The county should act; assign parking spaces for these things, fine the companies if they find any outside of the designated spaces. The companies can sort it out with their customers.

We are seeing the same thing with electric scooters and bikes (and they get torched sometimes), they get parked anywhere and the county's on board with it because it's "green".

This was NOT as much of a problem with rental bikes in e.g. London, because they had designated stations for picking up and parking them; the user would get charged extra if they did not park their bike up properly.




We gave about 95% of the street for cars+parking cars, and are now frustrated that the sidewalks aren’t wide enough for mixed use.

There would be no issues with fitting the bikes and the scooters, if the middle of the street was also freely available


The Netherlands has the best worldwide biking infrastructure and decent walking infrastructure, and these things are a blight here too.

They're just parked and discarded wherever because the users don't care and there aren't logical places for them, contrary to people's own property.


This regulatory overreaction is how we got to the present environment where nobody can build anything anywhere and we have a housing crisis that is severely harming people around the world. No thanks.
