1. Does Grace Toohey know that Petaluma and LA are 500 miles apart, with different, well, pretty much everything? How is all her blah-blah-blah about the Land of LA relevant to petalume and Sonoma County?
2. This is interesting, "Since Petaluma's decision, four other cities in the Bay Area have followed suit ..." but if you want to learn who those other four cities are, you have to wade through the blah-blah-blah about the Land of LA before finding the cities are Rohnert Park, Sebastopol, American Canyon and Calistoga. If those aren't household names, well a clue might be that the combined population of the 5 cities is just ~139K, while the SF Bay Area population is in the 3M-6M range (I'm being lazy).
