Comment on Raspberry pi 4 inside abandoned scooters

  In my city, we have strict parking designated zones and you have to take a photo. If it’s left on the sidewalk or road, it won’t let you end the trip, implies it will fine you, plus they’ll send someone to move it.

    Likewise. I live in an extremely high foot traffic/high scooter traffic area (beach town in SoCal) and I very rarely see them anywhere outside of the designated zones.

  I’m glad you’re not over exaggerating or anything

    I didn’t say they block every sidewalk in the city. I said when they DO it’s extremely disruptive. Relax.

    I walk 20 minutes each way to and from work, and every single day at least once I’m having to skirt around a stack of scooters that some asshole has just dumped in the middle of the footpath blocking most of it.

    I’m able bodied so at worst it’s annoying having to walk on the muddy grass, but if I was in anyway disabled - required a wheelchair, or a mobility scooter, or just crutches - it will effectively render the footpath impassable.

    If the scooter companies are going to take over public property for their own private property, they should at a minimum be paying to rent space from the city - same as if you want to hold a private concert in a public park

    S/He is not. Even one blocked sidewalk means that I need to double back on the block if I am using my wheelchair. One scooter is all it takes, and depending on the length of the block, it can easily add 20 minutes to a commute.
