But, to each their own. I'm not trying to preach that everyone should live DT, and it's kind of off topic anyhow. Just saying, the city's wide footprint and inconvenient cabs/transit are highly related.
We're arguing your opinion vs mine based on each others experience; Kind of pointless.
My opinion is based on much more than a couple of people I know, it would be hundreds of people I know and demographic research I have done for work; but lets agree to disagree.
And I don't disagree with you on needing more cabs either. I think a combo of more urban density, more cabs, better transit (and later running) are all needed to alleviate the issues.

I think later running transit has the biggest potential to improve the situation, but this would be lobbied to no end by the cab companies. The same reason we will never have a train to the airport.
