I think a better direction would be if YC Research could figure out a process to growth hack a new high density city from scratch instead of everyone crowding into physically constrained existing city. Make YC entry conditional on relocating to somewhere besides Silicon Valley/San Francisco. Maybe somewhere in California (Redding, Modesto) so you have the same rules/regulation as in California but with minimal earthquake risk, plenty of land and existing water resource Maybe even do something like the Amazon second headquarters RFP. Sort of like what PG describes here: http://www.paulgraham.com/pgh.html http://www.paulgraham.com/pgh.html
