Wall Street Journal reported today that a New York state law passed back in 1933, which denies liquor licenses to establishments within 200 feet of a house of worship or a school, is hampering the development of Harlem: people cannot open restaurants, etc. Only businesses already licensed before 12/5/1933 (i.e, before the law was passed) are exempted.
I guess purveyors of opium for the people are afraid of competition with purveyors of liquor for the people. :)
