Default Rent space on a public street?

My wife and I don't go out on New Years Eve anyway. We prefer to start the New Year the same way we ended the old year. By spending time with someone we actually care about.
That being said, I still don't understand this renting stuff. I'm not a lawyer type person that knows all the answers. How in the world can anyone or anyplace block off a public street and charge rent for it's usage?
I understand the Palosi fiasco and when they have parades and such. But to tie up public roads for a party and charge monies for a spot on that same public thoroughfare?
Isn't that against the law? Maybe I could close off Morse Ave for a few hours and charge people for a chair and a table to enjoy a sunset or something. Seems like it amounts to the same thing.
But then again ...... that's just my opinion.

Neat bumper sticker. Went like this: "It's God's job to judge terrorists. Our job is to arrange the meeting!"

Be a gentleman, remove your hat/cap when entering a building and dining out!
