> “These tech companies have decided to leave their suburban campuses because their employees want to be in the city, and yet the irony is, they come to the city and are creating isolated, walled-off campuses,” said Aaron Peskin, a city supervisor who is co-sponsoring the bill with Ahsha Safaí. “This is not against these folks, it’s for them. It’s to integrate them into the community.”
So, app developers face the difficulty of having high wages but higher costs, and in every single direction, greedy people are trying to get every dime out of them. I mean $3,258 for 1-bedroom apartments is outrageous! And now, while they're trying to cut some of the few costs they have control over (food), the local government is openly and brazenly trying to force them to spend more money on local lunch shops? Didn't we just read a few months ago about a high profile developer who lives in his car because he can't afford rent? Capitalism with rules that favor greed is pure evil. I'm all for looking for ways to monetize, but you're literally stealing from people living out of their cars.
