“and give up on my dream of being a tech billionaire? no thanks”. Also popular is “the bay area has one of the greatest collection of minds ever assembled in the history of the world”. If they are really that smart and money flows so freely, then they should have no problem solving this little problem.

I understand the futility of reasoning against snark, but I still feel compelled to mention that no collection of minds in the history of anything has ever really succeeded in solving the problem of dysfunctional politics.

I think the real question is "Are the politics dysfunctional"? I would argue they are working exactly as intended. The people who already own property and who have influence are getting the exact results they desire. Good or bad depends on whether you are an owner or a renter. A very large portion of political outcomes can be traced to money and those who can apply it to get their desired outcomes. This is politics as normal for a large portion of the uS and the world.

That’s quite true. And thank you for also recognizing that my snark can’t be reasoned with.
