This is going to sound callous and compassion-free.
The average worker at Target is benefiting by continuing to get paid at all. They're also benefiting from the continued level of funding to city services from the tax revenue of tech.
The tech industry is one of the big reasons that SF didn't suffer economically as badly as many other big cities did.

Yeap, you are right: callous.
