"Pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers" are just exhibiting barely concealed jealousy. Scooterists unite!...

I guarantee you the tipster was a neighbor who just didn't like that the building was being used for events. I'm sure he/she didn't give a rats ass about anyone's safety. We've got a city full of res...
