Your fight is noble and just, but is going to run into the same wall that all of these battles do: when you're up against anything with the name "Russell" attached, you're up against someone who gets to play by a diferent set of rules than you.

Whether it's a "special" liquor license, relaxed "rules," or even the sort of "looking the other way" that usually only happens in the most outlandish Hollywood movies, they're going to get their way. They just are.

I feel so sorry for the good people at Pleasure Point who would still be in their homes if that property had been owned by Russell Lands. Except that Russell Lands would never have allowed houses so small to stand, of course. But the violations that happened at PP are miniscule to some of the things that happen every day at RL.
