I’m taken aback by the way Claire Miller presented you. It’s totally disingenuous, and you’re far too kind to her in response.

There is a little bit of sensationalism in her statement “taxi driver turned chief executive” statement. While that statement is indeed true, it does give the average reader (who does not know your background) an impression that you were pursuing taxi driving as a full time career, and then went out and started a startup that “makes videos” and made yourself the CEO. Having known you for quite a while, I know that far from the truth.

I saw the 500 startup pitch wherein you mentioned the same thing. While you might be proud of your taxi driving experience, I recommend you skip that from your future pitches so as to not give the wrong impression.

Comment on How much is a San Francisco taxi medallion worth? by Observer

A better solution would be for the City to auction off 5-year leases for medallions in a rolling manner (so that 300 medallions go on sale every year, assuming there are 1500 total medallions). Use a “dutch auction” so that people bid the true value. Limit medallion sales to 1 per driver; and have some eligibility criteria so that only the qualified drivers apply. This can become a sizable source of income for the City.

Right now, some well-connected (read: corrupt) people have cornered a good chunk of the medallions, and the hardworking drivers are caught in the system like slaves.

Wow, I never knew that’s how taxi business worked. It is not the customer’s fault the taxi was an hour late.
