I find it way more convenient to just be able to pick something up and then leave it again. In Austin the scooters still seem to be doing great -- they are everywhere and get tons of use. (And I don't hear too much hatred of them, unlike other places.) I thought they were cool in SF too before the city fucked it all up. I am sort of sympathetic to arguments that they look kind of janky lying all around. But come on, cars are 1000x times worse! We're just used to it. (And the scooters aren't nearly as deadly as cars -- both for accidents and for emissions.)
