Matt Yglesias advances the idea that innovation in pornography-delivery technology helped restore American cities:
[S]omeone should write a book about how VHS porn (and of course later the Internet) contributed to the cleaning up of America's cities. But why write a book when you can write a blog post?
[Y]ou do have a handful of businesses that can be commercial successful while also serving as neighborhood level dis-amenities. Many people do not want to live near a porn theater. And many of the people who do want to live near a porn theater do not want to explicitly articulate that preference during an intra-household discussion of where to live.
