THE LEGITIMACY TRAP: Street Vending Heterogeneity and Selective Enforcement in San Francisco

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Literature on street vending regulation often emphasizes the challenges in enforcing legal frameworks due to unclear laws or insufficient state capacity. However, it tends to overlook diversity among vendors themselves along crucial parameters such as spatial location, community ties and processes of goods procurement.
