If you choose to ride a scooter and you hurt yourself because you ran into some tree roots that is on YOU. It is not the city's responsibility to provide a perfectly manicured path from arbitrary point A to point B as you drive too fast while potentially high.
"I always knew that catastrophic e-scooters crashes would become part of the urban landscape."
The author really got her "I told you so" in early here. It is easy to be right if you are negative about everything and wait long enough.

Businesses are all expected to comply with the ADA, why not the city? Funnily enough, L.A. has been found to be out of compliance and settled multiple lawsuits about this exact issue. To the tune of 1.3 billion over 3 decades.

- weird-eye-issue 5y agoReally? You think it's the "city's responsibility to provide a perfectly manicured path from arbitrary point A to point B"? What if it was a small rock that somebody put there instead of tree roots? Would that be the city's fault too?
