I think this is a really good point about people moving to San Francisco to get rich for a long time now. And not just SF; my grandparents immigrated to New York with nothing, worked hard to establish themselves, and eventually moved out to raise a family. They had a "transactional" relationship with the city, but I like to think that New York was also enriched by their presence. And I think when we look back at all the people who have come through San Francisco on their journey to a better life, we'll realize that the city has been serving a very important function. That's not to say that San Francisco doesn't have problems - it most certainly does. But I think that this "us vs. them" mentality is counter productive when it comes to actually solving the city's problems.
