Do you really believe that no regulation is the answer? Look at airbnb and the detrimental effects it has on cities. Residential areas are residential for a reason. It must be horrible to wake up one day and find that your neighbour has decided to turn into an unregulated hotel. |

Secondly if the prior taxi system is evidence of regulation i think it's a safe assumption to make that regulations helped neither the consumer or the providers. Uber in SF is doing 3-4x what the entire taxi system was doing prior, that's evidence of demand not being met. Artificially restricting supply is never a good idea.
Uber is only doing so well because people prefer their service to the alternatives, people aren't stupid, they can do what is best for themselves.
