During the initial lawless period when 8 vendors were all trying to get a piece of the market, we got "pissy" about asshats leaving them strewn across sidewalks in front of entrances instead of parking them so that you wouldn't have to step over/around them just to get/leave home. The vendors would also tend to leave a dozen or two recharged scooters at corners every couple of days completely blocking people from using crosswalks because setting them up so they wouldn't be obstacles "took too long" for the freelancers that were picking up discharged scooters, recharging them and just dumping them wherever it was most convenient for _them_.
Then Paris eliminated all but three of the companies authorized in Paris, outlawing parking them on sidewalks and eliminated tens of thousands of public parking spots to create dedicated scooter parks "so that there would be spots throughout Paris where people could pick them up and drop them off".
Two major problems with that:
1) They chose the choicest parking spaces to privatize for these scooter parks, removing them defacto from everyone that used to use them generating lots of discontent from people who were already driving around for dozens of minutes to find a place to park their cars.
2) Asshats continued to drop scooters off right on sidewalks in front of building entrances instead of leaving them in a scooter park a few meters away. They claimed that it was a tiny minority doing so but my eyes said otherwise.
And all that is without getting into how people using them were doing so without respecting any any traffic laws with total impunity from the police who were told to leave them alone instead of giving them tickets when driving the wrong way up one way streets.
Good damned riddance.
