The most obvious layer are the likes of Uber and Airbnb. They’re quite obviously a net positive to everyone other than entrenched industries, but had to have strong-willed founders willing to create something in the face of, and at times fighting, regulation

Never said that. I will continue to say, until you find valid examples, that citing Uber and AirBNB as examples of successes is not backing your arguments in the least. They’ve done tremendous harm to the commons and to people’s lives due to the lack of regulation.

I still contend they’re a *net* positive

for whom? Uber: MILLIONS of extra vehicle miles driven; psgrs diverted from transit; cycling in SF is now a death match AirBNB: thousands of residents permanently displaced; entire buildings turned into illegal hotels. The end does not justify the means.
