With that said, part of the problem is that SS residents don't try very hard to protect their own neighborhoods. Bethesda residents would never allow hookah bars that open until 3 AM, yet there's no movement to get rid of them in SS even though they contribute to lots of late-night crime. [/quote]

Because Silver Spring elects people like Jawando, who was against any restrictinos on hookah bars:

[quote]However, councilmember Will Jawando (D-At-large) voiced concern that the legislation would disproportionately impact minority-owned businesses. He was the sole councilmember to vote against the legislation.

“This bill will put small businesses, mostly if not all, Black and immigrant [owned], out of business. And I don’t think that’s something that governments should do to determine the winners and losers,” Jawando said.[/quote]

Keep in mind all the bill (which did pass) was doing is requiring hookah lounges to close at the same time as bars.
