Think about this logically for a moment.
Uber :- The world's largest taxi company and it doesn't own a single cab.
- Cities all charge a premium (100k+) for taxi permits but Uber pays nothing
- Uber drivers almost never get proper insurance
- Most Uber drivers never pay tax on their earnings
- Uber pays very little in taxes
AirBnB:- Destorys low cost affordable housing by creating defacto hotels
- Almost no home owner on AirBnB pays the manditory "hotel tax."
- Most AirBnB owners never declaire their income
- AirBnB often creates problems with parking and traffic congestion in neighborhoods
So it's no wonder many cities don't want Uber or Airbnb.
