People walk through subway turnstiles and no one reacts. Vendors set up wherever there is space because waiting years for a permit is not realistic. The bill comes with extra charges that were never listed. Nobody pushes back. People register it and keep moving.

Great piece, and appreciate WEH's spin on the dining space (that intelligence/data feeds better results for restaurateurs). My worst fear is that our neighborhoods turn into barren wastelands served by armadas of scooters delivering "food" from ghost kitchens. [Just emailed you on the hellscape that is LinkedIn.]
