Its really understandable why that would piss them off and I sympathize.  At the same time, it seems like the only solutions are for me to quit my job and &quot;fuck off&quot;, or to live in the suburbs and suck up a &gt; 1 hr commute.  People deserve to live a good life and improve their station, and that includes techies who are well off, in addition to the poor and middle class.
