Baloney. San Francisco is playing the game exactly as the rules are written.
Some people want to change the rules.

Even though your campaign references above try to imply otherwise, they do
not say that San Francisco is violating any laws. It is very simple: the air
quality standards are met and the region has the appropriate level (in
accordance with current law) of smog checks.

I understand that it irritates people that some people (whether by accident
of geography, meteorology, or whatever) don't have to suffer the punitive
Smog II, and now want to change the rules in mid-game because they feel
picked upon. 

But don't say that San Francisco is not "playing by the rules", unless you
are prepared to quote chapter and verse of the law San Francisco is
violating.
