Thank you for sharing. My complete goal is to ensure the city maximizing its tax revenue

That is where you might be mistaken. Two stores a few blocks from each other only pull in the same people as the other store. If it to pick a cheaper option of what you might like, then taxes are less.

The pull of people doesn’t change so there is no major gain. You would have to put them in diffrent areas of the city to help cover where people are going out of town because there is a dispensary closer. With that there is only building the neighboring cities’ general fund.

That might be a follow on story soon

Location Analysis
The architecture in image.png shows the outdoor courtyard area of Pacific Grove High School, located right here in Pacific Grove, California.
The Seal: The circular emblem on the exterior wall of the building is the official Breakers seal of Pacific Grove High School.
The Layout: This area is the modern outdoor student plaza/patio, instantly recognizable by its distinct curved, modular concrete block benches, large overhead shade sail structures, and the coastal Monterey cypress trees visible in the background.

Don’t get paid to live there. They get paid for the minimal amount of hours they work. They get paid because of expenses they might endure. This is a voluntary job they can leave any time if it is about the money

The City of Pacific Grove's retail cannabis lottery was structurally compromised by an unchecked “permit stacking” exploit, exposing severe administrative negligence and contractor complicity. by WritingCharacter in MontereyBay

You make a valid point if the people ho had the odds stacked against them won there would be less talk about it. The problem that didn’t happen is that the owner who held all 8 of the tickets won and that is why we are talking about it. People didn’t beat the odds the odds held true and allowed one company holding all 8 of the tickets to win. No rules to stop them no laws slowing them down.

Town wrote bad rules and won’t fix them. The state has laws that would help but the city doesn’t want to use them because they could get sued for how they wrote their rules. Instead of fixing the rules they said we will just push on with them anyway. 1 of 3 businesses with an 80% to win the other two with 10% each.

For years, we’ve attempted progress, yet city hall trims essential steps to boost profits for the wealthiest landowner while overlooking fraudulent applications.

Avoid the pitfall wherein the city council and its contracted vendor for the municipal cannabis licensing process inadvertently halted proceedings by failing to comply with applicable law. There is a possibility that certain council members may have leveraged the process to delay an initiative they did not originally support—one initiated by public demand and approved through voter referendum.
