Tech didn't cause the housing shortage, that's entirely the responsibility of long-time residents that control the very local government structures that restrict housing. As bad as the SF Bay Area is, it's not as bad as LA when it comes to salary-housing cost mismatch. So the average person who was born in LA is even worse off than the Bay Area. Tech is not the cause of California's housing problems. Those local power brokers that own the land and profit off of housing scarcity are also setting the narrative. So by creating a tech boogie man, they can deflect any political energy away from any solution that might help the housing situation, from which they directly profit.
