Fortunately it's also what allows you to move somewhere else where it works much better.
Having different problems in different places is actually preferable to having the same problems everywhere, because different problems affect different people differently. It gives people choice. If you don't like San Francisco, move to Austin, or New York, or Miami. Whereas if a central authority makes a rule you can't live under there is nowhere to hide.
And even if you stay where you are, it gives you more of a voice, because you aren't being diluted by a constituency so large you can never be heard.
> You mean like moving from .org domain to something else?
Consider the alternative -- corruption at ICANN where they sell the root to a private company. Then what are you going to do, move from DNS whatsoever?
> The whole point is that certain resources (like gTLD) are global in nature.
It's only "global" in the sense that its jurisdictional boundaries are administrative rather than regional. The .org gTLD is operated by different people than the .com gTLD.
But .org has a semantic monopoly on “gTLD for NGOs”. If I want to start a new non profit I want a .org, not a .com. One is not an alternative for the other.
That's in fact my exact point. It doesn't let you move somewhere else because local governments have set themselves up to only be accountable to a small group of people that already live in the city. (AKA fuck you, I got mine)
If housing costs were lower, more people would be able to move to the bay area and take advantage of the incredible wealth creation and job opportunities available.
I wouldn't be shocked if the bay areas housing policies were responsible for the loss of 1 percent of GDP growth every year in this county.
