Is the Tech Industry Ruining San Francisco? Video Lecture | Shaping the Future: The New Western World - Personal Skills

you
I think the high-tech world is very good
you know his technology his science is
progress the heads of those high Tech's
sub by and large you know the chairman
and the feel on top a conscious of their
civic responsibility but their workforce
and other management level they're like
ostriches in this bury their head in the
sand they don't see the surrounding area
mm-hmm
they don't understand you know but isn't
that why they want to be here because of
culture and city life and the mission
and the restaurant yeah posed to Silicon
Valley which is very bland they like it
but then they don't they're not aware
while they're purchasing did ideals
they're pushing and bending a lot of
people out of shape mmm the workforce in
my community for example they started
with low income so their social security
are about averaging seven hundred and
sixty dollars a month in the old days up
until five years ago you pay $300 $200
out of 760 for rent you can still barely
get by now those single are s our own
communal kitchen communal bath yeah six
seven hundred dollars a month that's why
we find our seniors scavenger picking up
cans going through refuge for vegetables
you know bins and fruit bins so we have
never seen anything like it
our housing stock in Chinatown the
pinions ah over 50 years old yes
there's no remodeling 60 don't worry
modeling no nothing
very good point because you see
remodeling all over the city but not in
these older communities yes I'll say
something rose people often said you San
Francisco such a wonderful City it has
such charm and I think if you look at
the history of the city there's always
been some extra I mean people grow up
here or they move here and they like it
here yeah they do some give back yes
that's why San Francisco is special if
you took all that out and you just had
taxes votes Francisca no that's what I
was telling you I said maybe some of the
high tech owners and the big bosses
they're starting to realize so they
write a check for the hospital
you know whatever but it takes more than
one big check for a Children's Hospital
it takes your workers you know to be
engaged with their neighbors
