Great comment. Very accurate anecdote, it really is all about finding a small community if like-minded, driven, talented individuals to purse ideas and do great things. A lof people, especially here in LA, are consumed with raising a quick buck and dropping the "change the world" statement without actually having any idea what that means or any intention of doing so. It's just "the thing to say" these days. It's disappointing. And as someone who has quite a few friends in the Valley, living in LA is very difficult when it comes to finding technology oriented people.

I need to find a YC environment here in Los Angeles... If anyone has ideas, let me know. Or we'll just start our own!
