MP Shut downs ?

[Lefty]

Over the past 2 yrs or so one-by-one the Surrey area MPs have been closed down.
Serenity, Lotus, Red Chamber, Expert, Alley Cats, recently Shanghai and probably more I have never heard of.

For the most part other municipalities such as Rich, Burnaby, Van as examples, seem to live and let live.

For an area that was previously plagued with the issues of street walkers, why would Surrey seek to close down the quiet out-of-the-way alternatives.

Does anyone have insightful ideas on this ? Perhaps with LE, Legal,or By-law experience ?

What will closure accomplish ?

Some here have claimed it stems from the mayor's office but I am not so sure. If this is politically motivated there is usually a public statement to take credit for it.

I can understand that by-laws are by-laws and some enforcement may be warranted. But eradication ?

Anyone with comments ?

Water Cube at the Radisson closure

This is essentially my first posting on this site.

I am sad to report the recent closure of my favourite massage parlour: Water Cube on the 11th floor of the Radisson Hotel in Richmond, sometime in the last month. Some may have considered Water Cube to be over-priced, but I appreciated the exclusivity the higher-end environment provided.

Periodic media indignation focused attention on this perennial, high-profile scapegoat with the inevitable result that the invertibrates at city hall forced the closure. The net effect will be that everyone who worked there will simply move to one of the other two establishemnts owned by the same company.

From my perspective, Water Cube provided a very pleasant way to while away a Sunday afternoon. The girls are long-time friends with whom I had had the pleasure of acquaintance for many years. They weren't being exploited any more than I was.

The sanctimonious media and political views of main-stream society are irrelevant, IMHO. What business is it of theirs what transpires between consenting adults in private, even if money is involved? If they don't like it, no one is forcing them to go. I don't appreciate the standards of morality of others being imposed on me.

Highly valuable services were being provided that enhanced the enjoyment and quality of life of all concerned. Those of us who do not enjoy the luxury of long-term relationships and suffer the ravages of high libido, appreciate the memorable experiences they provided.
