The problem is that housing limits are not restricted to SF. The housing crunch is felt all across the bay area. Even if all the tech folks decided not to live in SF, that would still drive up prices elsewhere: San Mateo, Palo Alto, Mtn View, etc. This problem will persist as long as the various SF bay area cities don't deal with the development/infrastructure issue. For example, San Mateo will gladly allow new office space but block new housing. Where are those office workers supposed to live? The problem just gets brushed under the rug.
