I lived in SF for most of the years between 1992 and 2010, so I saw that a lot of that change first hand. When I first moved there it was a funky, artsy town with a lot of interesting people doing creative things. I was there earlier this year and it now feels like a yuppie playground. I don't see this trend reversing any time soon though so instead of lamenting this change I'll just live somewhere else if I decide to live in the States again.

One of the sad things here is that tech was one of those interesting, creative things people in SF were doing. It fit right in with the funky, artsy town you're describing. Ironically, tech was actually one of the early casualties of the tech boom. It's still out there, though, here and there.
