Treat them like vehicles and fine the owners.

I mean, I appreciate the idea of micromobility and electric alternatives to cars and such, but I also get why cities might hate them. People park like shit, the scooters are maintained poorly, the whole concept of scooters is dangerous as fuck in normal traffic. E-bikes are far superior and the mode of transportation that should be pushed. That, and people should stop ruining good things for everyone by being dicks.

I agree with the city on this one. Until the issues regarding user safety, reckless driving, maintenance, and proper storage locations are addressed and solved, e-scooters should not be rented out like this.
