    SF leftists want to limit Uber and Lyft

    "Oh, it's so awful! There's too many Uber and Lyft driving capitalists in our socialist Utopia (Hellhole)! Hold a hearing and ban them!"

    For those who don't know, traffic has been terrible for decades in SF. Uber and Lyft are not the problems.

    Report finds 5,700 Uber, Lyft drivers operating on San Francisco streets during typical weekday | abc7news.com

    SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A report found that more than 5,700 Uber and Lyft vehicles operate in San Francisco during a typical weekday peak period.

    The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority will hold a hearing Tuesday at City Hall to review that newly released report on ridesharing and its impact on traffic in the city.

    Ride-hailing services average more than 170,000 trips within the city each weekday, 12 times higher than the number of trips taken by taxis.

    During peak periods, they make up about 20 to 25 percent of vehicle trips in downtown San Francisco.

    Click here to read the full report.

    This report comes on the heels of complaints that their drivers increase congestion downtown, double park while waiting to pick up or drop off passengers, and draw out-of-town drivers who move erratically trying to find their way around unfamiliar streets.

    You can be charged as a sex offender in California for urinating in public. But somehow in San Francisco (h.o.m.o haven) that is not enforced.

    That's a key part of the article. When businesses, firms, and individuals engage in actions that have high social costs, people usually turn to the law to set things straight.

    There have always been taxis. Without that type of service, probably more people would drive their own vehicles. More traffic, especially driving around looking for a parking spots. Or more space needed for parking garages.

    With the recent music festivals and Stanley Cup finals in or near the most friendly city in America, you couldn't swing a dead rat without hitting an Uber or Lyft. They come here from ten states to make money. We were kind of glad to be able to find one to go to the airport that week to go see our grandkids.

    The good thing about Lyft (what we used), we could keep the drivers on file in our app and request them next time. If you get a cranky bus or cab driver, you're on your own. We were in NYC for a week, and besides being a liberal garbage dump, the people are cranky.

    That may be true. It would be interesting to look at the data and the case being made, which will purportedly happen during this hearing.

    That may be true sometimes, but in this case, blaming Uber and Lyft for the status quo is an excuse to punish what the SF hip left believe is right-wing capitalism. Perhaps you are unaware of the politicization of Uber.

    They might as well say "Uber is causing more fog".

    "Right-wing capitalism?" What is that?

    Have you looked at what is going on in SF and the Bay Area? It is the shining beacon of how capitalism creates wealth. SF people actually like capitalism, but just want to fetter it a little bit. They don't treat it like a religion like some do...and look at that, the economy of California is one of the strongest in the world.

    From what I know, Lyft isn't being "punished" or blamed all that much. Once in a while, people will complain about shoddy background checks and causing traffic congestion (like in this case), but they haven't received the vitriol that Uber has because they haven't had the issues Uber has had. Uber's had the issues with sexual harassment/assault, the questionable labor practices, the issues with how they treat whistle-blowers, Greyball, the issues with tracking people without their knowledge, Kalanick joining Trump's council, the whole thing in New York, the allegations of stealing technology, etc. etc.

    No, they turn to order, not law. Law precedes man, not the other way around.

    A key part that sinks what individuals and businesses do is the rent control. SF has it. Bad things happen when you impose rent control and rent stabilization. These includes the the congestion, traffic, and double parking mentioned in the article.

    I also don't know what is meant by "erratic" driving of out-of-towners. Sounds like some whiners.

    A little bit? No, a lot. California consistently ranks near the bottom of the 50 states on many types of freedoms:

    Overall freedoms-49
    labor freedom-50
    victimless crime-50
    occupational licensing-50
    land use-48
    fiscal freedom-46
    regulatory freedom-48
    economic freedom-49

    I will hand it to California in some areas. They do well in personal freedoms and areas like alcohol, weed, cable, tobacco, and travel. California is rich in natural resources, so they should do well economically. California is first among the states in agriculture. They rank first in the production of both lettuce and tomatoes. California produces almost all of the country's almonds, figs, dates, kiwi, olives, prunes, pistachios, pomegranates, and walnuts. It leads all states in the production of lemons, apricots, avocados, nectarines, plums, peaches, plums, raspberries, and strawberries. The squid catch is larger than any other state. Crabs are the 2nd most valuable fish catch.

