Having Solved All Other Problems, LA Bans Some Fast Food Places

Apparently, there’s no more crime in LA, no illegals, and no budget issues

New stand-alone fast food restaurants have been banned[1] from setting up shop in South Los Angeles, due to rising health concerns by the city council.

How many fast food eateries does one area really need? The Los Angeles City Council thinks South Los Angeles and South East Los Angeles need new choices as these regions face an over-concentration of such restaurants.

“This is not an attempt to control people as to what they can put into their mouths. This is an attempt to diversify their food options,” said councilmember Jan Perry.

Perry’s new plan bans new so-called “stand alone” fast food restaurants opening within half a mile of existing restaurants.

Our old friend “diversity” combined with a smattering of Nannyism. You just know that “responsible food choices” has to have something to do with it. Good thing they’ve taken care of the South LA gangs going after jewelry stores,[2] eh?
