I'd love there to be an airsoft site right on my doorstep rather than paintball sites.
Now, because there is a greater demand for paintball sites, there are more of those closer to me.
If demand for airsoft was equal too or outstripped that of paintball, then there would be more airsoft sites.
However, no matter how much I'd love there to be an airsoft site on my doorstep, I would not want legislation to be brought in to provide this.

Similarly, with non-smoking establishments, if there was sufficient demand for it, then no smoking pubs would be able to survive.
As it stands, the demand for a smoking, or smoking with no-smoking area establishments outweighs all others.
