Are you serious? The issue did not go to referendum and even if it had, I cannot imagine a court allowing it to stand.
No choices? A person alway has a choice of whether to enter a McDonalds or not. Personally, I have not been in one in at least 5 years. I simply do not go in one. Its easy. Really.
I am always amazed at the arrogance it takes to see people as hapless drones being controlled by the big bad men in top hats whose biggest crime is to purvey a hamburger that tastes like cow dung. Why not let the individual decide? That's FREEDOM.
And of course they have decided. Were there no demand or desire, the junk food places would not be there.
What about Bars, Nightclubs, Strip bars, Adult Movie Stores...
Why don't we let them build right next to a high school just like McDonalds can, if demand is there? That's FREEDOM!
The annual cost to society for obesity is estimated at nearly $100 billion. Overweight children are much more likely to become overweight adults unless they adopt and maintain healthier patterns of eating and exercise.

I don't disagree with that. Is it our job to raise other people's children?
Ground control to Mach50: There is an age liimit required to enter those places.
Many cities have ordinances against those businesses building near schools, I see it as the same thing as ordinances against Fast Food...because they influence and harm the public. I mean you want freedom but with lines, where do the laws start and end that limit our freedom?

Each city needs to decide for themselves what's acceptable. Maybe for some, a porn shop next to a school is ok. That's for them to decide. I bet not many people would want to live there. I wouldn't.

You are not making a damn bit of sense. Do you expect to come on here, compare booze and sex establishments to places selling hamburgers and think anyone is going to take you seriously?
Racism of the 21st Century is rarely characterized by slurs or burning crosses. Rather, it is characterized by a disgusting, despicable train of throught that claims poor people are too stupid to live their lives so we will control them. Its then packaged as some kind of benevolence even though nobody asked for it.
Imagine the level of a mind that would ban people from munching on burgers all for their own good! How utterly despicable.

I think the City of LA has decided what is acceptable for themselves in this case as well.
