Well Browne, I think that’s the thing. While social health programs and children’s advocacy are a separate issue from the taco trucks, one thing is true:

People DON’T really like kids & people as much as tacos.

They like tacos better.

Wouldn’t it be great if people like kids and people as much as they liked tacos? This is major big deal which is great, but you know wow it’s pretty amazing in regards to everything going on in regards to people and rights that this is the thing that really caught on.

Thank you COUNTY Supervisor Molina for answering my question. So the Trucks on Figueroa, Eagle Rock, Venice, Sunset, Santa Monica, and other parts within the CITY of Los Angeles will all be preserved. Including, and especially this one.

Wow, I remember the good old days in LA…taco trucks, smoking in bars and a very seedy Hollywood Blvd. Oh how times have changed.

woohoo we stand corrected its "county hall" not "city hall".

That only makes it clear we need a consistent approach to the issue. Both are vialble businesses that need and deserve and equal shot at making a living.

Just recieved a response from Mrs. Molina’s office today, to wit:

"Thank you for contacting my office to express your views regarding the
proposed changes to the Los Angeles County peddling ordinance. Please be
aware that this ordinance is effective only in the unincorporated areas
of Los Angeles County.

The proposed changes to the ordinance allow peddlers to remain in one
location in a commercial zone for one hour. The current ordinance
permits 30 minutes in one location. For your information, vending from a
sidewalk has never been permitted in Los Angeles County. Our ordinance
will protect the health and welfare of our residents and respect the
needs of our business community.

If you require additional assistance with a County-related matter,
please do not hesitate to contact my office at (323) 881-4601. Thank
you.

Sincerely,

GLORIA MOLINA
Supervisor, First District"

People keep on mentioning "City Hall" as the culprit. Since it’s Gloria Molina behind this action the building we should be hurling rotten eggs at is the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration where the county supervisors are stationed.
