    Problem being, because big tech money has so distorted the economies of the cities it’s clustered in, many of these people can’t only choose between fixing another tech job ASAP, moving away from their industry to a lower cost metro with limited job opportunities, or imminent homelessness. Driving a forklift won’t pay the rent, and commercial real estate is so absurdly priced that there may not even be a restaurant to wait tables at.
