I am personally glad for both of those. If only they'd enforce not smoking joints in public in my neigborhood. I hate inhaling that crap.

It's not dorky. It reduces accidents. People shouldn't need to be told to do this, but unfortunately they do.

I lived in San Diego in the late 70's and while I was not given a rule book I believe that there must have been a law requiring crazy people to carry on a continuous conversation with themselves when no one else was around. Don't know if that law is still on the books tho.

As much time and money as it takes.

I am currently trying to get this illegal code removed from the state civil code.
I contacted my state assemblyman two weeks ago, asking that he put forth a motion to rescind this law,and as of today, in a conversation with his secretary, I was told my request is in the state capital, and it is moving forward.
She will notify me when it comes up for consideration in the legislature.
This code has a few flaws, one of which is, landlords are being singled out as opposed to other business in the state.
What do you think the outcome would be if the state told Home Depot, Walmart, or any other big chain, they can no longer ask for cash as payment for their goods?
Telling me I cant accept cash for payment of rent is illegal.
In these united states, the constitution states money in the form of bills,coins of gold,and silver, are legal tender in the payment of all debts.
Checks , credit cards, money orders and similar are not legal tender as the rule applies, however a business can accept them as payment.
I know why this code was passed in the state, that being mainly , tax evasion.
Regardless of how, or why it was passed, does not make it legal.
I am prepared to take this to the state supreme court if necessary, and further if needed to have this removed from the state statue

It DOESNT say you CAN'T accept CASH....it says you can not DEMAND cash..... sorry, if I can't pay by check so I have a record....I ain't livin there.... sounds like you just want to have cash that you can NOT report.

Another dumb law/rule is that you can't ride your bike on the sidewalk otherwise you'll get a fine.
