SF medallions
Anyone that's ever been in a cab with me knows I always ask if the cabbie owns the medallion. I love the medallion system in theory. Actually I love the idea of a cabbie owning the medallion as a path from labor to business ownership - the details are often far from that unfortunately.
SF's system actually looked more like what I liked about the idea of a medallion, but in reality it's far from it.
Regardless, it appears like it may change soon.
One thing that a market for medallions will do is provide a real world price signal on the value of the damned things, which should let the city decide if there is a need for more or if the system can at least tolerate more.
This will be interesting to watch.
