可汗的提议不会影响现有的快餐景点。

While it’s probably better for kids to congregate around a Big Mac after school than, say, smoking cigarettes by the alley like ruffians and giving passersby the stink eye, the number of fast food spots that have opened near London schools in recent years is fairly shocking. More than 5,000 “takeaways” have opened outside British schools in the last seven years, the每日邮件报道去年。

不幸的是,数据不在可汗的身边:在南洛杉矶进行了类似的实验。不仅迫使当地人进一步开车以解决他们的修复,而且该地区的肥胖率自禁令生效以来实际上上升了洛杉矶时报报告。洛杉矶城市政策圆桌会议总裁伯爵·哈钦森(Earl Ofari Hutchinson)说时代:

“禁令是捷径。这就是解决更深层次的问题的方式……这是一个质量食物,质量优质的,优质的,质量建筑的社区。因此,只要这些问题持续存在,它将为快餐的影响而开放,因为它们满足了这个社区的需求。”

可汗的伦敦计划对于另一套不健康的伦敦人来说是个好消息:醉汉!The city, which is known for its robust pub scene, has lost a quarter of its pubs since 2001. Khan’s plan would force developers building homes near these pubs to properly soundproof their buildings, “thereby reducing sound complaints made against pubs and live music venues,”标准报告。
