Living in a cold city of steel and iron, I really look forward to the old roadside stalls with fireworks and gas, and miss the prosperity of the night market, the delicious snacks on the roadside stalls, and the spectacular scenes of eel and bacon hanging high all over the street. It is the various lives and businesses of ordinary people that build the vitality and vitality of the city. Now all this is expected to reappear, and many people are excited. Besides the return of fireworks, many people also see the hope of life.
Although the New Deal has just come out, it is still some time before it is officially implemented. Many people on the Internet are already gearing up and planning to do some small roadside business in the future to relieve the economic distress under the epidemic.
despite this, there has never been any lack of worries about opening up stalls. It seems that the bigger the city, the lower the tolerance for street vendors. This is not only because a large number of mobile vendors gather, which may cause traffic jams, environmental degradation, food safety and other problems, as if "going back to ten years ago overnight", but also because they are worried that vendors everywhere are incompatible with the image of big cities, and will also lead to resource mismatch-if everyone goes to set up stalls, who will spend so much money to buy stores and pay rent? Will the city fall into a low-quality development cycle?
can a modern metropolis have the flavor of the city and fireworks?
in foreign countries, this is no longer a problem. In metropolises like new york, London, and Paris, there are many street vendors and markets. Instead of pulling back the city, they have become a beautiful and unique landscape, increasing the charm of the city. There is no need to worry that night markets and stalls will steal the business of the surrounding businesses, because the goods sold by them are different, corresponding to different consumer classes and consumption preferences, and will not constitute direct competition. On the contrary, stalls will bring a steady stream of people to shops, especially to activate the night economy. Large shopping malls close on time at night. In the past, consumers had few choices and went home directly after work. If the street stalls are released, the night market will prosper, the consumption opportunities will increase, and the potential consumer demand will be activated, and shops will also benefit.
all this proves that as long as it is properly managed, roadside stalls and city appearance do not conflict with the economic orientation of metropolis. It's just that in the past, urban habits were only blocked. In order to pursue the glamour of the surface, the hawkers were suppressed blindly, and the occupation of the road was killed with a stick, which not only impaired the vitality and vitality of the city, but also made many people lose the opportunity to make a living in big cities. And no matter how humble an individual is, he has the right to live. Setting up a stall may not make much money, but it's better than sitting at home and eating nothing, and it's better than no hope.
In the current difficult economic times, any measures that can promote employment and protect people's livelihood are worth trying, especially believing in the power of the market and the creativity of the people. If the so-called city appearance, sanitation and image of the city are allowed to expand and the plight of their survival is ignored, it may lead to a greater crisis.
Although the stall economy helps to restore the social flexibility under the epidemic situation, people also hope that it is not an expedient measure to tide over the difficulties for * * *, and it is not just a temporary need. No matter whether there is an epidemic or not, there will be unemployed people and people with financial difficulties in cities. Setting up stalls can enable them to live a dignified life, and banning them across the board is equivalent to cutting off the opportunity for the bottom to strive for survival. This time, Shanghai clearly put forward that it is necessary to change the simplistic style that was banned in the past and seek a balance between city appearance management and people's livelihood needs. This makes people see some hope that mobile hawkers can also become a fixed part of the landscape of big cities, instead of being chased by urban management or the so-called destroyer of the city appearance.
