President Pro Tem Barbara Bry has called for a moratorium on electric scooters, saying, “enough is enough – scooter companies have had their opportunity.”
Looks like the Good Burghers of San Diego have gotten tired of the e-scooter business model - externalizing social costs and ignoring the rules. They’re considering getting rid of them. On the downside we’ll see fewer Avengers and Anime characters on scooters. On the plus side with fewer units out there the companies will hemorrhage money a little more slowly. Or maybe that’s another downside.
In any case, it’s nice to see a city take notice and try to hold the companies accountable.
