Los Angeles Closing for Business

During a time when some airlines are closing their airport executive lounges to cut costs.  Los Angeles City Council has voted unanimously to force big box home improvement stores to build executive lounges for day labourers who loiter outside their stores:

The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved an ordinance Wednesday requiring certain home improvement stores to develop plans for dealing with day laborers who congregate nearby in search of jobs.

The ordinance mandates that proposed big-box stores obtain conditional-use permits, which could then require them to build day-labor centers with shelter, drinking water, bathrooms and trash cans. —- Anna Gorman, LA Times

 How is it that people that have never had to make a payroll or grow a business; like the LA City Council or the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal think they can dictate to a business that has to and is?

I wonder if the business can make use of existing loitering laws to move the “day labourers” along? Hmmm.. probably against the poor things’ human rights?
