Bodyrub license at Swedish Touch costs $ 8500

I recently learned that the Bodyrub license that the Swedish Touch has, the only supposedly legal bodyrub license in Vancouver, costs them $ 8,500 / year.

Now we know why Swedish Touch wants $ 130 for the room fee. Furthermore, the rent at the Touch is $ 8,000/month. Not that surprised about that; typical monthly rent for stores along Robson St is $ 12,000/month.

Madame Cleos and Platinum Club and all the others that have not been raided yet all pay standard business license fees of $ 180/year so supposedly cannot do the same level of erotic bodyrub that Swedish Touch can do. Go figure.

A bodyrub license in Burnaby, Richmond and Surrey costs $ 3,000/year. In Coquitlam it's $ 5,000/year. I guess this is one way to keep the operators honest.

But does this go back to help any of the workers ... NO. In richmond the workers have to pay license fees just to get a job in one of these places. Used to be $ but maybe more now. If they want to change jobs, guess what? $ to the city. Does the city do anything beyond raid the MPs and close them down? NO. I'd like to have them invest in an english teacher who also specializes in prostitution law. Richmond city council meetings should be a bit more interesting at least ...
