        @JoshuaBaer @stampchez @Uber_ATX @lyft - no uber/lyft is like no internet. A real value chain goes miss and the impact is hard

        @Uber_ATX @lyft it really is to bad they decided to leave town. They could have continued operating as is for now.

        Had the opposite reaction when I went to my hometown of Allentown, PA and @Uber was available. Felt proud.

        That's fine. Austin was considered backward for *decades*, and we did well, thank you.

        I'm astonished our ATX city council, and my council-person @SheriGalloD10, ran Uber and Lyft out. Nuts, just nuts.
