All of that - except regulations are excessive particularly zoning and what are effectively artificial market controls. Both Taxi and Hotel industries are insider, regulatory capture monopoly frauds that need to be busted wide open. Most frustratingly, our stupid governments have not effectively adapted. There has been almost 0 rational policy adjustment since this change. Even more weird, even in cities where Uber was banned (don't agree with that, but it's the cities choice) - they just continued to operate, the effete city managers unable to do anything about it. We should have been experimenting with different lodging models for some time now. Utterly stupid cities could be making considerably more money with better taxi models, instead, they stay stupid, while Uber collects surpluses that could go into our civic infrastructure. It's a shame.
