If I were trying to encourage folks to not invest in local real estate, I would try to scare Googlers and Facebookers out of town.
If I wanted to destroy the tax base supporting my school, I would try to scare Googlers and Facebookers out of town.
If I wanted to drive my coffeshop or cheeseburger stand out of business I would try to scare Googlers and Facebookers out of town.
If I wanted my theater to be empty, I would try to scare Googlers and Facebookers out of town.
