I would agree, but then also the people who have been living in SF and are not part of the tech economy also deserve not having to worry about their rent doubling or being kicked out to the streets and put in a situation where homelessness is a very real prospect.


Sure, the tech boom in SF didn't help, but this wasn't just all kind of tech Yuppies moving into the neighbourhood; it's also a lack of community care for the homeless, as well as a tacit acceptance of the misbehaviour of the homeless people which allowed to the problem to progress to the point where it is now.
