the question is whether the city should really aspire to become a never sleeping giant. Should regulations be amended to allow 24hour bars and restaurants, let alone more "normal" businesses to function all the time? It costs money to keep a city "open" with everything from extra police officers and firefighters to better lighting, continuous public transportation, and more sanitation pickups. And businesses have to pay for more staff, possibly at higher wages than during the day. Then there's the increase in noise, pollution, and crime.
