Nicely put. I like Valley for the same reason, it is a safe space to try out stuff and see what sticks. Uber saved my ass in London when I got stuck as the public transportation doessn't accept cash or credit (only the special Oyster Card). The hype needs to be taken with a grain of salt but there are some really valuable and useful startups out there.
P.S. I too made ~ $6K last quarter on AirBnB.

There are machines at every station that will accept your cash or credit card and give you a paper ticket in return. Or give you an Oyster Card, for that matter.

I was trying to take a bus from a regular bus stop around 7 pm. Nearby shops where I could've bought a card were closed by then (in that part of London).
