>and locals getting priced out by immigrants who work for tech companies basically characterizes the demographic trajectory of my hometown.

That's on the locals. They are being priced out because they don't want to build any housing (NIMBYism) nor do they want to pay taxes on property (Prop 13). Don't blame immigrants for the policy failures of the bay area. These failures extend to all of CA and predate tech immigrants.
