Wow, do I ever disagree with the author. Yes, those German guys didn't actually disturb anybody, but that's only because they were the _only_ ones brewing coffee in the middle of the street. How is it that so many people are unable to mentally extrapolate from "one person doing something" to "hundreds or thousands of people doing something"?
- mieseratte 7y agoHas Venice ever had a major problem with "urban campers" such that they would've had these laws? I live in a place not dissimilar from Venice, lots of tourists to pan-handle from, and we've had similar problems. It's unfortunate that they clobbered tourists with such an excessive fine, i.e. shouldn't first-timers be shown lenience in case of simple ignorance and misunderstanding, but the fact folks will find lenient areas, flock to those areas, and that ends up causing problems for the folks that live in the area.

You have to respect the city where you go with not taking your own food!! /sarcasm They didn’t brew their coffee in the middle of the street anyway.
