Ok, so instead of ya know, enforcing existing laws like loitering, tresspassing, indecent exposure, illegal immigration, etc the city council passes a law forcing businesses of a certain size to set up shelters and provide seating, tables, toilets and water.  Asinine.

Really, the only question here is how are the bleeding hearts going to defend it?

     Well, if he doesn't feel like being hypocritical, we should see BRTD around here demanding that any officer enforcing this fascist law be shot.

Ok, why is it these stores should have to provide space for people who don't even work for them?

[JohnFKennedy]

Do they provide the beer as well? If so then I am thinking of a career change...

I bet a bunch of homeless people from across the state will soon be flocking to Los Angeles for the ability work as a day laborer and live at Home Depot.

[Ban my account ffs!]

If it is to be set aside for day laborers employed by the stores, then fine.  If not, this is pretty stupid.

Isn't this the kind of things parks are for?  A place to relax and use the restroom and just kick back a bit?  Why can't the city work with businesses in developing spaces like this on excess land currently owned by the stores?  You know... government for and by the people, and not riding the people, whip in hand?

Damn I was really hoping some leftist would try and defend their fellow leftists.

The LA city council is not worth defending. The ban on fast food in south central comes to mind for example.

[dead0man]

Didn't some goofballs here try and defened that?

[MODU]

Yikes!  Is LA trying NOT to encourage new businesses to move there?  I think Home Depot and Lowes should "shrink" their stores to fall just under 99,999 sqft just to give the City Council the finger.

Wow, that's incredibly stupid.
