Which is a perfectly reasonable position whether or not someone agrees in this particular case. We have lots of laws that, for some combination of good and bad reasons, keep services from being as cheap as they might otherwise be.

I have trouble being upset that fewer people will want to afford higher Uber prices. People managed before Uber and it's mostly a luxury good anyway. To be honest, when Uber's management changed, the sensible thing--VC money notwithstanding--would have been to start pricing the service at what it cost.
