Strict regulations leave no space for adult
stores in Gainesville
Summary
The new
legislation effectively bars any type of adult store within the Gainesville
area, however this only applies to physical stores. This was passed so that the
“value” and “look” of Gainesville would remain pristine and inviting to more
families as much if not all of the town’s economy is based on college students
so anything as unsightly as an adult store may jeopardize that.
Problem
The
Problem would be that those who wish to purchase adult products no longer have
any choice and as such may not be as economically outgoing as they can be.
Who
Those who
wish to purchase adult products, as they no longer have any place to do so.
Ride-hailing app Lyft brings
competition to Gainesville
Summary
The ride
sharing industry is booming and Uber is losing its monopoly of the local area,
due to the new competitor. This comes as little to no surprise as a college
town of students who are known to party aka drink have a need for such
practices to ensure a safe ride home.
Problem
The
problem here would be that Uber is losing its monopoly on the area, however as
a student this is a good thing. However this can also be interpreted as
students who need a ride home might just have to swap or only have 1 choice
based on locations and where each new driver is willing to drive.
Who
Uber has the problem as competition is growing.

Hey Connor,
ReplyDeleteI believe all the articles you presented all show a local opportunity. I really like the last three articles that you did. In high school I worked for a restaurant and not getting tip is pretty annoying. I believe servers should be tipped if they perform well. The only way I would personally not give someone a tip is if they were being disrespectful towards me. The last two articles relate to each other. Beer is a huge industry and its nice to see that some of these companies are helping out in their local community. Great job!
Connor,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your post, it was interesting that you used a Gainesville newspaper and I learned a lot that I didn’t know before about the area. For example, I had no idea that a beer company in Florida was using augmented reality! Also I always use Uber in Gainesville, but I guess I can use lift now too. Overall your post contained everything that it needed and you did a great job!
