EXCERPT:
In a discussion on food trucks, at an L.A. City Council meeting, the City Attorney told council, they were not allow to make any attempts to tilt economic market scales via municipal ordinance. In other words, the city couldn't pass any laws to ban food trucks for the reason that they were hurting the business and economy of "brick and mortar" restaurants.
There are, however, OTHER reasons/laws that can be passed to address issues concerning food trucks, as City of Santa Monica, recently has, last month.
Similarly, there are issues regarding commercial vending that need to be addressed and enforced upon, on the east side of the Venice Beach boardwalk:
But Zuma Dogg believes a Federal Judge will say, "Where is it written in the U.S. Constitution, that it is L.A. City Council's job to try and preserve the economy of one side versus the other? Where is it written that a municipality has authority to pass law, tilting economic scales of the market?"
[To say, "Eleven stores have closed on the boardwalk, this year, because of the people selling handcrafts and handmade jewelery and custom items," is not a legal argument. The entire local, county, state, national and global economy has hit hard times, and many retail stores and businesses have gone out of business.]
Additionally, I do not think a judge will agree that you can ban ANY form of HANDMADE CRAFTS OR JEWELERY, because the stores on the other side are being economically impinged by the constitutionally protected expressions (crafts/art/clothing/jewelery/etc) made and offered by the artists and performers at Venice Beach. And courts have rules Tshirts/sweatshirts/hats ARE PROTECTED forms of expression. They are the medium of expression/canvas/walking flier/walking billboard...AND THE CITY KNOWS THIS! LIKE MUCH OF THIS ORDINANCE: IT BANS ALL, OVER THE POSSIBLE ILLEGAL ACTIVITY OF SOME. [Ex: Ban ALL shirts (Zuma Dogg's handmade, 1st Amendment protected shirt), cause someone else might sell a NIKE shirt. That is the reason Rosendahl's office gave me. ILLEGAL!]
