A lot of people would find this undesirable, esp. considering the vast majority of food trucks only do service in Manhattan. An explosion of food trucks eating up already heavily trafficked road and parking spaces sounds like a bad idea.
- acdha 13y agoDrivers are not the only people who live in a city: if you walk, bike or use public transit, does it make sense for a parking space to go to a single driver (with no benefit to anyone else) or a food truck patronized by hundreds of people over the course of day? The main problem in Manhattan is that street parking rates are kept artificially low – as much as 40% of the traffic is due to people driving around hoping for a savings over garage parking.
