Cities opt for economics instead of religion to boost downtown areas

Via Slate.com's Today's Papers column, from an article of the same title by Emily Bazar in USA Today:

Churches are being turned away by cities and towns that hope to enliven a fading downtown or boost their tax base… The Liberty Legal Institute, which represents churches in religious-freedom disputes, says more communities are tightening zoning codes or considering other ways to restrict church locations… The communities with restrictions say they're not against churches, they just want a variety of services for their residents and businesses that attract customers seven days a week.
