Andreessen isn't telling other communities what to do. 'It's Time To Build' is not about 'building buildings', for gosh sake's, it's about building companies, innovating, organizing ourselves better and 'doing stuff'. Not 'building homes' in Los Angeles. You can 'fuck off' with your 'fucking off' language, this isn't the place for uninformed mob rage. People have their quiet neighbourhoods and want to keep them that, it's not really any of your business. There's plenty of room for you to express yourself and even get angry with other by telling them to 'f-off' just not in Atherton apparently.

[sigh] >Andreessen isn't telling other communities what to do. "It's Time to Build" is literally Andreessen telling us what he thinks that we - the United States as a broader community - need to be doing as we move towards the future. >'It's Time To Build' is not about 'building buildings', for gosh sake's, it's about building companies, innovating, organizing ourselves better and 'doing stuff'. Not 'building homes' in Los Angeles. It's about all of that and building homes. As a matter of fact, it's actually a pretty well-rounded piece. An excerpt: >You see it in housing and the physical footprint of our cities. We can’t build nearly enough housing in our cities with surging economic potential — which results in crazily skyrocketing housing prices in places like San Francisco, making it nearly impossible for regular people to move in and take the jobs of the future. I'm struggling to square away how lamenting our inability to "build nearly enough housing" is "not about 'building buildings'". >You can 'fuck off' with your 'fucking off' language, this isn't the place for uninformed mob rage. Again at the risk of not having a typically-constructive HN conversation, there are 61 up votes for my comment and yours was decently downvoted. It's safe to say that more people disagree with you here, or - and I think this is more likely - that they at least understand my point better than you do. You see... >People have their quiet neighbourhoods and want to keep them that, it's not really any of your business. ... I have never actually said that it is my business. In my first post, I only told a gigantically wealthy person off for whining in caps lock about losing an amount of money that will have next-to-no impact to their massive net worth. You then responded to me telling me that I don't get to tell Atherton residents how to determine what happens in their municipality. I responded, clarified that I know that, and further clarified that I was only telling a gigantically wealthy person off for the same reason I mentioned just above and in every previous post of mine in this chain. Yet you are again telling me that "it's not really any of [my] business" what Atherton residents want. Stop putting words in my mouth! Again - let them do what they want with their community. But Marc Andreessen absolutely can still fuck off for that comment.
