This article is unreasonable. Taipei has alleys and clever ways of dealing with garbage therefore San Francisco should allow larger number of scooters. But this ignores the major conflict that has already flared up. Without specific places allocated these scooters end up taking up valuable space in the public domain. Without successfully establishing methods for controlling and enforcing where scooters go they end up everywhere. My work involves wheeling equipment around along sidewalks all over the City and I am frequently blocked by not just individual scooters but entire piles which are heavy and difficult to move in part for the same reason they end up distributed that way. There is no particular place for them and only very limited efforts to collect them and bring order. If you want to revolutionize some aspect of cities such as transport or trash collection then you have to do it in a way that does not block other people from doing their work and attending their duties. If your revolution starts to cause a lot of damage as the scooter craze already has then it will start to be reigned in by official actions. Thinking that you have absolute infinite license to block streets and pile up scooters in a very small and congested city is unreasonable and wrong and has already failed. Try again maybe? Maybe aggressive collection of scooters based on Taipei trash collection could work where current methods have failed? I understand that you want scooters and that would be nice, but I want to be able to use the sidewalks and have already established a pattern of use that leaves them available to the vast majority of others who live, work, or visit the City.
