Software was eating the world – now landlords are eating everything
This is a very good point that I wish would get more attention: &quot;Politics is an organizational problem, not a technological one.&quot;, &quot;If we want to lower the cost of living, the cost of housing, the cost of doing business in the Bay Area, tech must get involved in politics.&quot;<p>People don&#x27;t realize how conservative SF is: &quot;The most innovative solutions don’t matter when your government has been captured by interests that want to freeze the city in amber&quot;   SF won&#x27;t even allow companies to put more buses on the road (something that would benefit everyone!)<p>This was news to me: &quot;Support for More HOMES in San Francisco was even stronger, at 74%. Despite this popular support, every member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to oppose More HOMES, except for Asha Safai and Vallie Brown &quot;  It seems that politics in SF doesn&#x27;t represent the majority view.<p>This is part of a much larger set of problems.  As we continue into the future all the tech problems get solved or already have been solved.  What we&#x27;re left with is all the problems that can&#x27;t be solved: those are all political.  There will come a day when instead of starting software companies, we&#x27;ll be starting companies that solve political problems.
