an official for the Department of Public Works told Moore that he has to fork over the money he saved for his first month’s rent to purchase a $491 sidewalk vendor permit.

• The city bureaucrat who clamped down on Moore did so after reading about his success in the newspaper.

• A spokesman for the city’s Department of Public Works described the city’s interaction with Moore as an “educational” experience for Moore.

• The city official wouldn’t tell Moore what building he needed to visit to get the permit, because she didn’t know.

• When Moore was able to collect the money (which included donations from his outraged customers), got the right forms, and found the right office, they wouldn’t take his money, because he didn’t have a government-issued photo ID.
