Very true! Cities in the US invest much too little in things like bike lanes and public transit which I think leads to the annoyingly car centric nature of US cities.

In some sense it’s not the taxi driver or ride share drivers fault they block the road or bike lanes it’s really just the system they are thrown into.

Ironically enough, cities that are less car centric are actually better for drivers, simply because less people HAVE to take cars.

I've progressively gotten more left over the years to the point where I think that certain crime, while it should not be tolerated, should not so much be punished rather than the root cause be fixed.

While I think a lot of overhaul can/should be done to mitigate this specific issue, taxi/ride share drivers are absolutely being incredibly selfish when they do this and it's completely unnecessary.
