I defined anti Uber law ;) it's not an anti-TNC law.

do you think the city is right that Uber's background checks are worse?

yes. It stems from an actual crime; new laws are reasonable. Uber left before it went into effect to “make a point”.

how does allowing a different background check system cause Austin residents to pay their costs?

pay with public safety. The new regulations were simply a more thorough background check w/ fingerprint.

I don't see any evidence that the background check is more thorough, just slower.
