Burrito Justice surveys the taco truck ban

We interrupt this Spring Break with an update on the taco truck wars...

The recent hearing about the El Tonayese taco truck's unfortunate encounter with the SFUSD's Welness Policy garnerd this report on the Mission Loc@l blog: It’s a Draw: The Board of Appeals Opts for a Compromise. The bottom line for now is that the city punted. They'll hold their breath until June and hope the problem resolves itself. Who can blame them.

Meanwhile, blogger Burrito Justice contributes this interesting perspective on the taco truck controversy:

Behold, a map of the Mission. But what could the red circles represent? Outbreak of a horrible disease? Soviet Air Force bomber targets? Girafa sightings?

Alas, no. The red circles show a 1500′ radius around public junior high and high schools — the land where food trucks are forbidden.

I'm with the Burrito guy. And I helped him get his map right, because I think it makes a valid point well. The ordinance needs to be amended, and some compromise needs to be met that allows this business to carry on in its current location, without causing any harm to any students.
