Socialist, artist, vegan, animal lover, anti-smoker... it sounds familiar.

This included weed too, right? Or is that OK for people?

First multi-unit, then multi-inhabitant.
Incrementalism.

This should be taken to court.
It should be up to the property owner to decide this, NOT the "city council" unless the "city council" owns the property.
Man I hate to see what America is becoming.

The councilman quoted, Dave Warden, is actually fairly conservative. He’s a good guy. My husband used to work for him, and he was a great boss.

"It's to give people who are intolerant of second-hand smoke a chance to say, 'Please stop - you're violating the city's ordinance,' in the same way that if your neighbor has a loud rock band, you can say, 'Please stop,' " City Councilman Dave Warden said today. Wow, great analogy, Dave!
BTW, Dave - please stop micromanaging the lives of the serfs - in the same way that Stalin killed 20 million people, Warden, you commie slimeball.
Another great analogy! NOW we're rocking LOUD!

Weed is allowed. It's a medical treat-ment.
Once I was smoking a cigar in downtown SF in the afternoon, 50 feet from a hippie smoking a roach in broad daylight. A liberal socialist smoking nazi came up to me and furiously demanded that I move. The rope smoker was ignored.

Yep, it seems that these smoking bans are incrementally going to make it illegal to smoke anywhere.
So now they are up to multi-family rental units. The next step will be multi-family condos, even for owners of the condos. Then the next step will be rental houses. Then the next will be owner occupied single family homes.
They are doing this one step at a time. And to think it started as having smoking or non-smoking sections in restaurants.
To: Reeses
It seems that if this passes, someone first has to make a complaint and then the offender gets warned; after that, subsequent complaints can invoke fines of $100.00/occurrence.
Smoking residents should buy a case of candles and several boxes of incense, hang a wreath of pot pourri in front of the ventilation intake, get a year’s supply of cabbage and a truckload of garlic, start cooking and settle in for a busier evening than the worst Halloween you ever saw.

He might have been a good boss, but that doesn't change the fact that he hates freedom and property rights.

That’s right, airplanes had smoking and non-smoking sections. Then it’s gone from there, incrementally, making more and more places off-limits to smoking.
Funny comment from the person about being challenged on smoking in S.F. but nothing was said to the dude smoking pot.
To: luckystarmom
Infringing on the private property rights, and legal contractual agreements of private individuals is NOT conservative.
