I recall seeing some stories years ago was that one issue with Twitter (and most Bay area tech companies at the time) was that due to the presence of an on campus cafeteria, surrounding areas never got much benefit from Twitter's presence.

That is, workers would show up to the building, and then essentially never leave (and spend money at nearby businesses) until the day was over and they went home.




Yes, that's how politicians and activists are shifting blame from their lack of interest in solving the issue to sacrificial goats.

The streets are full of homeless and drugged out people? That's not the reason restaurants are failing, it's the tech bro's cafeteria!

The house prices are sky high? It's not single house zoning and politicians blocking any house building, it's the rich tech bros gentrifying your neighborhood!
