At least SF still has the jobs and industry to drive the insane housing prices. Try somewhere like Vancouver where the prices are just as crazy but minus any connection to an actual economic or technological driver; there's zero industry left, zero investment, and a pervasive Stockholm syndrome where the entire city population convinces itself it's the 'best place on Earth.' It's turning into an epic ghost town of real estate speculators and low-rent TV post-production sweat shops with all the real tech talent draining to places like SF and NYC.
