Reply to comment by Newarkguy1836 in Murphy liquor license plan will destroy neighborhood favorites (Opinion) by Newarkguy1836

Are we best friends? I’ve been shouting this from atop my soap box for years now. It’s absurd that the highest population density areas of the state are limited to so few licenses.

Correct. Under current NJ liquor regulations , Newark can NEVER be the 24 hour live city NYC is in terms of nightlife & restaurants.

Imagine if NYC was in NJ, where annexation was restricted, then denied by "home rule". Liquor laws arranged in zero sum game determined by a set finite number that can only be sold ortransferred, but never added on to.

You get Newark! A city sabotaged by its host state.
