Right now, the way that tech companies get around this is by paying their employees progressively more and not really engaging with the political system.

But this particular strategy also has its downsides from a community perspective, because it starves out other uses of our city for public service workers, teachers, artists, etc.

Perhaps there is another way where we are politically engaged, where we can generate broad political will for more housing given that the largest and most successful companies have a hand in funding or supporting diverse growth (in the way that New York's biggest corporate institutions are also great patrons of the city's arts).
