A terrific example of how stupid politicians can be. Here's a clue: economic health precedes physical and mental health, because people who are poor cannot buy healthy food, never mind the health care they need when they get sick.

Definitely a load of something. He gets complaints from citizens that there are too many wig stores next to each other? You could just throw your hands up and say that this is one idiot amongst more reasonable politicians throughout the U.S., but that is far from the truth. This is everywhere. My only point of confusion is that many of these people are elected officials. How do you prevent people from voting for these idiotic rules? It baffles me.

Parks is a long time LA political fixture, from Police Chief during Ramparts to the present. This is pretty obvious pandering to a number of influences ,all of which tend to thwart free will and personal liberty. Guess that makes him a modern day fascist,if he feels the government should tell people what to eat and derail capitalism at the same time.
Now,once again , how is the LA City Budget doing ? They can live without the fees,permits, and tax revenues from MacDonalds ?
Please tell In and Out Burgers that they'd be very welcome in Missouri. Great joint !!

As you correctly note, Los Angeles is broke and then some.
Now, as for In-N-Out ... work out a situation where we can finally get some Waffle Houses located in California and we can do business.

Thanks. Now I'm seriously hungry for some convenient, fast food and I live so far out into the country that it's a 1 mile drive just to the nearest convenience store, where I could get a chili dog. I'm disadvantaged! I have too many healthy choices in the kitchen! I live in a Fast Food Desert!

Over time I expect that business owners will act to capture these regulations and grow to love them for all the wrong reasons. The existing restaurants will like having large barriers to entry for newer more nimble competitors. That will serve to keep prices higher up and competition down.
The loser is the guy buying restaurant food whose choices are fewer. But who cares about him.

I was closer to having congestive heart failure listening Parks' [finger quotes] reasoning, than all Big Macs Michael Moore could consume.

Watching the politician making his points is well, one creative tap dance...
Made sense only to one person in the room, guess who...

I wonder if the idea of Los Angeles taxing satellites will make a comeback.

Wonder who paid for the lighting engineer in the video ? He looks like the president of Burger King or something ! But look at the details, the map of a heavily gerrymandered council district and the little construction hardhat on his desk. Did he get that from Dairy Queen or did it come from a Happy Meal ( boy version) ? He won't need it or it's symbolism in the future, no one will be building much in his district . But then he dresses so beautifully, he'll be asked to attend lots of openings of something.
