What's worse is that those "hacker hostels" in SoMa require you to apply and be approved of before you can give them your money. If you're local, speak english and aren't founding your own startup, they will say 'no, you can't rent our bed'. They seem to prefer out of country entrepreneurs hoping to make contacts for funding their new startup.
