The idea of driving fulltime is becoming a pipe dream. If you want to drive part time to get some money out of your car that is otherwise a money pit, then that is realistic, but there is so little profit to be made from driving anymore that as a fulltime gig I think it is basically done.
I agree, this gig is dead, full or part time.
I guess what I have to ask is what would these people be doing if not for uber and lyft? There have always been homeless people living in cars. I am not saying uber and lyft treat their drivers well but I don't think we can blame the homeless problem in SF on them alone. The whole city is becoming impossible to live in for anyone who doesn't make their living at a keyboard.
