Anaheim and San Francisco to Host Worlds 2025 and 2026!

Not sure what you mean by this? If it's some sort of law about kids and gambling, Lille in France has held regionals for a number of years now with no real issues, along with a whole bunch of other countries in Europe [Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden all just last year] - and this isn't the sort of law that changes between different cities.

Hmm maybe its because a lot of those places are a lot more open minded to sex, pot and booze. Which for our so called prudish country would make Karens heads explode

1. in the EU the regulation of gambling doesn't fall under the "leg." of the cities in its first instance and often not even in the last instance.
2. If TPCi would argue with children protection laws, which includes in most cases gambling, they would have to stop marketing Pokémon TCG towards children. Playing the Pokémon TCG is not gambling.

Wtf has the Pokemon TCG with sex and Karens to do? With a statement like that you just sound like a stereotypical, dumb, brainwashed American.

It is definitely more than possible to have another Worlds in Europe. There may be fewer options due to gambling laws, but TPCi definitely had options. And since TPCi decided to have three straight Worlds in the US, the very least they could’ve done was put Worlds 2025 in the eastern part of the country.
 
Also they just released on their website that post-2026 they’ll just have worlds in Columbus Ohio—like NAIC used to be—every year for the foreseeable future, until at least 2050.

Gambling laws have nothing to do with it, it’s a card game and many places around Europe host regionals and internationals every year. It’s just tpci being America centric
 
As a Bay Area native, I will tell you right now there has never been, and never will be, any way to change the problems on the streets of SF. For those who are visiting, get ready for an experience similar to "The Walking Dead the Theme Park". You will literally be taking a car from one parking structure to another parking structure heavily guarded by barbed wire, you will only walk around downtown because it's fenced off by a brigade of 24/7 police armed to the teeth, and you will be expected to give up hard-won rations and significant amounts of loot in order to gain safe parking and safe passage. FYI stick-shift optional.
