This is a defeatist attitude.
SF Yimby / SFBARF were started in 2014 and have been impressively successful since. They played a decisive role in the latest mayoral election, and SF now has a Yimby mayor.
Change is possible.
Apathy and disengagement from tech people and youth is v advantageous to incumbent Nimby constituencies. Those are mostly older, mostly homeowners or rent-control beneficiaries and therefore personally insulated from the housing crisis. They vote reliably, and there's no reason ppl with a more inclusive vision can't do the same!
Step 1 is letting go of cynicism. Change in fact already happening.
