Ride sharing, short term rentals, Crypto, and AI?
Correct.
I'm paying $900 for a short term (week and a half), last minute, airbnb, I'm meeting with a potential roommate tmr to move in on the 1st. Paying real rent instead of paying airbnb hosts.
Oh no the terrible ride sharing!
Wrong definition there bud.
Ridesharing still gets you the 33 cars.
Yeah, when it was "Hey, I drive to work every day, anyone else on this same route want to pay a bit for gas and share my ride?". It was kind of fine.
But now its just flat out people's "job" as a cabbie without proper cabbie regulation.
Sure, as long as everyone's going to the same place at the same time, and washes and doesn't blast horrendous trap music on a JBL.
Ride sharing does not remove cars from the roads, typically they take only one person to one place. Actual solutions include LRT, BRT, Metros, U-Bahns, S-Bahns, and REM style automated light rail.
it reduces cars in public parking lots and spaces though, which is nice
But those cars are now in the streets moving to the next customer, basically trading parking to traffic
Yes but at the direct cost of drivers that tend to be more reckless
ime rideshare drivers are generally incredibly good at driving, so I trust their judgement. Are there stats that they get in more crashes?
