Why wouldn't/shouldn't Boston or any other municipality not remove/impound every rental bike parked in an illegal spot, especially at expired meters preventing the use of the parking space by other users? And of course charge the owner of the rental bike/scooters a hefty fine for return of every impounded bike/scooter. Problem of illegally parked bike/scooters would be quickly resolved.
