"It should be noted that Zoe, who asked not to be identified by her real name because she was not authorized by her employer to speak to the press, is not the stereotypical tech bro who moves to San Francisco for a job and immediately starts complaining about the city’s dire homelessness crisis. She arrived in 2007 to study at San Francisco State University and had a career in musical theater before attending a coding bootcamp and landing a job as a developer advocate at a major tech company." Um, how is she not exactly that? Except that she is a girl, so I guess not a bro. What would you say to girls? "Tech chick"? Or just "Tech sis"? "It’s just not sustainable for a couple to live here" Then don't? I write this as somebody who also moved away from his hometown and now can't afford to go back. "she says she is terrified to walk at night." And how exactly did Tech workers cause that? Is there even data showing the homeless and drug addicts are former residents of SF, who were then displaced by rising housing costs because of tech workers? I don't know why SF with all its money can't get a grip on the problem. But it also seems likely to me that many homeless were simply attracted by the rich people, who can donate more than people elsewhere? |
