In Lansing, Tompkins County, NY; only the Rural areas are zoned for Adult “cabarets,” Massage parlors, sex toy stores and all other Adult businesses — an area where the residences are frequently isolated, and there are no street lights or Sheriff’s patrols: this recent special ordinance was enacted “to promote the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the citizens of the Town of Lansing.”
Rural houses are bought by absentee landlords, and turned into subsidized housing where the County can dump the unwanted poor, homeless and addicted from around the colleges to “balance the burdens.”
Rural families that have lived in the county so long; that the roads are named after them are leaving.
