What do you mean, billionaires? What about all the small businesses who used to get daily business from those office workers who bought coffee, lunch, drinks, and so forth?
The hubris and myopia of the 'eat the rich' mentality is galling and a little depressing.

Even if not, while it sucks for them, I don’t think it will necessarily kill them, more vacancy may mean less customers, but it also means lower prices. Presumably there were shops before SF became juppy heaven, so it will have them after.
