So tech folks came in looking to get rich quick, creating huge wealth disparities which helped fuel the homeless problem and the associated social issues, but now that they can all work from home and is complaining that SF is now "a dump" they all picked up and left. Sounds about right.

How do wealth disparities contribute to the homeless problem? Is your theory that the homeless in San Fransisco are primarily displaced residents who previously were paying for local housing?

Are you seriously asking how expanding wealth disparity contributes to homelessness?

Does rent increasing across the entirety of the bay area (which increasingly only techies can afford) not contribute to poorer people getting kicked out and become homeless?

So people came in looking to get rich quick, killed all the indians by scalping them and from disease, the largest land migration in world history..... (1840s). Sounds about right.
