For years street vendors have been run off of city sidewalks for health and safety reasons. Now, the mayor has opened sidewalks to restaurants, free of charge. This is hypocritical and must be corrected, our columnist lucaspeterson writes:
When the coronavirus shut the city down, there were few in the food community more affected than street vendors.
In the context of flattening the COVID-19 curve, instituting a temporary moratorium on vending was understandable. But with L.A. restaurants given the green light to reopen their dining rooms last week and with protesters flooding the streets, the ban on sidewalk and street vending for the sake of public safety seems more and more absurd.
