> Putting aside your arrogance for a moment

Let's put aside making and taking things personally, shall we? One way to do that is by sticking to the relevant facts, so here's a relevant fact: two of those three companies aren't Bay Area companies. All three of them aren't even San Francisco companies. I think that's relevant if we're talking about San Francisco.

> All things considered VC's and high salaries for workers willing to take on risk has generally been good for San Francisco

That's a matter of judgment. If, say, a SFUSD teacher makes a different judgment because she has to commute from Tracy, I'm not going to say she's wrong.

> Tech workers making a middle class living off of investment money shouldn't be demonized

Who has demonized them? I haven't. I haven't made a moral judgment about this at all. I'm just arguing that economic policy and conditions tend to lead to predictable outcomes, and if we want different outcomes we should choose different policies.
