I think you may have missed a central, if not primary point of the article.

From TFA:

"It is time, too, that we begin to understand that the great wave of popular resentment sweeping across advanced societies is partly about the way the modern economy shreds some of people’s most basic emotional attachments. We all know the modern rules: millions of people have to leave where they grew up to find even halfway dependable work; and they find that creating any kind of substitute home somewhere new is impossible. For people at the bottom of the economic hierarchy, life proves to be unendingly precarious and often itinerant."

I don't buy that "the great wave of popular resentment" is driven by the type and quality of housing options provided to techies. I can buy that life proves too itinerant for people at the bottom, but as far as I could see, the types of housing and services described in the article do not represent a delta for the people at the bottom.
