It is very frustrating that, even in this otherwise-good @verge overview of the past and future of shared micromobility in the wake of Bird's bankruptcy, that there is zero mention of the completely-unresolved issue of blocking sidewalks and rendering them inaccessible. https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/21/24010902/bird-bankrupt-electric-scooter-micromobility-ridership-future

My contrarian take: It's good actually that these companies had a good multiyear run and are now flaming out. People who tried them, like them, and use them frequently will buy their own devices.

There are no shared micromobility fleets in Camberville (except public docked Bluebikes), but plenty of micromobility devices out and about, and sidewalks are still accessible. Private ownership of micromobility devices should be the policy goal.
