This seems way more extreme than the general problem. I live in a city that does not have any problem supporting a variety of great restaurants from low to high end. It sounds to me like possibly the people who are being hired away from the tech companies are benefiting. I think it's still an ethical issue as this situation is obviously hurting restaurant owners and people who don't have the money for the super high end. That's a shame.
