Essentially they are attempting to build a full service restaurant in rented parking spaces, changing from a cart to a building. Food carts are great, but it is activities by a few that can lead to serious consequences for all vendors – like a ban.

There seems to be an element of unfair competition too. Even the $1,200 a month lease mentioned is not anywhere near as expensive as that a standard restaurant pays. It is beginning to appear that there is a double standard – food carts versus in place restaurants.

These are alleged to be movable (food) carts, but once they are nailed down and have added structure for occupation by the public – responsibility ensues. One might argue the fees are high, but that is another story.

Commissioner Leonard might just be right – this time.
