Uber Partners with San Francisco Landlord to Subsidize Car-Free Tenants

Is there any fundamental difference between this and simply dropping rent by $100/month and charging $100/month for a parking space? Aside from the fact that carless tenants in that scenario could spend their $100/month on something other than transportation.

Interesting geofence idea - I wonder if that makes it worthwhile for neighbours to walk to their front door before ordering a ride? Or is this the kind of place where neighbours don't exist?

How about the landlord just pays tenants directly for not having a car in the area? Would the incentives come out wrong in such an arrangement?

Well, it&#x27;s a double edged sword.<p>Because when everyone stops using parking spots, driving in the city would become better due to better parking options.

I guess I have to consider their subsidies program when contrasted with their claims that submitting to municipal finger-printng regulations for their drivers here in Austin are &quot;too expensive.&quot;

the corporations are our friends!<p>&gt;According to Hawkins, &quot;[the] money can be used for public transit, taxis, and car-sharing, as long as at least $30 is put toward Uber.&quot;<p>oh wait maybe not
