      Some years ago, Ogaki issued me a piece of paper certifying that I was a resident of the city, and not someone who merely lived in it. Cities in Japan did this after years of pressure by advocates of foreign residents to normalize their status.

      I think about this a lot when I hear that, in tech epicenters in the US, workers are treated as economic migrants rather than residents. They're sneered at in the local polity. It is assumed, with rather little evidence, that they're disengaged from civic life, neighborhoods, etc

          It's funny, reading The Road to Somewhere made me realize the entire politics of Brexit (anti-mass immigration) play out the same in the Bay Area, for the economic migrants from other parts of the US, who, language aside, are in identical situation to Eastern Europeans in UK

          The core thing people are pushing back against is *change*, and the idea that "my place has changed beyond recognition"

          Bay Area local officeholder told me that he felt he should mail to all voters but that some apartment rich areas it was half a waste of money because of high turnover of residents - also renters viewed as less "real" than homeowners

          I think the biggest part of the problem in tech epicenters in the US is displacement. Tech drives up housing costs, sometimes beyond the ability of previous residents to pay it. It doesn't matter if new folks are engaged, if the previous folks can no longer live there.
