I think that's already true, and seems to be the single biggest (albeit poorly articulated and somewhat nebulous) complaint people have about the valley. Ideas are created in the bizarro vacuum of that specific locale and fail to meet the needs or wants of the populace as a whole. But -- given the easy flow of capital the last several years -- it's easy to argue that everything is going swimmingly and there is no problem. It's takes quite an ego to align oneself with either extreme, imho.
