They are super convenient. Cars are the nuance. We will figure out how to deal with scooters the same way Asian cultures figured out theirs. And the same we we figured out how to socially deal with cell phones.

Straight banning them because a bunch of fuddy duddies who never took one don’t like them is pretty short sighted.

They did? When? Here in Tokyo, they've only very recently allowed e-scooters to be used.
