I guess your assumption is that every one gave up on buying car and instead every day they drive to work. The impression i have from my friends is different: they use lyft when they cant take car or want to drink while with strong economy the can afford having car as well. I dont know any single person who would sell their car because they can travel with lyft to work every single day.


Really? My experience has been extremely different, albeit both of us only really have antidotes.

My friends/coworkers who got jobs in the city directly after college all don't have cars. Think 2013-2018 graduates. The only ones with cars, either grew up in the bay, or have worked outside the city at some point. Mind you these are all people who have a license in their prior state/country.


How many of these people would stay in SF if Lyft/Uber were banned entirely?


At first most if not all, but it might play a part in their long term goals. Hard to say though.


You meant "anecdotes", right? Autocorrect, probably.


Lets go with that ;)
