This.

Many of those vilified "high-paying tech jobs" are young and have school-age kids. I am one of them (well, except I'm not that young), and almost all my friends in the SV area are the same. I go to work and half of the team have a kid or two.

It's not tech workers pushing out parents: they want to be parents and settle down. It's old grandmas in three bedroom single houses refusing to move out.

To be clear, the grandmas can refuse to move out, and it's their right to refuse. What's not their right is to have veto powers over what is built on adjacent properties they don't own.
