I am Uruguayan and have never even visited the Bay Area. But just cry "tech bro" and move on.

This is a great example of a regulatory (rather than technical) issue. Global cities should simply be built up into the stratosphere by decriminalizing construction, anything else is a policy failure.
Similarly, climate is solved by decriminalizing nuclear power.
- satellite2 5y agoI think you are attributing too much power to policy alone. I think human behaviour are much better explained via incentives. We are putting ridiculous amount of CO2 in the air because roughly every human is incentivized to do so. Basically the things that scale only scale because everyone has an incentives for it. I don't see any personal level incentives for carbon capture so I doubt it will scale.
