I never said it wasn't difficult to open a business that serves alcohol, with the current regulations, I was simply saying there there are a good number of options around. I'm all for loosening the regulations and letting the market decide how many bars and clubs the city can support. My argument was against the "The scene here is horrible" attitude.

I don't think the scene is horrible. And I agree that there are the extreme stereotypes from out of town that think everyone is walking around with prarie dresses, a book of Mormon in hand and 6 wives.. I constantly have to squash those ideas with folks.
My point is, as SLC becomes more diverse and less LDS, the politics need to change along with it. There are many layers involved to getting there but I think many people agree(including LDS folks) there is a big problem and the road to change is discussion and open minds.
