What I heard about the beach fire bans was those wealthy leftest living along the beach didn't like the smoke bothering them. And no one has more pull with politicians than the wealthy leftest (also known as Hollywood/industry types). The farther west you go the farther left you go, and you can't go any farther west than the beaches, unless you go to Hawaii which is even more leftest than California.
But people still pay to watch their movies, so they keep pulling in the bucks and influencing the politicians on how we should live.
