Color me cynical, but I think that most of opposition to Uber stems not from desire for safety but simple desire to protect the incumbent profits. Moreover - the 'community' isn't really choosing anything. Instead it's some crony local politicians in the pocket of taxi lobby. If you want to do a referendum on whether Uber should be operating - I'll agree on the 'community' stance. Otherwise it's the minority who have the most to lose advocating against it.
