The streets of Midtown are already a graveyard of failed urban planning. Now officials want to regulate the pedicab chaos. They claim they are targeting price gouging and disorder. It is just another layer of bureaucracy for a city that is already suffocating.

The plan targets several points of failure.

• Predatory pricing in the midst of urban decay.
• Increased traffic congestion from unmanaged fleets.
• The formalization of street level disorder.

The regulators think they can fix the chaos with more rules. They cannot. The prices are already high because the system is broken. Managing the chaos will not bring back the city. It will only ensure the decline is more orderly.
