Yea, Al Capone would be so much better for the neighborhood. Its people like you that push people like me away. I am 26, just started my own business, and prefer to buy and live in an area where I can walk to the corner and drink during a game and not have to worry about driving home and putting your little precious (If you have 1) in danger. The bars attrack young professionals like me because we don't want to live in the suburbs and drive. ANy family could have bought the house i did BUT THEY DIDN'T. I am sick and tired of people trying to change the whole neighborhood because a few morons have to scream on their way home from the bar. You have a problem with the idiots, take it out on them. Don't try to prevent a place where neighbors can meet each other in a comfortable atmosphere just because of a few morons every now again. yea I get sick and tired of the idiots that walk up my street too, and I usually confront them and say something to them. We are not the suburbs, if you want that, move.
Pick up a history book and read what prohibition did to neighborhoods in Chicago and make that genius statement again.

Many
social problems have been attributed to the Prohibition era. A profitable, often violent, black market for alcohol flourished.
Racketeering happened when powerful gangs corrupted law enforcement agencies. Stronger liquor surged in popularity because its potency made it more profitable to smuggle. The cost of enforcing Prohibition was high, and the lack of tax revenues on alcohol (some $500 million annually nationwide) affected government coffers. When repeal of Prohibition occurred in 1933,
organized crime lost nearly all of its
black market alcohol profits in most states (states still had the right to enforce their own laws concerning alcohol consumption), because of competition with low-priced alcohol sales at legal liquor stores.
Yea that sounds so much better than a few loud drunks. You my friend are a grade A moron.
