    Why are there so few startups in Dallas? Because it's this kind of city: http://bit.ly/17cOllk . You can't have both, guys.

        @paulg Can't understand how those regs even theoretically benefit citizens. Just seems outright backwards.

        @paulg Though Dallas might be a good place for startups to talk to users. Much better representation of normal people than Bay Area.

        @paulg Uber has had troubles in cities across the US. From SF to NY. Why correlate this issue to there being too few startups in Dallas?

        @jenniferconley @paulg wow. Really surprised by this comment, because it is so baseless. Would you say the same about Austin? Ask @sidecar.

        @paulg Is SF a good place for startups? They're arresting Uber ride-sharers at SFO. http://www.wired.com/business/2013/08/airport-arrests-uber-lyfts/ …

        @paulg @mikedmerrill agreed - but San Fran is doing this with lyft and NYC with airbnb. I think it's overall a resistance to change

        @paulg Big cab companies are the hardest hit. Why are they not building apps to compete?

        @paulg A broad, reactive brush, PG. TX is much more business friendly than CA. Has little to do with the startup ecosystem.
