We are too quickly losing important landscapes in this country to development - and I worry that if we do not act to protect them now, future generations will grow up in a profoundly different world.

I think its time to change and balance the environment and growth. If we don't do that, we're going to suffer a hard landing one day very soon.

Obviously, overall infrastructure needs on the Southwest and Northern borders are mounting. We need a major push in Congress to remedy this.

The more we can grow on already cultivated land, the better.

As an immigrant, my wish is that we fix immigration. At Sequoia, we've backed a number of exceptional founders that were born abroad but started their careers in the Valley. They've created immense value, but more importantly, massive numbers of jobs locally, nationally and globally.

If we allow more development, it will bring housing affordability.

We should reconsider greater integration of North America to achieve a region that is more competitive and capable of creating more jobs.

We need Hawaii just as much and a good deal more than we did California. It is Manifest Destiny.

The federal government secures the border; Californians decide how we want to treat our population. I think we need a vibrant guest worker program. If we have one, we're going to stop having a lot of issues at the border.

Address these environmental issues and you will address every issue known to man. And we keep dabbling in things that aren't really that important in the long term.
