People do not understand economic impact. If an event brings in 100 million but has 300 million of cleanup you are negative 200 million. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. Food has very little profit to it except appetizers and desserts. Bottled beer has very little profit. Most money is in draft beers on tap and then specialty drinks often highest yield. Unfortunately what tends to make the most profit also is ripe for the most chaos and destruction. Some people are nice drunks, some angry, some stupid and others go through all the above.

I'm a little torn however, i understand that chaos shouldnt be the norm for the residents in this area. It seems they have gotten very serious about confronting the issues that arise. But at the same time, if this was a poor area, I doubt there'd be more than a few cops. Could those resources be better to combat other issues city wide? Of course, always two sides of the coin.
