So is Albany trying to create red light districts?? I'm not a big fan of the activity being recorded, but I think these districts would be great for the local economy. Even the Mayor says it will generate revenue of upwards of $2M! I just hope the Mayor provides for free checkups for the workers and prevents independents from moving into the city's defined districts. It seems to work in the Netherlands - why not here? Preserving our Dutch heritage, no? Now if we could only get a few legal joints on the menu...

With winters like this and $100 fines for not shoveling the sidewalks, who needs red light cameras?
