Once upon a time, Mr. Lewis was my Representative. I thought he did a good job staying in touch with his constituents.

Initial reaction is that "this is insane".
After thinking about it for a minute or two ... it is a good decision and shows good initiative on the part of LA in trying to solve a problem. I think the rest of the country should follow, frankly. To use a plastic bag / paper bag once and throw it away is simply wasteful. There should be no reason why people can't purchase and start using reusable bags.
It's simply a change of habit. Nothing more.

It's the rage in bars in NYC now - very hip - $2/$3 per specials in many places or PBR and a shot for $5
and I can get a 6 in Key Food for $4.99 and I love a good deal
always a 6 in my fridge
see we agree on something

If this ever happens in my state, I'll use my pillow slips from home as bags before buying special, overpriced reusable bags or being forced to pay for paper bags. I'm not too proud.

One of the stores over the hill from here initially had reusable bags at around seven bucks. Then an organic co-op store started selling hemp-plus-recycled natural fiber ones, totally biodegradable, for a dollar fifty. Suddenly, the ones in the big store dropped to one-fifty.
Prices get sorted out.
In my locale, Whole Foods provides paper bags at no additional cost, but offers a 10-cent discount for each reusable bag (of their own design) that a customer brings to the store to carry their purchases home.
In years past, REI stores were very careful to avoid using bags whenever possible. Cashiers would encourage customers to carry their purchase without a bag. More recently, it seems they’ve forsaken that effort.

A friend and I were talking about the options -- one was pillowcases.
Others -- laundry baskets, plastic buckets, recycled boxes like ALDI uses, shirt off your back to make a sling to carry your groceries home.
Yeah Crazy California is at it again.
All they need is a recycle program for these plastic bags. Around here, Wegmans has been using recyclable plastic bags for years, and they have bins where you can return bags to be recycled. Come to think of it all of the plastic bags I've gotten have that recycle symbol on them, and I always return them to the recycle bins.

At the nearest REI, it's still necessary to request a bag.
I always wish I could afford skis, just so I could ask for a bag.
