These issues are all political issues, so I'm not sure what people expect the tech minority to do ― become even more politically powerful, and even more influential in matters of civic life? Furthermore, the wealth of tech is completely different from the voting base of tech. This is a democratic city situated in a democratic state in a democratic country. So, like, either the people on any level want to do something or... do they want the Andrew Carnegie of tech to punch through the "red tape"? What is the city/state/federal political mood on matters of big homeless, housing, or infrastructure projects? Isn't it depressed or pessimistic?
