Rules on nightclubs too tough?

It’s hard to enjoy the nightlife in Clayton County.
That’s because there are no nightclubs in the unincorporated area. James Redding wanted to open a nightclub in the old Southside Peach building, but residents of the Rex community banded together to fight the idea, saying a nightclub would bring crime and traffic to the neighborhood.
The county commission officially shot down Redding’s plan about two weeks ago.
Now folks will have to drive to downtown Atlanta for some drinks and dancing.
Is this fair? Should Clayton relax the permitting rules, which currently require the board’s approval, on nightclubs in the county? Or should Clayton County remain a nightclub-free zone?
