I disagree with many of the points made by the article. I just found that last quote to be the one that best summed-up the problem the cabbies find themselves in.
I’m a believer in mobility: if life isn’t working in NYC, then perhaps move to another place with fewer drivers and a lower cost of living. Just because you like a place and have roots there doesn’t mean life should be affordable and lovely. Much of human history is the story of leaving one place for another, in search of better living conditions.
It seems that they—like publishers were!—are mentally stuck in an old paradigm. Transportation has changed; adapt or move on.
