Sriracha: Nectar of the gods.
One day soon there will be NO manufacturing jobs in California.
White Castle after dinner emissions will soon be CARB and EPA regulated.
When I lived in Hyde Park, Chicago on Kenwood and 53rd, there were competing aromas from Harold’s Chicken Shack and Ribs’n’Bibs. I loved it. If a dense urban environment can have that, why not a spot in NoCal?
Any ‘harmful odors’ were probably carried into the area on a north wind out of Sacramento...
I wonder how many Governors have gave this company a call with an invite for moving operations out of California and into their state?
I bet Sriracha was there long before the olfactorily offended built their abodes.
I’m not sure I’d want the plant near my house.
The Judge wasn’t sure about the health issues, but ‘acknowledged that the odors “appear as extremely annoying, irritating, and offensive to the senses” and thus constituted a public nuisance.’
I think it depends which was first, the processing plant or the residential houses. I wouldn’t want someone to build a plant near my house. But if the complainants built their houses near an existing plant, then it should have been tough luck on them.
Decades ago in the Pittsburgh East End there was a Nabisco plant. They mostly made crackers. The baking aroma wafted through several blocks. It was great!
IIRC people complained. Then there were labor problems. Eventually the plant was turned over to the union who then baked snack crackers.
But it closed nonetheless.
Now it’s a crappy mall or something.
In a related story my grandfather was an engineer for Shoen Steel Wheel making railroad wheels and trucks.
We lived quite far from the plant but the slag and steel trains rolled right through our town often at night.
It shook our house.
My grandmother and other women in the area...a bedrooom, tennis community for the Mellons, Carnegies, Hillmans and such...complained.
My grand dad told them all in no uncertaun terms to shut up. The sound of the trains was the sound of prosperity, men working and supporting their families.
Bet the owners are libs.
Their stuff is too hot by a factor of about a hundred.
We were lucky, I suppose, just down the road, Gowanda reeked of rotting horseflesh from the glueworks.
People complained, of course, but those factories were the life-blood of tiny communities and everyone had friends and relatives who worked there. That and no one really got sick or died from it.
You just accepted it as a fact of life and went on. NOT ANY MORE!
Noooooooooooooo!!!!!
Simple solution, have Hong Fuy refuse to sell the sauce anywhere within a 100-mile radius of the plants, and mark it on all new bottles. And then let the “neighbors” neighbors deal with the idiots. . .
If you like your Srirachi, you can keep your Srirachi
Time for them to leave California.
I just learned that an agreement has been reached. The factory owners will now be capturing the emissions, packaging them in spray cans, and selling them to outdoorsmen and others who are around dangerous animals and people.
"Rooster Sauce Bear Spray" will soon be available from the plant for carry out or delivery.
NIMBY has now become BANANA. Please make a note of that.
