Were I a resident of that Kommunist Klatch, I’d be ready to shoot to kill any idiot government man that stepped foot on my property. Then again, there isn’t a soul in that city that thinks private property is a right, now is there?

The fireplace police say they are determined to keep law and order in the living room.
Pretty soon they'll be checking everyone's toilets to make sure they're of the one-gallon-per-flush variety. (Didn't Hillary who have a part in that ?)

America in that part of California...is dead.

“Seventy inspectors from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District planned to spend the day and evening patrolling residential neighborhoods, looking for telltale chimney wisps.”

But this city is broke and needs money according to

They are going to visit MythBusters headquarters a lot!

residential fires are illegal under a new law

Does this law cover the whole house or just the fireplace?

[submarinerswife]

SF is a santuary city and these bastards are concerned with keeping law and order by making sure you aren’t using your fireplace? Hypocrisy on parade.

[FReepaholic]

Well, we all know these envirowhackos are mentally unbalanced. This is just another example.

They're spending time and money trying to keep people from polluting the air with fireplaces yet they refuse to allow the maintenance of vast woodlands to keep them from burning the countryside for days, thereby putting more pollutants into the atmosphere than would ever be with puny fireplaces.

I love a roaring fireplace and hate the government of San Francisco. Don’t believe in man made global warming.

But soot from burning wood is a serious pollutant and among the worst at damaging lungs. Everyone in my neighborhood has a fireplace and it gets hard to breathe out there at night.

Just saying.

It’s all about the Benjamins.

70? WOW...they’ve gone bonkers.

[Doc Savage]

When do the Sodomy police hit the bricks? The Public Nudity Police?? The IV Drug Police? The Bath House Anti-Sex Police?? What? You say they don’t exist??? Get out of town!

smoke can draw fine

Unless it's coming out of your arse. Then, you're just being a good citizen.

Here we go again- drip, drip, drip..nanny ping

So this is a classic case of ...

... wait for it...

Reconnaissance By Fire.

I break me up.

"The environment has to trump comfort," Regan said. "I'm sentimental about these things. A fireplace is so romantic, the curl of the smoke rising up - it's like Norman Rockwell. But I'm willing to make a concession to the planet's health and survival."

These fools deserve the totalitarianism they live under.

[Bean Counter]

Here in Southwest Washington, we were recently informed of a similar rule that is taking effect this year. It just kills me that we are constantly urged to do everything we can to use less and less electricity, only to arrive at winter to find that heating with wood is being severely restricted.

The difference here is that the Authorities are encouraging neighbors do dime each other out...

[laotzu]

People who gather their children to enjoy hot cocoa, and ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’, around a roaring fireplace are worse than Hitler.

[Darth Hillary]

Look Gaylord - There’s smoke coming out of that guy’s hole.
