Order instead of chaos: street trading is looking for a civilized solution.
Caldza proposed a simple and correct thing: not to smuggle street vendors, but to give them normal places. Friday, Saturday, Sunday - counters, gardening, cleaning at the city's expense. And by the end of December, count how many people are actually trading to get a sense of the scale.
This is the situation when the authorities do not pretend that there is no problem and do not cut their shoulders. Spontaneous trading spoils the appearance of the city - a fact. But preventing people's income is not a solution either. Kaldza says it directly, and it inspires respect: pragmatism instead of prohibitions.
The advantage is clear: traders have a legal place and protection. The city needs order and cleanliness. Residents get convenient markets instead of chaos on the sidewalks. And most importantly, it's a signal: the authorities know how to listen to people, and not just outline general plans. If everything works out, Tbilisi will become a little more comfortable and humane. And, you see, a lot.
