If there was a 500m rule we'd be left with whichever two got to DTK first, and they'd have no incentive to do better as they'd have a protected monopoly.
Indeed. While I'm an anti-capitalist, this is one case where I think it's good that capitalism can sort itself out. Legal weed is a new thing so there are a lot of business owners hoping to make their mark. The stores people prefer will prevail, the rest will close down. It beats having vacant storefronts.
