Power Exchange, the 13-year-old sex club formerly located at 72 Otis that shutdown last year due to financial difficulties, wanted to open again, this time at 44 Gough. All was going according to plan, until one perturbed citizen, Lisa Dunmeyer, a Brady Street resident, put the kibosh on the popular humping space. It seems that said sex club (allegedly) attracted an unsavory crowd, one that would embarrass her in front of her guests. "When she had friends over," reports Mission Local, "they couldn’t believe the action. Cars circled the block blasting music, and prostitutes walked up and down the street."
It was almost as if Dunmeyer was living in some sort of urban metropolitan area. Shudder.
Anyway, after spamming the neighborhood with "Did you know that a large sex club is opening in your neighborhood?" flyers, resulting in a high volume of calls to the San Francisco Planning Department, the club's re-opening was over before it began.
But fear not, sex club enthusiasts! Power Exchange co-owner Mike Powers tells SFGate, "I have an architect . . . [who] is VERY informed as to the unusual code enforcement activity against me. The Planning Department has its head in its posterior, DEEP, and doesn't know its own code." He goes on to say the club will open in about a month or so at a location TBA.

Thank god, now I'll finally have a place to send unsuspecting tourists again.
Seconded. It was always fun send visitors there :)
Uh, kind of an unfair summary of what's going on there, huh Brock? It's not as if Ms. Dunmeyer has been the only person unhappy with Power Exchange's effect on her neighborhood; two other people were named in the city as not liking the club's proposed Gough location any more than than Dunmeyer did, and if there was a "flood of calls" to the SF Planning Dept., I guess a lot of other people didn't either?
What is wrong with all these people, Brock? Didn't anyone tell them that they "were living in some sort of urban metropolitan area"?
well played, sir.
maybe worth clarifying that the club was 13 years old, not its patrons.
This would be the same Mike Powers who, back in the mid-90s, attempted to use the Planning Department to shut down every BDSM club in the city except, well, ahem, Power Exchange?
That Mike Powers?
And now he's having trouble with the Planning Department?
Gosh. That's a shame.
I'm as pro-sex as anyone you'll find in this town (it's true) but man, the PE was skeezy and gross.
Um, there are still prostitutes and circling cars over there. It is a dead street at night. What, did you think kittens would circle and roses would pop out from the sidewalk cracks when the PE closed? Get real.
Why is it that the gay sex clubs don't take this kind of heat? Straight people need a sex club too. Craigslist just does not cut it.
