Well, there is lots of working being put in by a lot of people to fix parts of it. For example CA is in the process of passing a law to upzone large swaths of single family housing. The YIMBY movement is gaining steam. I think one fo the saddest things in politics at least in the west is this sort of defeatism where large swaths of the electorate think that things are unfixable. I think especially as technologists we should recognize that real problems exist, but also that fundamentally they are all fixable and we should try to fix them.
- mixmastamyk 5y agoI agree they are fixable, not even particularly difficult. But there’s no political will.
- space_fountain 5y agoWell let's work on building the political will then? It is true that individually we're unlikely to have much impact, but there are organizations and groups working for change and they've been having results.
- mixmastamyk 5y agoI don’t know how to do that when extremists from “both sides” dominate the discussion. If you have any ideas or groups to link to.
