If that were true, where do the terrible neighbours come from? Perhaps tech corporates may have something to do with the reasons these people are trying to survive on the street?

I wouldn't blame FAANG specifically, because of course the problem is more complex than that. But there's a certain complacency involved in being young, educated, and in-demand - which can be knocked out of you far more easily than you might think when the next bust happens and suddenly you are the one on the street being told you're a bad neighbour.

This is not hyperbole. It has happened in every dot com recession, and it will happen to people you know - possibly even to you - in the next one.
