My boomer mom is all up in her suburban town councils business because she's afraid there is going to be a "marijuana shop" that goes in across the highway from her neighborhood in the strip mall that's being developed.
Anti-drug propaganda really did a number on that generation
The really fucked up part about that situation is the "strip mall across the highway from her neighborhood" part.
Car-dependent urban design has really done a number on every generation since the Silent Generation.
There's pot shops all over Washington state. They don't generally tolerate nonsense and respect the neighborhood they operate out of. I have not heard of any shops causing news worthy problems outside of financial. The shops always have a nice low profile vibe.
