> The fact that you're white and a tech worker isn't the problem. It's that you had the opportunity to move to San Fransciso for work due to the tech boom, and now you're trying to pull the ladder up so others cannot do the same.

This is quite the ad hominem. I may have missed it, but I'm not sure where OP said anything about density or housing. Is there something wrong with not wanting the city that you love to be invaded by the human version of a swarm of locusts?

Ah yes, men and women who look at human needs and decide to serve them in exchange for compensation on the basis of voluntary exchange are just like insects that being multitudes into destitution and misery.

He is, by his own admission, one of those locusts.

As it turns out, not everyone who works in tech in SF is an opportunist. There are plenty of kind folks who just want to make a life for their family, but like any boom, it also attracts a multitude of people who are just here for the money and don't give a damn about the city or region.
