I agree with you. I think it's also worth reviewing regulations periodically to see if they still make sense.

For example, a few years ago when Uber moved into Sarasota, the taxi companies complained. The city did something remarkable - they eliminated the regulations that Uber wasn't complying with. AFAIK, there really haven't been any negative consequences.

You mean other than the externalities of running the business that Uber places on its drivers through them being contractors, using their own cars (no benefits, drivers pay for wear & tear and gas).

I don't believe the regulations that were repealed addressed any of that.

None at all? Not a single one? Did Uber pinky swear this?
