    They left Austin for a while. Competition came in, including a nonprofit created by friends of mine in the local tech sector. It was great. Then the Texas Legislature came in with their big government bullshit, bought and paid for by Lyft and Uber, and made it illegal for cities to set ordinances like that.

    EDIT: Old story about it.
