Lots of ppl in Oakland *do* want tech here. But new bigger tax base =/= new jobs & services for ppl who need them.

The narrative of yr piece is "Oakland is cheap and it needs tech money." I don't know what economic cycle you're referring to.

@susie_c@kimmaicutler I read it as "Oakland rent is cheap & its politicians and biz leaders *want* tech money. Here's why it's complicated" - 1 more reply
