WSJ: Is Silicon Valley Funding the Wrong Stuff?

Few would argue that our transportation and energy infrastructure isn't dilapidated, but is it really Silicon Valley's responsibility to worry about these sorts of things?

Silicon Valley and a lot of the modern tech scene are tackling problems that that the actual creators find important to solve. Tired of unreliable transportation? Start a car service like Uber where you can rely on both quality, smooth transactions and timeliness. Tired of expensive hotels that don't cater to your needs? Start an accommodations service like Airbnb where niche markets can be serviced. The list continues, even for things the 0.1% don't need, like basic education and low-cost entertainment. 

I'm just throwing this out there, but what if the problems that a majority of the U.S. has created for itself (dilapidated infrastructure, inefficient energy, etc.) don't need to be solved? What if...people were to live differently?

Urban dwellers are different animals, and in many ways, they don't need the necessary expansionary infrastructure and loads of energy that people use when they live far from work or other social activities. When they do, their tax revenue should cover it. If not, they shouldn't get it. Living in urban areas also allows people to easily share, so there's greater marginal value per unit. 

If you prefer the rural life, just know there are consequences to that decision. Prices should adjust accordingly. 

The problem may not be that we need technological gains in these areas so we can consume more resources, but perhaps not use as many resources to begin with.

This is what I think Silicon Valley/the Bay Area is actually doing to the U.S. economy, and I'm alright with it.
