I heard a California Assemblyman tell the story of the L.A. Air Quality folks requiring that his brother put a $70,000 air scrubber on top of his BBQ joint. The neighbors could smell the food (where I live that's a feature not a bug).

He got an interest free loan and installed the only approved device (I wonder whose brother-in-law made it). It wasn't tested for food service and shut down in days due to grease clogging it.

They were nice enough to let him shut it by-pass it but he still had to repay the loan.

$70K scrubber on a BBQ joint? Yeah, that’s reasonable. /s
