I mentioned HAGNJ before as a comparison, almost a identical situation. This place is way to blown up, won't end well unfortunately and it's our own darn fault...
No comparison. HAGNJ was in the worst possible location. Assholes going in the backdoor up the fire escape didn't help either. Dream is nicely located in an area where they are not bothering anyone, except possibly the house located next to them. I'm sure they are used to the traffic from when the medical office was there.
What satisfaction do all the haters get in crying wolf? Reviews are nothing but hearsay. Trust me, getting shut down is already factored into the business plan for these places anyway. When these places get shut down, they just reopen somewhere else. When 202-206 got shut down in November of 2021, they took their pound of fresh, and told the girls and the owner they could go right back to work the next day if they wanted to. A few places in Bridgewater and Somrrville had issues also. They all are still open and run by the same owners. As long as these places pay their taxes, respect the building and fire codes, and everyone is working there by their own free will, no one really gives a shit.
What happened in Edison only happened because the mayor wants to redevelop that whole stretch of route 27 with big not retailers and family restaurant chains. They didn't want the massage business to discourage those businesses from opening in the area.
