Agreed. I feel that we're taking a potentially positive step if and only if residents and owners get to weigh in on what the new policies should be, but the State has definitely taken its pound of flesh out of current owners and, well, it doesn't seem like there is anything in the works to compensate current owners. It seems like the State is just calling it a sunk cost. The new City-run liquor licensing racket could be even worse than the old one . . . or it could take into account in some concrete way, the efforts of current owners.
