Nah, Incompetent Politicians, Wallstreet/Banks are still public enemy No. 1. Perhaps people that live in the SV area who are not in the industry consider the tech industry an enemy because they have been priced outside of homes and are feeling left behind. Those outside of SV don't consider SV an enemy or even think about them.

That said, folks in Silicon Valley will very soon join the club and see for themselves what it is like, because as automation and technology continues to eat away at jobs, they are not far behind these industries as far as vilification goes.
