As a former Bay Area resident who could probably not afford to live there with the current housing prices, I'm curious why you lay the blame at the tech companies? Is it because they offer high compensation, relative to other industries? If they lowered compensation across the board, would you view them in better light?
Wouldn't it make more sense to lay at least some of the blame at the hands of current and past residents, most of whom probably don't or didn't work in tech, but were the ones voting for restrictive housing and zoning, often times because they were in favor of discriminatory and exclusionary housing policies?
