Homelessness, mentally ill, chronically unemployed, etc. these are serious issues that are obviously not unique to "the valley" or SF or any number of other places that border on affluent areas. I think the gist of the rant is that there is a lot of wealth in "the valley" but for some reason it does not "trickle down" to those with problems. Unfortunately, this is an issue that is much harder to solve than writing then next cool app or whatever. There seems to be a pervasive idea that just because tech people can solve complicated tech problems that means somehow they can use the same magic to solve social problems. I wish I knew how to solve some of these problems but I do not and I am guessing a lot of tech people feel the same way.
