Colin McEnroe (opinion): This CT city blocks McDonald's like suburbs zone out people FacebookTwitterEmail The golden arches of a McDonald’s restaurant.Nati Harnik / AP It turns out that McDonald’s is like climate change. You can slow it down, but you can’t stop it. I refer to Farmington-Girard LLC v. Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Hartford, a case which - like Jarndyce v. Jarndyce in “Bleak House” -- has dragged on for years and has “become so complicated that no man alive understands it.” The Hartford case was coming up on its tenth anniversary in 2022, but the state Supreme Court released an opinion this week that would effectively force the city of Hartford to accept a (now entirely theoretical) McDonald’s fast food joint with a drive-through window in the city’s West End. Somewhat amusingly, the McDonald’s decision was written by Justice Andrew McDonald and was previously ruled-upon by a judge named Berger, which sounds like “burger.” (Thank God, Justice Wendy Sanders-Arby recused herself.)
