you want to stifle New Orleans' great food scene
Yes, this is my intent.
I'm concerned about the long term economic health of the city. Tourism is our main industry. Food trucks are new, and as I stated already if they can meld into the community without causing a negative impact I'm for them. I'm just not so sure that is the case. If you wish to level the playing field, eliminate property taxes on restaurants, and other service costs then we can talk. 10 jobs is > 2.

Austin has 1000+ food trucks
Their economy seems to be doing just fine

You keep saying this as though its gospel when I'm showing you clear evidence of an alternative. Again, this is not a zero sum game.
