There is a Liquor License Crisis in Humboldt County

Humboldt County has a problem, one that’s quietly strangling local business growth. In this episode of Behind the Redwood Curtain, Andrew and Luke sit down with Stacee Cootes, an expert consultant and advisor at the North Coast SBDC. Stacee reveals the dark side of the local liquor license market: a system where businesses close their doors but continue to "hoard" their licenses, artificially driving up prices to over $120,000 and preventing new bars and restaurants from ever opening on the Plaza. But that's not all. Stacee shares her personal nightmare, a $250,000 equity heist where her HOA foreclosed on her home despite a current mortgage, leading to a legal battle that has spanned nearly a decade. This is a raw look at the systemic failures in finance, law, and local bureaucracy. Road to 100: We are documenting the most resilient business stories in Humboldt County.
