Jay Leno’s star power wasn’t enough to persuade a California legislative committee to pass a measure to allow owners of classic cars like him to be exempted from the state’s rigorous smog-check requirements.

Imagine being rich and famous and this is your political cause. What an effing creep.

    So you want the city to outlaw them through zoning. I disagree that zoning should be used to determine approved uses of your own space.

      I’m in architecture. “Uses of your own space” are still a collaborative thing, especially when you live close to other people. I am aware that a garage is not chemical storage but there is a line somewhere. The closer you live to other people the more you need to live with them, not simply near them. It’s a compromise we have to make.

      Everything has this give and take. You get to have the most freedom when further away from others but you also don’t get the benefits of living closer to them and vice versa. And if you do get both it’s gunna cost ya since no one is entitled to get it all.
