To ignore the relation between homelessness, the high cost of housing, the gentrification as tech people like to live authentic and the absolute lack of building, and to pretend its welfare and the lack of guns is just blindness.

People in SF have to either kick the tech companies out, or allow a massive amount of high density housing in.

I’d tech companies are going to build massive “campuses” they should be required to build “dormitories” too.

Google did try to build housing but Mountain View wouldn’t let them. [1] I also have been to public hearings where Mountain View and Palo Alto council members celebrate their success in blocking public transit in the South Bay (hence Google Buses). If you think this is the tech companies fault then maybe the local governments shouldn’t be blocking them from trying to help.

Its insane to still see massive tech campuses being built given the housing shortage.
