Is there a major US city where taxis are not regulated and licensed (by medallion or otherwise) creating an artificial scarcity?

I'm not familiar enough with the US taxi bylaws to answer that.

Is there a particular reason you are restricting scope to only the US? Taxis and "ride sharing" organizations are an international phenomenon: I'd say the majority of jurisdictions do not have medallions. And the upstream point remains - most taxis can now be hailed via mobile apps.
