Oddly Houston has always been a wildcatter's town. People come here specifically to make money. I promise they're not here for the climate. People here are more entreprenurial than other places I've lived. People here have their own style of counter culture that more resembles a lack of f*s to give. Texans feel like they can do whatever they want. You'd think that would be great for business, and it is, the state and specifically Houston have done great during the recession. However tech just lags here.

How do you explain the pushback against Uber then?

[CoachRufus87]

Fyi, San Francisco just sued Uber.

The interests of a business community don't necessarily reflect that of a local government.
