I didn't realize building the singularity would be so underwhelming.

Congrats, you bought into their marketing strategy. Remember when they used to argue rideshares would take cars off the road and reduce emissions through carpooling? People don't even remember why it's called ride-sharing in the first place. They basically lied in order to take over an industry using billionaire funds.

The point is that exactly what you think is happening isn't. The rideshare companies are propped up with investor funds. They were only able to capture the market because of unsustainably low pricing. It is not a fair fight at all.

It's pretty much the same deal at any airport I've been to in the past two years. Cabs have been way more efficient for me and sometimes cheaper. The only time I rideshare is when I return from an airport. You can say my experience doesn't matter, but that's a pretty weak argument imo.

When I go to the airport by my house there are tons of taxis just sitting there. I just get in and they take me to my house. The cost is the same or sometimes less than a rideshare.

If I try to do the same thing with a rideshare, I have to wait for 10-20 minutes for it to show up. The drivers are often inexperienced and don't know the shortcuts to get to my house (the area I live in is mapped inaccurately by Google). A lot of them speak zero English and me giving them directions hasn't helped.

You assume no one cares about what happens in Chicago or New York. Pretty typical of the tech attitude. If it doesn't affect CA it doesn't matter.

Lol now Uber and Lyft cost about the same and it's way harder to get a ride than it used to be so I guess tech didn't fix anything at all.

Also destroying functional institutions like taxi services and replacing them with unreliable substitutes that lower wages. That and gd Airbnb destroying housing affordability.

This is the real answer. Or even if they cook, choosing to make the gd unhealthiest stuff.

Those need special permitting and they usually can't be in spaces designed for offices without a ton of construction. So yes it could be done, but it would be super expensive in an already ass expensive area. It's why a ton of biotechs are moving to Texas.

Doesn't that only make sense if you are male and your species has no parental care or difficult gestation period?

Someone post this in r/LosAngeles

Um, what about the housing that was destroyed to make the new apartment buildings?
