red-light abatement laws

Read a random definition: Architect of the Capitol

A quick definition of red-light abatement laws:

Red-light abatement laws are rules made by the government to stop businesses that are related to sex. These businesses are considered bad for the public and can cause problems. In the past, brothels were identified by a red light displayed in a window or in the front yard. The laws are made to prevent such businesses from operating and causing trouble in the community.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Red-light abatement laws are ordinances or statutes that aim to eliminate and prohibit sex-oriented businesses, usually on the grounds that they are public nuisances. Historically, brothels were often identified by a red light displayed in a window or in the front yard.

Example: A city council passes a red-light abatement law that prohibits the operation of strip clubs within city limits. The law is based on the argument that strip clubs attract criminal activity and contribute to a decline in property values in the surrounding area.

Explanation: This example illustrates how a red-light abatement law can be used to target a specific type of sex-oriented business. The law is intended to prevent the negative effects that such businesses can have on a community, such as increased crime and decreased property values.

Idk how much of an effect it has on admissions chances but should be cool either way
ive heard the conversion rate for gulc group interview is pretty high even moreso if you have the stats
it's hard to say but i've also heard that the group interview is harder to get than the alumni interview. but who really knows tbh

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
