You think he maybe joined at the Premier level? With that he would have access to all the clubs. He could make his rounds around the Las Vegas Valley and hopefully not be too well known for a while at any one spot. $29 to have access to 3 or 4 nice gyms is a real bargain. Honestly, it would make sense to do that, if you were homeless and living in your car.
as much as I'd hate to have him in the area, Russ could do well in the PNW. He isn't chronically addicted to an illegal drug (that we know of), doesn't have a violent history (yet), and has a facial disability that elicits sympathy. If he didn't have the outsized ego and sense of entitlement, he could eke out a marginal existence in a tiny home complex in Seattle and harass protties on Aurora ave for practically forever. He'd be at the front of the line to get into one. The only downside I can think of is that, while the city certainly tolerates sex work and buys into the whole female empowerment angle, it is technically illegal and they come down hardest on the johns.
From what we know he seems to be apprehensive about hiring street walkers, allegedly he's been ripped off/robbed in the past. Part of the reason he's so hung up on the brothel model is there's a manager he can complain to when he doesn't get his way. See the Olive Garden date where he threw such a fit after running out the clock the madam had to strong-arm another lady into servicing him. If he pulled that stunt with a street walker this thread might not exist.
I would laugh my ass off if Russ actually got the city to do something about Aurora Avenue. He'd get his feelings hurt when a single encounter with a hooker gets his photo passed around as a sort of "Do not service" warning and Russ would need someone to sue, so he'd go to the city and shove the issue of ableist whores in their faces. The civil war between the "prostitution is empowerment" camp and "protect the homeless and disabled" camp would be epic.
I have many reasons to dislike the City of Shoreline, but I do love how they provide a permanent counter-example to the idea the Empowerment camp has that Aurora has to be the way it is, because that shit stops on a dime north of 145th.
Tagging in a comment from the GvM thread due to relevancy, but
I want Greer to see Hardin in his sleep. In his dreams. In his nightmares. I want Aguilar to find a way to bring in Hardin so Greer has a fourth case he has to deal with him. I want him to ladle a spoon full of alphabet soup with his wretched claw and see "H A R D I N" spelled out for him. I want Hardin to have a direct line to whenever Greer files suits against other people so he can be near the forefront to offer his services (it already exists, it's called Kiwi Farms). No escape from the Hardship.
That's the Nordic Model/decrim he's trying to stop by building his own brothel and pushing for full legalization.
His hometown being 11k mormons is why he got the Erika help, I think. It was a clear and final "last chance at recovery" and they gave him a good sendoff - now nobody at temple or whatever they call it can gossip about their part - they done tried their best!
If you do spot him in the wild, see if you can take a covert photo and post it to the Farms, like when @JudyTester grabbed a shot of Liz Fong-Jones on the subway in Chicago.
Russ has a violent personality and psyche stuffed into a twerpy body not built for violence. So he sits and seethes. Lawsuits are violence in his world.
Best not, it could result in a Resident Evil 7-tier "Welcome to the
His dangerpoint will be if he can't plightsperg anymore; if he gets declared vexations all whores, women, children, and able-bodied men should evacuate Nevada.
Just realized he also can't sue street 304s without admitting to being involved in something illegal himself. If there is something street whores are safe from is Plaintiff Greer's motions to have his penis sucked in a tardguarding court.
You're talking about the guy who admitted to weapons-grade extortion in a lawsuit he brought to try to get the state to enforce said extortion, while admitting loan fraud.
