How is limiting the # of licenses a "bad" thing?
I don't necessarily think limiting the licenses is a bad thing, but i hate hearing stories about $300,000 license transfers. There has got to be a better system whereby the city collects the cash, not the private party who holds the license (this is how i understand it anyways--someone please correct me if i am wrong.)
Maybe make the license tied to an individual business, and if it fails, then the license is voided. Then, a new party can apply for a license and pay the city a cheaper amount than it would cost to acquire one from a private party.
This makes the cost of doing business cheaper, and ensures that there are no licenses being wasted a la lyons group.
