"That's because they're being displaced. Because there is not enough housing." Nor will there be at any point in the near future, no matter how much housing gets built. But that's a red herring. If the question is "should we favor policies that encourage the tech industry, or discourage it?", you have to do better than arguing that the tech industry is a net good in some ideal world that doesn't currently exist. SF had a pretty strong economy before tech came along. Saying "tech...or the Greek economy" is clearly absurd.
