I think it depends on what you mean by "people in tech", I don't think the actual median income of people "in tech" is anywhere CLOSE to what the bay area economy involved HN reader might think.
But even leaving that aside, guess what's not going to be at all reassuring to current residents of whatever city is gonna be the "next Silicon Valey" or even "next Austin"? "Oh, don't worry, rents gonna go up a LOT, but it's still gonna be affordable for MOST PEOPLE IN TECH. Just not most of y'all that lived here before all the techies got here."
