stranger. Use some common sense and you will be fine.

Yeah that makes sense. I'm new to owning cars myself so in general you want to disclose any major issues/body shop rework to the next buyer/owner.

Several alligators have been spotted in the area, and some sidewalks are heavily landmined. It's not a very safe area for humans to inhabit.

Most of the rest stops have an "I heart NY State" shop where you can buy maple syrup, wine, ect. They also schedule local farmers to table and offer stuff like apples and pies. It's just such a surround of support & promotion.
