Wow talk about an extreme position.
Hey, then there's people like me who have relied on Lyft and Uber for years because we don't drive. Even in a city like SF, there are places that are hard to reach without a car.
- wpietri 3y agoThe notion that money-losing companies should go out of business isn't extreme. That's mainstream chamber-of-commerce thinking. And that's before we even get to the criminal stuff. What's fooled you here is that you've been on the receiving end of a subsidy for a long time. I promise that people got around SF before Uber appeared, and they'll be getting around after it's gone.
- ghaff 3y agoWhat is probably true is that Uber/Lyft (plus short-term rentals for those willing/able to drive but wanting to forgo car ownership) have made going carless more doable at the margins in some places without incurring huge costs. It's probable in the coming years some people will probably be forced to rethink their lifestyle choices.