    The above combined means that over 1/3 of the United States' vegetables & 2/3 of the country's fruits and nuts are grown in California. (World Book Encyclopedia, 2017).

    Perhaps everyone should be so lucky to live on fertile land.

    No, but they treat regulation like a religion. My observation is that government is God for the progressive. They even acknowledge as much with their humanist philosophy.

    Here's an article about it:


    Right wing capitalism : a disease
    By Coral Atlas


    [Excerpt:]

    To this day America has been brain-washed by capitalists and capitalism - in fact the industrialized world has used capitalism to justify screwing 7 billion human beings on earth as well as all other forms of life.

    Profit has been promoted as a good and even necessary thing ... which is a lie. Profit cannot exist when there is no need.

    I had occasion to ride in a couple of cabs last week. Not a fun experience. The cabs are not individually owned and are filthy. Uber and Lyft are personal vehicles and the owners treat them well. They are also kind and courteous. Someone who works for himself will usually do the best he can. A hireling is just trying to get through the day.

    Uber and Lyft and cheaper.

    Part of the reason Uber and Lyft drivers are more courteous is because Uber and Lyft customers are more courteous. The reason for that is because there is a two-way rating system - customers and drivers get rated. Customer don't want bad ratings because it is harder to get a car to come pick them up. Drivers need good ratings to remain on the platform, and I think it gives them some priority on rides in some cases.

    Taxi drivers have to deal with customers who make them wait forever, make all sorts of demands and are rude all with no repercussions. So cab drivers tend to be more rude to the customers because that is how they are often treated. On the other hand, customers have to deal with cabs taking 30-60 minutes to get to their house, sometimes they never show up. And on top of that, they often have to deal with a dirty cab and a rude driver. They may take them all over the city and charge them more.

    With Uber and Lyft, you know where your driver is from the moment you book the ride. You can track them to your pickup location, track the route to the destination and review it afterward. If they take a long route, you can request that Uber reduce your fare to reflect the recommended route by the GPS.

    These Dr. No's who come in here and don't know wtf they are talking about feel like dinosaurs to me. Uber and Lyft have increased the marketshare for taxi-type services by like 10 fold or more. DUIs go down significantly in areas with Uber and Lyft. To consider restrictions on a company that is providing a much needed service that was not being provided before, and then promote it on a liberty website is retarded.

    California has a good economy despite the left wing socialism and heavy government burdens, not because of it. Several factors make this happen. Location more than anything.

    You have confirmed the main premise of this thread, that this is not based on status quo issues like traffic, but a political vendetta. It's not just Uber, the native, non-tech left also despises most tech companies. Even from within a happy tech bubble, a person would have to notice when protesters block their private luxury company bus.

    Yes, because California's agriculture sector is the main reason for its prosperity. Silicon Valley popped up and continues to thrive under the super-regulated California system.

    Look at that Cato study; the states that rank the best in terms of regulatory and economic freedoms are the flyover states (save for like, Florida).

    Really? Progressives treat government like God, even when constantly criticizing and questioning government. I don't like some aspects of progressivism due to the naivete, focus on outcomes, and some other things. But the idea that progressives treat government like God is a silly attack. That's like saying you treat government like it is literally Satan.

    How so? What am I saying that seems strange to you? Have I said that Uber and Lyft haven't done great things? Are you saying that all their good things wipe away all the bad things? Is that how life works?

    The good does not wash out the bad, nor the bad the good. If you can keep the benefits those companies create while reducing some of the social costs, that is a good endeavour. And the fact that Uber, at least, has been a boon for drivers and riders doesn't change all the questionable things they have done.

    Your problem is that you aren't nearly as clever as you think you are. You've jumped to the conclusion that I am English based off an analysis of my writing, without considering the mutliple other reasons why I write as I do. Typically, you have a narrative and an idea, and will just stick to that narrative regardless of the facts.

    In this thread, at least, the only things I've said that qould require citation would be the grievances against Uber, and that is common knowledge.

    Quote Originally Posted by Brian4Liberty View Post

    It isn't that simple. For example, big government has grown California's post-secondary education system into an incredibly strong system. That foundation is a huge reason for California's economic success. The state-funded research programs also draw in many innovators to the state. And, of course, they've built up all the public infrastructure to support the large economy. And their personal liberty laws help draw people to the state. They fund all these things via taxation.

