Here we go with privatizing public resources and assets again. It galls me to hear moronic, self-serving corrupt things like "...the growing economic case for deploying our streets differently, for use by more than cars." In a capitalist predatory economy and society like ours public resources and assets should almost never be used for private purposes, especially not for private profit, gain, or benefit of any kind. Whether it is clogging up the city of Austin for the monkey shit show that SXSW has turned into, or taking over public parking spaces for private enterprise profit it's corrupt misappropriation and misuse of public resources and funds. It's simply corrupt and the government, on all levels, should not be engaged in commercial revenue generation precisely because it invites corruption.
