According to a New York Times article -- (when you click on this link, please note that the NYT only allows free viewing of a limited number of articles per month), L.A. is the first city to enact such regulations as part of a public health effort to encourage healthier dining options.
In 2015, the Atlantic reported that the moratorium on the construction of new fast-food restaurants had "failed" as obesity rates had only increased in South L.A.
The Los Angeles Times, in a similar article deconstructing the ordinance's effect, interviewed residents and highlighted nuances in the data that note, for instance, that soda consumption decreased slightly, and that fruit and other healthier options had started to be served in community meetings.
