California Is Leading The Nanny-State Trend...

You fly-over people would give your right nut to live in California.

Words cannot describe how delighted I am that they DON'T live here.

How long have you lived in California?

Are you aware of this quote?

Note to Trajan: quick- get out while you still can!

California nanny-staters are at it again. Sometime later this month, the Los Angeles City Council is expected to pass a ban on plastic carryout bags. Not surprisingly, San Francisco was the first U.S. city to impose a plastic bag ban and California accounts for almost two-thirds of the 74 plastic-related bans in the U.S.

The merits of the bans are, at best, questionable. Recent studies have shown that the unintended consequences of the bans often outweigh their benefits. For instance, an audit found that bag litter has accounted for a higher percentage of San Francisco’s litter in the years since the city banned plastic bags than it did in the years before. But that won’t stop Los Angeles from imposing a similar prohibition, just as it didn’t stop Watsonville from becoming the first city in California’s Santa Cruz County to ban single-use plastic bags. After all, it is about saving the planet.

In California, it is always about saving the planet. Or saving the children. Or saving the animals. Or saving ________. You get the picture.

That’s why California is constantly banning things. Just this week, the Corona City Council approved a ban on clothing donation drop-off boxes because they “were becoming an eyesore.” California’s chefs are currently rallying against the state’s soon-to-take-effect foie gras ban. Children in Santa Clara County will no longer get a toy with their restaurant meals due to a ban, while weekend warriors in Glendale may no longer use synthetic turf in their front yards. If you enjoy an occasional caffeinated beer, shark fin soup or “Kosher for Passover” Coca-Cola, you are now out of luck in California, as statewide bans have taken effect this year. California also recently became the first state to ban indoor tanning for minors, even with parental permission. A State Senate-passed bill to ban foam takeout containers did not pass the State Assembly last year, but the assault on Styrofoam, which makes serving containers inexpensive and reusable, is far from over. While the state-wide Senate measure is still eligible to be voted upon this year, city councils in San Jose and Hermosa Beach are proceeding with their own local bans.

As with the plastic bag bans, many of these measures, while undoubtedly well-intentioned on some level, are fraught with problems and unintended consequences.

The indoor tanning prohibition for minors, for example, gives California the dubious distinction of being the first state in which “a 12-year-old girl can decide to get an abortion without informing her parents, but a 17-...

If you naysayers could think past your noses you'd see there's a good reason for every ban out there.

California is not the only place in the world where plastic bags are banned. It is an international movement, taking place in many countries.

When a 12-year old girl gets skin cancer from an abortion, you'll let us know?

California is FAILING.

There's no two ways about it. It is America's Greece.

No, even when you weigh the bad things against the good, I still wouldn't live anywhere else.

California is ruled regulated and taxed to death yet it is bankrupt no jobs filled with illegals, homeless, gangs, we have the worst schools, and it's been run by democrats for over 40 years.

You want to see the damage of liberalism, come to Los Angeles. Oh Lordy it's ugly.

SF has you beat for extra nanny state bullshit.

Your perrogative. UP to you to improve your conditions away from the impending debt and Socialism you are living in, isn't it?

California is the last state of the 50 I would ever consider living in.

There was a time where people were flocking to California, but those days are passed. Now working people are fleeing in droves. The only reason the population is still increasing is because of illegal immigrants popping out their anchor babies and living off of your tax dollars. When it comes to California, stupid is as stupid does, Forrest.

Just another reason, in a long laundry list of reasons, for why I left California.
