The LA City council has been discussing putting locks on homeowners'
recycling bins b/c of this. Personally, I think it's a petty, cruel
move for the more affluent to lock away something that's being thrown
out. Counterintuitive, IMHO, but the City council insists that it will
keep the "undesirables" out of residential neighborhoods. They also
attempted to keep the taco trucks from parking for more than one hour
in one place - claimed it hurt local restaurants. Like a taco truck is
going to be competition for a restaurant? Likewise, the Santa Ana city
council has been discussing banning the ice cream handcarts. What a
crock. What's next? Ban the little old ladies in SA from using their
iconic umbrellas?
