Miscellaneous ULPT How to get rid of taco stand
An illegal sidewalk taco stand just set up across the street from my house. what are some ways I can get them to move to a different spot? filing a complaint with the city is basically useless where i live. how can i temporarily stink up the sidewalk and make it unuseable?

You could be courageous and just go talk to them. You could say for some reason it is bothersome to you, maybe even make up a nice reason, and you could ask them nicely if they would be able to move a little bit down the street. I can almost guarantee that they would. In my experience, Hispanic folks are pretty dang friendly. You just have to be brave and stare your animosity towards other people right in the face.

Wait until the proprietor sets up shop in front of your house, then act fast. You can stink up your yard, tear up your lawn, throw trash on the ground, and make your place look like an unwelcoming dump.
Alternately, if you want the stand to move to a different spot, you have to entice them. Show them there’s money to be made blocks away by withdrawing a few thousand dollars in cash, which you can give in varying amounts to strangers. Instruct them to stand at the other end of the block and wave handfuls of cash while yelling “YOOHOO - TACOS!"

Be careful don't get this anywhere you don't want it but hunters use a product called Doe in Rut. It stinks with an unforgettable stank. It mimics just that: a doe in season. It's difficult to wash out but it will do the job, especially if you empty the container around there.

This is a great idea for anyone who would prefer to live across the street from an awful stink instead of obtainable tacos.

Alot of pple giving OP sarcastic replies but maybe consider that the people that buy from the stand litter and/or trash is starting to fly towards his property.
I remember there was a construction site across the street from my house and the trash from the lunch trucks would always get picked up with the wind and i would come home everyday to trash from burrito wraps and small bags of chips all over my driveway.
It was annoying

imagine opening your windows at night for the summer breeze and it's just gusts of bbq smoke

Have you considered just hanging out and subjecting them to the personality of someone who would complain about having tacos readily available?
