Nice about the Bolt. I just feel like Silicon Valley and other cities like LA and Seattle are out of touch with the rest of America, and some sort of bubble of repeating ideas over and over again.
I care about the environment but I also think we have to be practical about it. Newer and newer gas cars are getting cleaner and more efficient. Or maybe someone enjoys off roading in their Jeep. or someone out of state is touring the nation in their Diesel Pusher RV. I just think it's crazy for a city to try to ban people who live in other cities from even being allowed to drive there based on their car. Well by 2030 and the article mentions the mayor, so maybe it will never happen. I just hate that idea. Maybe the tourism or chamber of commerce would step up for that one.
At least with the soda tax you can just drive out of the city and buy it cheaper like the signs they posted mentioned at the store.

That cities and states are much more free to come up with their own way to do things and test out new ideas without always having to go the federal government and ask for permission. If Seattle wants to do A and Minneapolis wants to do B, they can just go and do it and see what happens instead of lobbying the government to make either A or B mandatory across the whole country.
