Florida City Preemptively Banned Nightclubs, Dance Halls and Skating Rinks

Tennessee has banned hugging and other "gateways to sexual activity," and the city of Weston, Florida doesn't want to be left behind: it has permanently banned nightclubs, dance halls and - gasp - skating rinks.

Never mind it doesn't have any:

The city council amended an ordinance on Wednesday, outlawing these venues in hopes to “protect the quality of life” of residents, according to City Manager John Flint. Weston, in Broward County, has some 65,000 residents; it was incorporated in 1996 as a family-friendly planned community.

“Using tools such as periodic pro-active zoning code reviews to avoid unlawful incidents are far more preferable than having to react to such situations with law enforcement,” Flint told ABC News in an email.

Skating rinks as a haven for miscreants? I knew it! Link


How can it call itself a city when it doesn't have a dance hall, night club or skating rink?

But in all seriousness how can somewhere with a population of 65,000 call itself a city anyway? My nearest population centre has a population of way more than twice that and is only a town.
