This has been an issue for 15-20 years at this point. Pretty minor effort, that will net zero long term results. Problems bigger than enforcement, it's time for these politicians to really step up and start figuring out longer term strategies here. Because the zombie apocalypse is at all of our doorsteps at this point.
