I'm not talking about the economic disruption to the city per se, I'm talking about the social arrogance of the people on the ground. Both in general and specifically how they think about the economic changes.

I just get annoyed that people want to shit on tech workers for pushing them out of a city when it's clearly rent-seeking and bad policy that those tech workers have little control over causing the problems.

When firing a gun point it at the right people. Anti-tech sentiment will cause cultural problems without fixing the underlying economic problems. It's sad.

Edit: I'd take a bet that a bunch of mostly introverted nerds don't have anyway as big of an arrogance problem as many other groups might.
