    That New York Post article is a hate-filled piece of garbage.

    For example, it hates against these “polarizing rat-riddled street dining shacks” (quote is from the article).

    I can guarantee you, i live in Vienna, we have these things all over the place. There’s at least 5 of them on my way from where i live to university. There’s never been any problems with them. In fact, they’re delicious and typically much cheaper than sit-in restaurants. That’s probably because they don’t have to pay for expensive rooms. That makes the food much cheaper, it’s typically around 5€ for a kebab (basically a sandwich) compared to 12€ for anything you get at a sit-in restaurant. I have gone to these street dining shacks every day for years and never had problems.

      Is that picture real? It looks like it should be a KenM post, talking about the very normal-looking restaurant shack instead of the prominent pile of un-binned garbage.

      It would be better to give the businesses and landlords some certainty and allow them to be built as a permanent structure. Add better trash holding infrastructure while they are at it.

      Nah, these are part of whatever restaurant is across the sidewalk. That does sound nice, but hasn’t been my experience with them. I haven’t eaten at all of them though, that’s for sure.
