From the city that makes it illegal to build fast food restaurants because its citizens are too fat, aka ignorant, to make healthy food choices, we now bring you this. Home Depot's et al must provide shelter to the "day laborers" gathered in their parking lot:
"Major new home improvement stores opening in the city of Los Angeles may have to build shelters for day laborers under a City Council ordinance approved Wednesday.
Under the ordinance, proposed by Councilmembers Bernard Parks and Ed Reyes and passed unanimously, all proposed home improvement stores of more than 100,000 square feet would have to obtain a conditional use permit from the city. Most Home Depot, Lowe's and other big box home improvement stores would meet this threshold.
In order to obtain the permit, the developers of the stores would have to present plans to address the issue of day laborers congregating on the property and waiting to be picked up for jobs. These plans could include building shelters for day laborers that include bathroom facilities, though the ordinance does not specifically mandate that such shelters be built."
What's next? look out, Houston. Now the Home Depot shopper will be forced to provide a job to said day laborer or be arrested for discrimination, or something like that.
