When you paid such a sum for a license, and you likely have debts with a bank for it, it is obvious that you are against anyone doing the same you do, but without that extra cost. To be fair, Uber drivers should buy such a license too, or the state should refund taxi driver or exstinguish their debt.

Anyway, to say the truth, taxi drivers are guilty of their own misery. Many of them contributed directly or indirectly to keep the “license markets” (selling/buying licenses) high, even blocking municipalities from issuing new licenses at their original cost, which isn't so high. Some of them wanted licenses to be a scarse good to keep high their prices in order to speculate on those; others wanted to preserve the value of their investment, to avoid to remain only with a huge debts.

The situation won't be normalized until those debts finish or become sustainable.
