My only problem with this is that they’re basically parked clogging city streets and neighborhoods. Just like street vendors, usurping the space shared by nearby owners and businesses. Public lands should not be abused in this manner. How do you nearby businesses and homeowners recoup the loss on their property value and business access?
Price of regulation. Restaurants in Omaha are failing because for a new buyer, any and all equipment must be brought up to code. Rumor was when Gorat’s steakhouse was sold, the new owner had to invest close to a million dollars with upgrades. How many people can afford that? Food trucks were prevalent in Omaha before COVID. $1M vs. $50k? The answer is easy.
Same with real estate taxes. We’re funding retirement funds of workers, teachers etc. who are retiring at 55 not fixing roads or infrastructure.
