In the short term it might - but it seems that there is real potential to run the yards out of town.
Scrappers who have the means can cross the Ohio River and sell in KY - at least at the present. Indiana is also close. Not to mention the surrounding suburbs and cities in the southwesten Ohio area that have yards.
It is a very short sighted ordinance, imo. Council, in it's rush to do something, may end up losing the all the tax revenue from the yards and their suppliers.
