The rational provided for these measures is very indirect, and, as such, it almost ensures the interpretation that it is retaliatory. If the concern were truly "integrating" tech workers into the community, perhaps the city would move to provide building permits for large urban housing complexes. Employer owned cafeterias create service industry jobs and are likely more sustainable than catering (with take-out waste). The goal seems more to punish tech workers and compromise a significant benefit to their employment.
