It's gotten so bad here that entirely new political factions are forming just to counteract decades of "never build housing so my home price will rise" politics. See for instance the "Yimby party" and the "Bay Area Renters Federation (BARF)"

It may slowly be working too. Mountain View has been taken over by pro-housing candidates and they're approving development left and right.

i did my part and helped vote those people into city council

feels good

sometimes when it's very late at night and everything is dark and quiet, and i'm the only one awake, i imagine that at that very moment, the yellowstone caldera is going to explode

i like to imagine that the geological monitoring will give us enough time to go beg congress for money to drain it and get soundly shot down by conservatives before it kills all humans

they carefully explode it so the lava drains into pre-dug mineshafts elsewhere and then hunt around in the cleared out chambers w/ their iron pickaxes for those tiny rare veins of diamond

i'd imagine that if you somehow "drained" enough heat from the earth's mantle to make a difference you would end up with all the same problems of a volcanic eruption up here on the surface. energy has to go somewhere

the masses involved would probably require some kinda gigantohuge mining operation before you even had a suitable place to divert the stuff

and yea too close to the surface presents a whole lotta problems - the one i'd be concerned w/ after the heat (since we're assuming that we're making use of it somehow like for power generation) is the off gassing of enormous amounts of carbon dioxide and all those other volcanic gases into the atmosphere

so that's why we've gotta sink a crazy deep shaft nearby the smallest magma chamber and use nuclear excavation to create additional space for it to go and relieve some pressure - then you fill the shaft w/ your geothermal equipment before you seal it w/ flowable fill and directionally drill into the magma chamber to get flow started
