<div>Good evening, everyone!</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Looking for feedback on food trucks. They are popular, they are here, and people want them downtown!</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Well, most people, except these people:</div>
<div dir="ltr">1) People who argue that they unfairly take business away from B&M restaurants; and</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">2) People who argue that they are treated more favoribly than B&M eateries because they don’t contribute to tax base, EIDs, paking, etc.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I know how I would respond to those arguments, but I’m curious how successful downtowns have overcome these to establish a downtown-friendly food truck infrastructure, either with a good sales pitch or with regulations, etc. that “level the playing
field”.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Thanks!</div>
