Should be enough Bay Area air regulators to build a good fire.

I am sure the duraflame I burn 10 times a year is the cause of this, it certainly is not the hundreds of thousands of cars which run daily.
To: SF Republican
The problem is most likely cause by all the foul hot air spewed by these idiot bureaucrats

San Francisco, February 14th 2010(AP) It was a sad Valentine's Day for at least a dozen elderly Bay area citizens who were found frozen to death in their homes today. In all cases the gas lines had been cut off for failure to pay. Wood stoves were present in all the homes but were not used due to the anti-burn "spare the air" regulations.
"It is sad that they died but at least the air is clean", said Tempeh Rainbow, a county social worker investigating the case.

Why don't they just ban living in San Francisco and let it go back to the way it was 200 years ago.

Say what you want. But after seeing this type of stuff for so long I now believe it empowers the left to take away pleasure. It allows them to chip away at your initiative to achieve and fight off their control.
50 years ago it would have been called Anti-Americanism.

Seattle has burn-ban days, when a temperature inversion traps smoke low to the ground, and there's no wind to disperse it.
I still think it's silly. Wood smoke is not pollution. Wood smoke is a heavy particulate-laden smoke that is entirely natural and not chemically harmful. It will eventually disperse and/or settle to the ground. There's nothing particularly unhealthy about it.
I think I've even heard it said that it's not done for health reasons, but merely asthetic reasons. They're afraid that somebody's going to take a picture showing something other than crystal clear air.

Why does anyone choose to live on this planet of SF? The job I'm in now... is technically located at our company headquarters in the Bay Area. I took the job on a first condition that I could work in our Bellevue, WA office, and not move to SF. There was no way I would have accepted the position if I had to move to SF. Not for double the salary. Not worth it.

In the 90s, they proposed an outright ban. And a ban on new home construction including "fireplaces".
From the article: The Bay Area air district issued voluntary no-burn advisory on 26 Spare the Air nights this winter, but many people lit fires those nights anyway, officials said.
