Sure, if it attracts people to my business, great. But what if I am a business in LSL? Do you suppose CityFire can rope off a few parking places along the road and cut through the sidewalk to install outlets near the carts? What about Gators, which spots would they reserve for charging?

Outback either owns or leases the parking spots, either owns or can work with the owner of the sidewalk, can choose to pay for the installation of the outlets, and can pay for the electric. A business expense that may or may not draw in more customers. The businesses at the squares do not have those options.
