As a bay area tech worker I'm hurt twice by this. I'm robbed of access to a beautiful beach and second my standing in the community is tarnished further. With leaders like Perkins and Khosla I can hardly blame bay area natives for thinking we're all entitled and out of touch. The worst part is we have to take the brunt of the rage while we get on the bus to make more money for these people.

I agree that the bus rage is completely misplaced. Google peons are more accessible targets, while the people who are actually destroying everything remain out of reach to the angry masses.

You guys have to overthrow your "leaders". Hit them hard and decisively, and free technology from them. The world will support you if you do.

Who are these people "destroying everything", and how are they related to the SF housing crisis? IMHO this crisis is caused by a large increase in housing demand, correlated with a mostly fixed housing supply (more people want to live in SF than there are apartments). This could either be solved by building more in SF, or building more in Silicon Valley (but without the high density of SF).
