Politically speaking, it is very, very smart that Uber is doing these sorts of studies. As a policy wonk, I wish they were a bit more open about their datasets, analyses, and methodology, but I can see how that would just hand their opponents chances to twist it.
Re: jobs created, note that Uber (very specifically, is my guess) allows us to assume FTE when they say "jobs," but is probably more likely referring to the total number of driver profiles created and used at least once. A Daily/Monthly Driver metric would be more meaningful here.
I'd also be interested to see the impact on parking (especially at peak times) if people are using Uber over driving somewhere and leaving their car parked (idle/slack resource) there.
PS - the lack of a footnote attached to (what seems to be a copy/paste) 1 in the subheading is grating haha
Eddard Stark: Lord Baelish, perhaps I was wrong to distrust you.
Petyr Baelish: Distrusting me was the wisest thing you've done since you climbed off your horse.
