Any successful club will eventually go 905er or douche. It's inevitable. Only the small venues that really stick to a particular type of music/bands will be able to sustain.
But the expense in running a huge club means they will have to sell out sooner or later.
So the "cool" people just move on to the next thing and leave the Britney remixes to the downtown "tourists".
To hell with these cavernous, hangar-sized clubs...they belong in the windswept wilds of suburbia surrounded by oceans of parking so that their typical patrons can happily drive 10 minutes and park their ridiculously cheesy souped up imports to participate in one giant circle jerk. And don't even get me started on the airheaded bimbos who are into these assholes.
Why...will that be good for the neighbourhood.
Unfortunately, that is so true. When Circa opened I was genuinely confused about Gatien's business strategy - opening a Walmart-sized club catering to artsy, cool, alternative crowds in the middle of Clubland? Promoting Randomland Fridays as a gay friendly club night, surrounded on all sides by the testosterone fuelled, intolerant frat boy/gino douchebag hordes?? I knew even back then the place had zero chance of lasting, and by the time he bailed and the new management sold out to the typical crowd barely a year later it was too late. What was he thinking? I'm guessing through sheer ego he believed he could single handedly inject the area with a bit of culture, but he sadly underestimated what a stubborn, resilient pest The Douchebag is.

But what pisses me off about Vaughan is that these clubs were here first, before the condos started moving in and no one in their right mind would willingly have moved their family to clubland knowing this was a district where people came to party.
So he's being a bully, chasing legit businesses out of a non-residential zone that specializes in this type of night entertainment and hopes to replace it with wholesome and quieter adults who will be home and in bed before midnight.
Sounds quite boring to me.....

I still say that if you move into a area known for late night entertainment where tens of thousands of people descend upon every night, then you have to accept this reality or move elsewhere.
