In my reckoning, we lack the policy to grow dense and sustainable cities.

When cities become attractive, as the Bay Area is now, they don't respond to the right signals to grow, and when they grow, they grow in unbalanced ways.

I think the solution is through a fundamental overhaul of land-use policy, which is unlikely to happen anytime soon. In the meantime, we'll have failed cities with a ceiling for growth.

Let people work remote. I would be happy to live in the mountains, but there ain't any jobs there.

I'm planning to look for remote-only companies once I'm ready to leave my current job -- so we can live in the Adirondacks in upstate NY!

I'd love if more companies allowed remote work.

You have my vote for president!

I always get the impression that a large number of techies are into the outdoors / outdoor sports. I am surprised no one has tried setting up companies an remoter places with good access to the mountains. Instead they set up in the most expensive places, and need to pay much more to cover for the costs.
