It actually isn't a right legally. You can absolutely have your driver's license taken away and the government has the right to regulate usage in many ways. If you're confused about this, try driving the wrong direction for a lane long enough and see what happens to you.
- bhups 10y agoConducting business (i.e. running an enterprise) is absolutely a right. Obviously if your business involves breaking the law, the business owners shall be reprimanded, but that's separate from OP's assertion that operating business on NYC's streets is a privilege and not a right.
- grigjd3 10y agoUsing government provided resources, like roads, for your business is not a right. You seem confused, so you should try setting up a stand on fifth avenue without a permit and see how quickly the police remove you.
- kafkaesq 10y agoTry driving the wrong direction for a lane long enough and see what happens to you. Or, for that matter, setting up a pop-up restaurant in the middle of Central Park somewhere. Because, you know, the foot traffic and all the opportunity. After all, "conducting business" is your "absolute right", so why not?
