LA Confuses Catering with Loitering, Hates on Tacos

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is considering a new law that could leave the owners of taco and catering trucks facing jail time if they park in the same spot too long.

Currently, the food trucks that overstay the 30-minute limit in unincorporated Los Angeles County are subject only to a fine. But, as the San Gabriel Valley Tribune notes, the ordinance proposed by Supervisor Gloria Molina makes the violation a misdemeanor, which can carry jail time.

This is, um, bad. Food (including beer and wine) is pretty much the only great thing about 12% nation.** And taco trucks are pretty much the best thing about food in California. Which means that this new LA law is not only bad for California but bad for America.

**I apparently just coined this term, which refers to the fact California makes up 12% of the U.S. population.

    Let's pass a law that will create unemployment and deprive people of delicious food at a great price. The LA County Board of Supervisors are idiots who need to be voted out of office.
  • I agree with Susan's comments above, that stuff is without a doubt not right.
