Silly logic: Ed Wolverton edition

When you find yourself saying silly things, it is a good sign that your thoughts aren't supported by logic. Ed Wolverton of downtown Greensboro, tells Yes! Weekly's Jordan Green why it was necessary to impose a curfew for teenagers:

Anyone who has walked along Elm Street during the late night hours knows that sidewalks can become quite crowded. Sidewalk cafes bring life and activity, but they also remove space from pedestrians. Lines of patrons waiting to get into restaurants and clubs also limit the sidewalk area. When you further consider space used by trash containers, newspaper boxes, bike racks and other street furniture, sidewalk space often gets very limited. Space narrows down even more when push cart vendors set up on the sidewalks.

Wolverton goes on to "explain" why other problems also not caused by youngsters justify banishing young people from downtown. Silly Mr. Wolverton.
