Then if Uber cries or tries to break the bylaws, no one will support them. The issue is that City Hall has deliberately delayed action on this for 3 years and will probably continue to do so until it becomes an election issue.
Seems like a smart move for the city to be staying away from the economic side directly (prices, fees, surge, etc) while having a bylawythat is all "safety" oriented.

You won't see too many people complaining that the city is requiring background checks or insurance.
