Why should the city provide free storage space for their inventory? I can’t just drop a vending machine wherever I want.

- closeparen 9y agoExactly! Now let's abolish all public parking.
- dzhiurgis 9y agoI and you can drop my bike anywhere I want. Sharing them means less bikes left everywhere.
- brezina 9y agoYou mean like the 450k street car parking spaces that line almost every street in our city?
- inferiorhuman 9y agoMuch of the on-street parking is paid parking. If you're proposing that these scooter companies pay per hour that each scooter is left on the sidewalk, I think that's a great idea.
- s0rce 9y agoReally, I think its probably only a small fraction. Most residential neighborhoods have free parking, even many commercial areas. Do we have stats on this to be sure?
- binarycrusader 9y agoParking, even in “free” residential areas is time or permit restricted. So even if payment is not direct there are other indirect payments and constraints.
- brezina 9y agoNot left on the sidewalk, the scooter should be left on the street - a dozen scooters in the space formerly occupied by one car. And they should absolutely pay to use that space! Residential permits in SF are $150/yr. 50c/day per spot. Less than 5c per day per scooter. I think scooter and bike share companies would eat this opportunity up
