I am sure the elected door knobs don’t want any more in the city running for their office spots.

But those idiots elected them.

Seems much like what happens in California then, the rest of the US.

Hmmmmm, I can see an opportunity to open “Smoke Easy” establishments. Basically, Speakeasies for “eeeeeeeevil” smokers.

the militant anti smokers..would be certain to see it was denied a PERMIT to exist...

actually there is a smokers club in nearby Mil Valley but people in San Rafael wouldnt likely walk there for a leisurely smoke.

the anti smoke attitude around here is truly INSANE. ..I-N-S-A-N-E

Door knobs serve a useful purpose. Obama, not so much.

“Basically, the idea is that you try to make environments that are as universally usable by any part of the population.”

in other words, add huge costs to 100 per cent of the population, that affects only a tiny percentage, and may not even affect them at all.

Claiming your city an Obama free zone would instantly raise real estate values.
