tl; dr "I don't like taxes or regulations, so I'm moving from Seattle to the slightly less expensive Austin, TX, because it's the only part of Texas my employees would want to live in."
This is a misreading. The author says, "both have become hostile to the principles and policies that enable people to live abundantly in the broadest sense." And, "Even in normal times, San Francisco and Seattle go to great lengths to make life hard for families. Both cities. . . are notorious for enacting policies that raise the price of housing."
I disagree with many of the author's framings about the intellectual climate, but the author is correct about both cities's housing policies dramatically raising the cost of housing, which is hard on single and coupled people but much harder and worse on families with kids.
