I am 100% in favor of more regulation when it comes to transportation in cities. Solutions like Uber, scooters etc strike me as great ideas; but also somewhat inevitable, and would have benefitted from a growth process other than "all the Silicon Valley VC money fueling everything." (I still maintain that a movement to enshrine the idea that these scooters left around where someone lives fall under the legal category of "mislaid property" and anyone finding one as such gets to keep it and modify as they wish.)

The positive spin on these companies is they've been pretty solid VC-funded programs for providing transportation to the homeless population and spare parts to hobby hackers.
