Re: Opposition to Secondhand Goods Ordinance
Dear Honorable City Council and Stakeholders:
I wish to express the opposition in regards to the Secondhand Goods Ordinance.
This legislation, as drafted, is overreaching, unnecessary, over inclusive and is currently
being litigated in the United States District Court Eastern District of New York under
Gem Financial Services v. City of New York, Case No. 13-cv-01686.
This ordinance does not conform to the published appellate opinion titled
Richard Hopp v. City of Los Angeles (2010) 183 Cal. App. 4th 713.
Most stakeholders are incapable of funding the legal battle to protect their
freedom when confronting the bureaucratic institution and laws of the state, county, and
city. This jurisdiction needs to amend and better define it terms through legislative
means, to be conjunctive and comprehensible and no longer disjunctive and ambiguous.
This proposed legislation is a nanny solution looking for a placebo effect.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Sincerely,
