The issue that OP is concerned with is that those who are displaced don't necessarily have the means to relocate to an area and remain in the same living situation they were previously in. When you uproot lower-income residents from their existing social structure, which may have served as their safety net, where are they supposed to go? They may relocate physically but the economic and mental/psychological strain from being forcibly moved may have detrimental consequences that we haven't properly taken the time to understand.

'Progress' and residential gentrification are not necessarily evil things, but they become destructive when the people moving in have no interest in maintaining social services for people other than themselves. If the tech sector wishes to maintain the image that it is an industry with a 'heart', it would behoove those of us working in it to inform ourselves as to the consequences of our economic decisions.
