Imagine an extremely simplified model where all immigrants to a city are experienced taxi drivers. There's more demand for goods, but probably only a small uptick in demand for taxis. The supply of available taxi drivers has gone way up however.

So you believe taxi drivers never need to use taxis?

I rather clearly stated they would, just not much. The poor don't use taxis very frequently, as it's expensive to do so.

One taxi driver usually generates demand less than what one taxi driver usually supplies.

A taxi driver generates 8 hours per day of rides.

While taxi drivers sometimes consume rides, I can't imagine anyone thinks they consume 8 hours a day of rides?
