A potentially good concept that has been ruined by corporate greed and a few bad apples in our society. I hope more cities ban them, because other rules and laws don't seem to be effective in reducing the problems.

There's a very effective solution - predefined parking spaces, and after getting a scooter you can only park them in one of those predefined spaces. It works that way in a lot of european cities, and it works well. The problem is the ability to leave them anywhere, it was chaos before they implemented the predefined parking spaces where I live.
