Completely disagree. You just assume that corporations are going to be rolling out truck fleets without providing any evidence of the fact.
The point is not that we know that they will. The point is that once a profitable niche exists it will eventually be filled. Whether some existing restaurant chain starts putting a truck on every corner, or whether one of the current truck entrepreneurs grows to be so big that he can afford to put a truck on every corner, if food trucks aren't regulated they will eventually be annoyingly prevalent.
It's independent restaurants that are starting food trucks and it's CORPORATE interests that are colluding with local government to stop the threat -- precisely because they know they CAN'T compete with the decentralized system of street vendors.
No, they're objecting because they have a huge investment in the current way of doing things. It doesn't mean they can't switch to a new way of doing things if they have to.
