A lot of the tech employees that are being protested are young, single, and much more willing to move for economic reasons than families. The ability to buy a house in the future, not deal with protesters, and probably make more money overall in a city with lower rents is pretty enticing. Silicon Valley has a lot of tech companies, but now Seattle and Austin do too- not as many, but growing. At some point the hatred misdirected at tech employees could result in San Francisco suffering from less tech investment than other more stable cities.
