> Y'all colonized the poorest parts of the city and gave the poorest folks nowhere to go
I think part of this is not realizing that a lot of the locals (the previous colonizers) are part of the problem. I can guarantee that the colonizers would love for more housing to be built in SF because they don't want to pay $2m for a 2bd townhouse either.
A huge portion of the SF "colonizer" demographic can't even fucking vote. They're all on visas.
People love to invent boogiemen where they dehumaize groups of people as uncaring caricatures. It's much easier than confronting the hard problems and feels good.
