It is awesome and I live and work right in the middle of it. I see it as for every scooter zipping down the street, there is one less car on the road.
I always like to ask the people who complain about all the people moving here where they are from. 9 out of 10 complaining the most are themselves transplants. My response is "how about you take your whiny ass back to where you came from and let somebody who actually appreciates being here have your spot?"
The kids are moving here for good reason. It's great!

There’s lots of great restaurants but someone has decided that a cheeseburger and fries is worth $16 in every single one of them, regardless of quality. There are approximately 7,432,000 lime, bird, and razor scooters planted on every sidewalk in the city. It was illegal to ride them in the street or bike lane, but some hand wringers felt it was dangerous for pedestrians. Now it is ONLY legal to ride them in the street or a bike lane. So there’s teenage kids and hipster beards legally riding little electronic scooters through the already congested streets designed for 30% less traffic.
It’s awesome!
