I'll put in a good word for the Denver-Boulder area. :-)
Seriously, I read things like this:
"Cohen said one concrete way the tech industry could ease the affordability crisis would be to cut big checks. He notes that San Francisco’s hotel tax produces about $5 million a year that goes into subsidized housing, and said it’s appropriate to call on the tech sector for similar contributions since their workforce is primarily responsible for driving up housing costs."
And then I read the "suggestions" in an article[1] linked to this one immediately following that quote, and one word comes to mind: shakedown.
Instead of cooperating with the moral equivalent of a mugging, perhaps companies should move to places where they're appreciated, rather than reviled.
