Proposed Bottled S.F. Water Ban Leaves Some Steamed

The San Francisco Appeal reports:
San Francisco is going BYOB. Bottled water, that is.

San Francisco has already banned the sale of soda from vending machines on city property, and is now considering a ban on bottled water too! The city is proposing a restriction on selling bottled water at all events on city property, including festivals, park events, street festivals, etc. as part of the city's zero-waste campaign. This proposal would also affect concerts or parades with city "use agreements" where alcohol consumption is widespread.
You might ask where in the California state constitution or the U.S. constitution politicians have the right to ban a legal product? This is progressivism 101, salvation through legislation. Some people really hate freedom.
