This is a very good point that I wish would get more attention: "Politics is an organizational problem, not a technological one.", "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."
People don't realize how conservative SF is: "The most innovative solutions don’t matter when your government has been captured by interests that want to freeze the city in amber" SF won't even allow companies to put more buses on the road (something that would benefit everyone!)
This was news to me: "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 " It seems that politics in SF doesn't represent the majority view.
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're left with is all the problems that can't be solved: those are all political. There will come a day when instead of starting software companies, we'll be starting companies that solve political problems.
