This opinion piece is really bizarre, how this kind of mentality turns from abhorrent to great when your target is supposed "rich techies"? The writer must understand the economic advantages of having productive and well-paid professionals moving in your neighborhood, the problems that arise from a sudden influx of people are merely infrastructure problems that will be fixed over time, with the tax revenue they bring with them, it's called a happy problem. You can't plan for it in advance because it's not economically feasible to add Metro lines just in case someone decides to build a campus somewhere in the city. If this line of thinking is fine, then you really can't argue with anti-immigration rhetoric since theirs is largely the same, irrational fear and hatred for change in a world that is constantly moving but would rather forego any long-term benefits because it inconveniences you in the now and shakes your precious culture you value over anything else.
