More like local control rather then the Nanny State. Not my cup of tea demanding businesses close down their drive through access, but I don't have to live there.

Of course, the next thing the town should do is ban any other additional businesses. More businesses means more cars clogging things up. Can’t have that. High unemployment is much better. Less cars zipping around and clogging things up. Less kids getting fat from excess money. (smirk)

In-N-Out has the BEST hamburgers of any fast food joint. You can get them wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun if you so choose. California has been controlled by hard Leftists since implementing their Motor-Voter Law (Register to vote when you get your driver's license without having to prove citizenship. Just tick a box that says ‘I am eligible to vote’)in the 90’s. And, no, Arnold isn't conservative. He was just more Conservative than his election opponents. California is going down the tubes and the Nation should wake up and see it's future if we continue with Democrat rule.

From 1992:
Drive-thru study clears air but ban plans died in 1990 LOS ANGELES - A scientific study commissioned by the California Restaurant Association and nine fast-food chains has found that cars idling in restaurants' drive-thru lanes produce less air pollution than do cars that are parked and later restarted.
But contrary to published reports, the $125,000 study - which originally sought to undermine a plan to outlaw the construction of drive-thrus in Southern California - was released almost two years after state air quality regulators withdrew the threatened ban.
"The proposal was dropped back in '90" and never resurrected, said William Kelly, a spokesman for the South Coast Air Quality Management District, which had considered restrictions on drive-thrus because of now-contradicted findings that idling cars burn fuel inefficiently and generate excessive carbon monoxide.

They are very good. If you eliminate mayo and cheese on a burger, lots of calories can be eliminated.
Pretty soon they will cancel your order if it is over a certain calorie amount.

Smoking. Plastic bags. Light bulbs. Now the drive-thru. All outlawed.
And at the same time, hostile alien invaders are welcomed, homosexuals are held in exceptional esteem, and America-hating double digit IQ stars are worshiped as wise men.
Is it out of the question to ask Mexico to finish taking Kalifornication off our hands?
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

When someone approaches a governmental official with a complaint of obesity, they should be told to mind their own business.

"the Nation should wake up and see it's future if we continue with Democrat rule" There are plenty of other examples round the world. It is just that CA did it with a smile on its face.
For the real future - look to the UK where the new non-left Government is looking to implement 40% (that is FORTY PERCENT) cuts in government departmental current expenditures with 50% in the 'back office' which I take to mean administrators/bureaucrats!
Oh! Happy Days (for taxpayers)

BTW this is one of the most dictitorial, fascist out of control governmental agencies this side of the IRS. If you're not in Cal experiencing the rulings coming from this "need to be replaced" board, thank God.

OH man, we used to go outside and play for hours! Riding bikes, playing ball, walking..................and we never had to check in either.
Today....check in with cell phone, not safe to walk here or there!
I have some great memories growing up in Chicago and being outside until the sun went down only to come home for meals/chores and then it was back outside.

It seems that city officials are advancing two reasons for banning new drive-ins: 1) the food they serve is (allegedly) unhealthy; and 2) they cause traffic to back up onto streets.
The first reason is absurd. If someone decides to open a tofu and salad with fat-free dressing drive-through, I'd bet they'd have no better chance of getting a permit than a place selling double bacon cheeseburgers -- nor should they.
The second reason may be valid, at least to an extent. So, mandate that new establishments have "stacking room" for cars on their property, rather than banning the establishments outright.
