    That’s almost as bad as the geniuses that build luxury properties right next to race tracks, then petition to have the race tracks shut down for lowering property values.

    Unless the bar somehow snuck up on you?

      Bars and churches often do sneak up on neighborhoods.

          The old ones are usually not loud either. The loud ones tend to open and close often.

            Might be a regional thing, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a new church built in my lifetime. The only churches I see closing down are the ones in small towns that don’t have the population to maintain it anymore.

            I’m curious, do you see a trend in the denomination of these pop-up churches?

              I imagine it’s “regional” by the meaning that entire countries have them behaving in a similar way, but it’s different from one country to another.

              Anyway, I live in a 60 years-old city, so there are no centenary churches here :) yet they are still mostly older than the average for my country. There are entirely pop-up denominations that appear, annoy the hell out of friends and relatives that I have in other cities, then close down and disappear so that nobody remember their names anymore.

      Restaurants turn into bars, bars turn into clubs. This can happen in the span of months in some cases.

      Also some people may have bought during covid when there were no bars, some others may not be able to afford much else within commuting distance of their work.
