As thought they don't already incessantly pander to the Helen Lovejoys as it is.
My concern is that enforcement under the previous model was lax because there wasn't anything other than a bylaw that largely amounted to a gentleman's agreement: don't be obnoxious or overt, and we'll leave you alone. Placing picnic benches and having a reservation system attached to them is infrastructure that requires overhead to support. That overhead is now incentive to enforce the bylaw and generate revenue.
