- Austin, TX.
I live in a city that routinely places first, as the most desirable place to live, in the US. Austin is a high-tech center, right up there with Mountain View. We had driverless cars, from Google, cruising around, before any other cities had even heard of them.
Being high-tech, we routinely get new, trendy things thrown into the mix. For the past two years, or so, we've seen an explosion of electric scooter companies open. Now, on practically every major corner, you can see piles of discarded scooters. They are ugly and a safety hazard.
To clarify: I'm talking about the scooters you stand on. You find one by looking at an app, you rent one by swiping the code from your phone app to the scooter's reader.
If Austin was not pc, to the max, some city ordinances would mandate that the damn scooter companies provide racks, AND enforce such mandates with stiff fines. That's not Austin, though. It's too "groovy," for that.
What's the scooter scene in your town? Have you been hit with a scooter invasion?
