I guess that would simply be an issue of state law and the ability under such laws of towns to pass certain zoning. I don't think this says anything about pornographers being able to force communities to allow their businesses on main streets. Blame your state legislators for this.
Yet there it is, courtesy of the ACLU and a bunch of jackass judges.
From what you've described, it is there courtesy of the state legislature.
The story has some holes in it.
A)It's perfectly legal for a town to pass a law to restrict "adult establishments" from being too close to churches or schools. NYC passed just such a law.
B)If it's such a small town, why did the landlord rent to such an establishment? Doesn't he have to face his neighbors etc.?
C)Most retail establishments deal with community standards one way or another. If a business doesn't meet community standards, then nobody will patronize it and the place goes out of business.
D)Adult establishments generally don't open on small town Main Streets. They know their customers prefer anonymous entrnces and exits.
The legislature cannot pass a law which the 9th circuit or SCOTUS, in their infinite wisodm, has declared unconstitutional.
