Silicon Valley has ridden San Francisco into a “train wreck” of inequality, with homelessness being a severe issue in the city, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff worded CNBC.
Benioff added that though the Valley is the home of “an incredible technology industry” that “every big apple in the world craves,” some executives in the sector are ignoring issues such as gentrification and homelessness.
“In some ways, San Francisco is the canary in the coal quarry,” Benioff said.
