The legislation, introduced in January by state Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, prohibits criminal penalties for sidewalk vending. Vendors will also be able to clear pending citations and be retroactively relieved of previous convictions.

If you Drive around the San Fernando Valley there are literally thousands of sidewalk stores on Public Property selling crap everywhere. Around the Corner from me 2 Restaurants went out of business after 4 Sidewalk Restaurants opened up within a couple hundred yards. Absolutely Frikkin Ridiculous.
Welcome to New Tijuana!!!
Peddling is made illegal to protect the tax paying businesses. Watch sales tax revenue plummet and food borne illness rates to skyrocket.
What are Bay area liberals to do the next time they see a black child selling bottled water to raise money for a trip to Disneyland?
“Welcome to New Tijuana!!!”
My thought exactly...Moonbeam making many feel right at home.
Who would want to buy food from a street vendor next to a guy that is taking a sh!t on the sidewalk....
Oh, Well I guess it is all ORGANIC!!!!
Turn LA into TJ.
Maybe they can sell the sh!t on the sidewalk.
Gonna be a lot of taco wagons soon.
Well at least now they won’t be sending little girls who sell lemonade on the sidewalk off to reform school.
But when the IRS goes after them for tax evasion, well thats another story.
Reason 2763 for me to stay away from Cali. My sympathy continues for FReepers who are still there and suffering.
This happened to a small restaurant owner close to me, had a small burger joint GREAT burgers, a Mexican Taco truck started parking and selling food at night in the adjoining parking lot!!! Due to the fact they did not show up until AFTER 5:00 government offices closed he was battling a brick wall!! This truck was not inspected by health department probably paid no sales taxes or other taxes they ran the guy out of business in 6 months!! It was such a small little business but GREAT food I was so sorry to see this happen to him, I might also add that of course the truck paid NO RENT, or utilites
I have a friend whose sister has a hot dog cart in the plaza in Mexico and she has to get permits and is checked on by the local inspectors.
Moonbeam wants to turn CA into an open Middle Easter bazaar.You wonder how is he going to tax and regulate them if they can disappear just like that?

I hate to say it but we need a “Reverse Gadsten Purchase” think of a “Gadsten REFUND” of the southern part of California ( including the bay area) and just pack it with any many blue tards and liberals and then just GIVE it to Mexico and build a damned wall around it.
It would also solve the Hollyweird problem.

Funny how socialists can abuse the Free Market ideals to destroy an established free market system. They are masters at using our own virtues AGAINST US. And we are ONLY JUST NOW trying to catch up.
I think at some point Socialism needs to be hunted down like the deviant mind virus IT IS.
Does this include pot dispensaries?
Going price should be 1,000 pesos and two avocados.
The sidewalk Restaurants around here setup Tables with Tablecloths and chairs, have a Waiter and Take up about 100 feet of the ENTIRE Sidewalk. They pay NO Taxes, Have No Facilities of ANY Kind the poor Business Owner with his extraordinarily high rent/lease, employees,insurance,work comp,... and all the inspections and laws that govern them is SCREWED once Again to pander to CRIMINAL INVADERS!
THEY PAY NO TAXES! And as far as I am concerned the State has entered into a Conspiracy to Violate Federal Tax Laws and the entire Legislature and the Governor should be in PRISON!
I dunno man. 9 out of 10 vendors will be güero hating mexicans. I’ll say it again...I am so beyond glad that I moved out of that screwy state!
California is more and more like Mexico with each passing day.
Really makes New England look like a First World paradise in comparison.
