The ongoing war of progressives against high tech

I've written about the liberal war on Silicon Valley numerous times before (for example, here and here and here and here). As Noah Smith on Bloomberg reports, the war continues:

Unlike progressives in New York City, who are often big supporters of density, San Francisco progressives have decided to focus on kicking the tech industry out of the city. Booting tech back to wherever it came from seems like a natural way of restoring the old equilibrium. Sadly, efforts to push tech employees out will fail, and will end up hurting the city's low-income residents even more.

For example, activists have proposed levying a 1.5 percent payroll tax on tech companies only. The initiative will probably not become law, but it clearly indicates that tech-bashing is the order of the day.

When is the Republican Party going to wake up to the fact that high-tech workers in Silicon Valley and San Francisco are ripe for the picking due to the anti-high-tech policies of California's out-of-control, radical, liberal Democrats?
