To make this analogy work, the people involved would have to be living in their car.

Or it could be decided that they were in fact at fault because they did elect these people into office...

While I would love to have my neighbor banned from burning things (burns trash and toxic materials) in his fireplace, I don't think this ban will change much of what is in the air. The Central Valley's structure and weather patterns are such that it will always be a basin that captures and hangs onto particulates.
The farming, which is the lifeblood, affects the air more than any other industry and they aren't going to ban farms. Crop dusting, burning the fields, stirring up dust........all of this gets trapped.
We have a fireplace.......it's a propane gas fireplace. I have the heat and the ambience without the pollution and the work.

Little known fact to me was that George Sorros who is of Greek nationality is funding "Progressive Insurance", and then funneling all the profits to other Marxist organisations that want a "new world order" under the the UN. No more US soveriegnty.
