1. That's not discrimination, you're using a strawman. 2. A wealthy area not fixing 50yo problems isn't a counterexample. 3. At no point did I generalise to "everyone", another strawman.

Are there a few people in SV who are good at urbanism? Almost certainly. Are there a few people in SV who are actually good at technology instead of just scale and engineering? Same answer.

But I'm not talking about what exceptions might exist here and there. I'm talking about overall structure. The problems of tech and urbanism are similar. A collective that sucks at one is very likely to suck at the other. It's not a weird or radical argument.
