If this is the standard for determing which regulations are valid an which regulations are not valid, we need to begin filing some law suits.

EDIT: I finished the article and it seems as if the judge was stating that if these same restrictions had been passed by the legislature in Albany, they would have been valid. Having seen what Albany is willing to pass recently, that may happen at some point.

The issue is that some places within the city fall under state licensing and others under city licensing. For instance a ma & pa convenience store on the corner under city licensing would not be able to serve a certain size drink while the 7 eleven on the same block which is operated under state licensing and regulations could sell that drink all day long. Essentially Bloomberg and his council are all fucktards..
