San Francisco may be 1st city to cut Yellow Pages
Let’s see, the race to be 2nd will include Boulder, Berkeley and Seattle?
I do like Ed Driscoll’s comment over at Instapundit…
That last item may be so (12 years or so ago when we got our first cable modem, it seemed obvious that the Yellow Pages was suddenly superfluous) but that’s not the role of the government to decide. If I was the publisher of one of the city’s myriad free and/or alternative newspapers, I’d be worried.

1) Yep, just another example of tyrannical “Progressives” imposing their personal preferences through force of law.
2) I fail to see how this tyranny will “fight neighborhood blight”. I guess only the union thugs at AP can comprehend that one:
