Most of the food shacks are hazardous garbage, ill-regulated, poorly built, a danger to diners and passersby. No surprise, they are promoted by the Economic Development Agency, the favorite go-to for scurrilous urban predators.
Perhaps this story will lead to careful attention to the downside of the blight lights, hanging wires, tripping ramps, loitering customers, stashed bikes, polluted vehicular air swirling around diners, smashable and richocheting traffic targets, all around invasive species infecting public walkways.
Where are the Police, Fire, Sanitation, Transportation, Health and Building Departments to get control of this favela pestilence?
It will require the District Attorney to light fire under "smart city" officials where Mr. Ganzer tried.
