He did break the rules, but these rules were irrational and he didn't hurt anyone in the process. Thats the ethical and moral dilemma that hustlers have to deal with every day. This is an inspiring story, but when I hear about founders cheating, backstabbing and hurting others in the process, that is not inspiring... and there is a fine line between the two.

>but these rules were irrational Yeah, lets just let anyone who wants to set up shop in the middle of NYC roads. Won't impact traffic in the city at all.

  I am not propagating that anyone should be allowed to have a truck on the NYC road, but why is it restricted only for movie studios and utility companies? Why not look at other industries that might value from such a permit. Even the author seems to agree with that evaluation.

    Utility companies need to block traffic in order to service the public infrastructure. Film studios need to block traffic because traditionally it's been the only way to get street shots, especially when large film crews and big name actors are involved. Both are special cases that require special consideration. What is the special needs use case for a shoe manufacturer?

      I think the movie studios get permits more for the fact that it ends up becoming free advertising and good publicity for the city.

    >I am not propagating that anyone should be allowed to have a truck on the NYC road, >Why not look at other industries that might value from such a permit. Ah, yes, you're not propagating that anyone can block my streets. Only the ones that stand to make money from it. Look, if you want to be on the streets of NYC, rent some fucking street-front property, don't ask the city to turn the roads into bonus street-front property because you're too fucking cheap to cover rent. For utility work, its necessary. I'm not actually thrilled about closing streets for filming. I don't know how easy it should be to do, but I do know that it requires the access. Getting outdoor street shots in NYC isn't possible from inside a store, selling shoes is as possible whichever side of the sidewalk you're on.