    Of course, California's natural resources, weather, help. The attitudes people have towards minorities and immigrants helps ensure that the best people will want to live there. The attitudes around work/life balance, tolerance, etc. all help.

    On the other hand, of course, some socialist policies hurt. Rent control, regulations on construction, etc. have kept housing prices high and scared away companies and talent. Similarly, I'm sure social attitudes have scared off bright conservatives from coming to California and starting businesses.

    Are you sure? I mean, I can't see any kind of political vendetta against Lyft. Perhaps the anger at Uber has leaked over into this issue, but it doesn't mean that the claims about traffic/congestion are meritless.

    Really? If anything is "God" in progressive California, it is Apple, with Google being the second-most-worshipped religion. Where do you get this idea that the non-tech left despises tech companies? Or do you just think that way because it fits your narrative, or because perhaps you despise tech companies?

    The basis of a good economy is natural resources. If not for California's diverse natural resources, Silicon Valley is markedly reduced to nonexistent.



    Look at that Cato study;..
    Yes, I looked at it. I'm the one who told you about it.



    the states that rank the best in terms of regulatory and economic freedoms are the flyover states (save for like, Florida).

    No, not even close. The "flyover" states vary widely in their amount of freedom, both overall and individual categories. For example, South Dakota and Indiana consistently rank at the top of the freedom list. Ohio and Illinois consistently rank low.

    But the idea that progressives treat government like God is a silly attack.
    You're the one who said some people treat capitalism like religion. I was just borrowing your own silly attack.


    And that person describes all progressives/liberals?
    You asked the question, "'Right-wing capitalism?'" What is that?" I was answering you.


    Your problem is that you aren't nearly as clever as you think you are.
    Neither are you. I don't need to be clever with people like you. Your shilling here is obvious. Duh.



    You've jumped to the conclusion that I am English based off an analysis of my writing, without considering the mutliple other reasons why I write as I do. Typically, you have a narrative and an idea, and will just stick to that narrative regardless of the facts.
    I asked you the facts, but you declined to say. If you want to share, then feel free.


    In this thread, at least, the only things I've said that qould require citation would be the grievances against Uber, and that is common knowledge.
    No, that is hardly common knowledge. A lot of people have never even heard of Uber.

    Dr. No,

    You are British or Australian or similar. You're not from the U.S. If you'd care to provide your credentials and reason for being on this forum, then here's your chance.

    You might also consider listening to people here who are actually from the U.S. instead of being a contrarian who does not know the culture or facts. You have two ears and one mouth for a reason. Listen more; talk less.

    So, big boy, here is your chance to provide your "mutliple other reasons why [you]...write as [you] do."

    Thanks. I'm still guessing he's British origin based on his other words and maybe another thing or two. I could be wrong, but guessing Dr No is a British Jew. All the shenaniganists here are Jewish.

    Keep telling yourself that.

    I didn't say total freedom, I said economic and regulatory freedom. Is Illinois a flyover state?

    Really? Don't argue in bad faith. A simple google search would verify those stories. You can't expect us to have inline citations for every post.

    How could I provide my credentials? I didn't realize you could only be on this form for certain reasons. I've stated my reasons before. If you have an issue with me, take it up with the mods.

    I'm guessing you went to the SJW school of argumentation.

    Maybe I just like the English way of writing. Maybe I'm using an auto-correct app that corrects everything to the English spelling.

    BTW, like a regressive, you lump TheCount, Zippy, and I all together even though we've had some big disagreements that have aired out on these forums. I'm guessing you're going to say that is just smokescreen.

    Google searching is not your "common knowledge."



    I've stated my reasons before.
    Where?

    Maybe, but you're not. You're British and Jewish, right?

    Do you want inline citations for every single claim? Uber's issues have been a big part of the news. Are any of the stories I talked about false?

    Numerous times, but I think most recently in the thread in the main Ron Paul sub-forum.

    For the record, no. But why would it matter, anyways? Can only Americans non-Jews be a part of this forum? Ugly identity politics.

    You said all this stuff is "common knowledge." Common knowledge might be the sky is blue, not some taxi story.




    Numerous times,
    No, I did not see it. Please post.

    For the record?!
    What record?

    If it does not matter, then why not discuss it?




    Can only Americans non-Jews be a part of this forum?
    Of course not; however, it's very interesting how you are so evasive and make up silly theoretical reasons as to why you might use British spellings.
