What is the end game though? I mean unless colleges just axe Spring Break all together it's always going to be a losing battle. Like you said one place bans it they'll go somewhere else.

Maybe we need to make some sort of resort beach that caters just to Spring Breakers during that season. Get a 5 mile stretch of beachside land somewhere in the middle of nowhere Florida (going towards the St. Marks/Big Bend area) and built like 5 mega resorts, each having 2,000 rooms. All the others months they can be catered to families but during March partner with the universities and have them be Spring Break resorts. This would let the Spring Breakers get hammered but be isolated from major cities and the general public.

I do agree that cities are starting to do as a preventative measure before it gets out of control.

The Hannity segments are funny though Hannity does come off as a "get off my lawn" geezer in the segments.

And the Spring Breakers obviously vary. Not sure what the solution is, as I'm sure the shitty beaches want to not be shitty anymore and won't just accept their place as a Spring Break destination which is already crappy and which can therefore be crapped on further.

We thought it would be cool to try to relive 90s MTV spring breaks when I was in college by going to places like Daytona and South Padre (spoiler: it wasn't cool at all). I mean, we had fun, but those places suck anyway and the people attracted to them (other than people like us, for novelty) were terrible.

But, it was also cool to go to 30-A and the Bahamas for Spring Break at SEC schools when I was in college, and while we all got kicked out of our houses and acted like tools, it's not like we were having rap concerts on the beach and setting shite on fire.

Some areas will continue to see the $$$ and find a way to coexist with SBers.

Hannity apparently has a warped view of society. Spring break is sort of a ceremonial rite.
