Not purly performative as Berkeley did actually have a CAFO. It ended up closing a few months before the ballot intative, and this ensures it won’t be starting up again nor anything like it

    Article is not very clear about the obvious weakness: this is a ban on factory farms themselves. Their products will continue coming across the nearest municipal boundaries and filling Berkeley’s supermarket shelves.

    Quite easy to imagine a USA where all the liberal cities “ban factory farming” but everyone, including liberals in those cities, continues to eat factory-farmed meat.

    Still, the symbolism is positive.
