Why is the government so concerned about strip clubs?

Saying yes to this Ref. is absurd. If you don't go to strip clubs, why do you care? Why is it your business?
How will a four-foot rule make neighborhoods safer? How will a four-foot rule cut down on prostitution? How will a four-foot rule cut down on the drinking in strip club parking lots (since in Seattle you can't drink a beer and watch boobs bounce simultaneously)?

The answer to all of the above is "it won't" and this is just another example of the government trying to regulate something that isn't broken.

The four-foot rule will make lap dances illegal and therefore put hundreds of women out of work. Why would we want to do that?
