> At the beginning of the current tech boom, it seemed that “old” San Francisco—activists, artists, immigrants—might continue to set the terms of the city, as it grudgingly acclimated to, and resisted, the influx of entrepreneurs and tech workers.

It's funny that someone who embraces the immigrant culture of San Francisco, is so anti-immigration when other people also want to immigrate to San Francisco in search of higher wages and a better life.

The rich and well educated have more options, so it makes sense to be on the side of immigrants who don’t.

You seem to be implying that immigrants aren't rich or well educated, the evidence doesn't bare that out. Middle Eastern immigrants are on average more educated that Americans, Asian immigrants make a much higher median wage than average Americans.
