Your anecdata isn’t evidence of anything, and there is a far greater on-balance positive EV to society for solving transportation problems. If we need to pay someone to mind the scooters in the accessible path, that’s a solution. It’s not a reason to discard the only solution that has produced results in the past 75 years.

What I take particular objection to is the suggestion that it’s my lack of empathy for folks needing accessible ramps that drives my affection for having a more convenient life where traffic problems can actually be solved.
