The thing is so many people store their cars incorrectly nothing is usually done, so poorly parked cars and scooters are about the same problem -- except that a poorly parked car is potentially life threatening whereas a poorly parked scooters is annoying.

This is patently false, as not only public entities (i.e., law enforcement and local governments) but also private companies (private tow operators) create and invest in specific services to address the problem.

So,once a whole industry emerges to tackle a problem then obviously something is being done.

I assume from this comment you don’t live in SF? Because they do very quickly ticket and/or tow.

They also frequently sweep up any tents put up by homeless people.

San Francisco is an outlier.

I used to frequently see a meter maid waiting by a car parked right outside the office, until the hour turned and he could ticket the whole row.

In both cases, it's part of your civic duty to report cases like these. There must be a phone number in your city that you can call when you see someone parked a car (or a scooter) in a place where it's a) illegal, and b) is causing troubles.
