California is just Fucked-Up

[Grace]

California has to be the Damnedest, Whiniest State to live in.

I suspect the city had to approve the site prior to construction? [/size]
Most competent cities do that or have these types of businesses already approved in their zoning plans.
Other competent cities have streets wide enough for a Full Size 3/4 ton or 1 ton truck to drive on, Not California.

What they can't deal with is conservative viewpoint from one of the most successful companies on the planet. 

That area doesn't allow new drive through businesses, and they only had one existing one which Chick-fil-A purchased and the purchase was approved.

What they didn't expect I suppose, was the amount of traffic that Chick-fil-A would draw. The business has done everything in their power to mitigate the "nuisance" aspect, they have added a second drive through lane and hired more employees etc to get people through the drive thru quickly, but it's still not enough to keep the customers out of the road waiting to get in, which apparently blocks traffic as well as other businesses.

The city, last I heard, was looking at working towards finding a new, much larger location to relocate the Chick-fil-A to, which if the location was good would work. Apparently people in California love their Chick-fil-A.

In reading more about it I can see why it can be an issue, and if the city goes ahead and approves a new location that's better for all involved then it would be an all's well that ends well situation.

But apparently as it stands, there can easily be a 45 minute wait to get into that Chick-fil-A, with miles long lines that block all manner of traffic. I can't imagine any fast food that good! But apparently this one is...
