Seattle locals complain a little about all the cranes across the skyline. I see it another way - Seattle is absolutely going to eat SF's lunch if it doesn't change.
You already have Microsoft, Boeing, etc here. Google, Facebook and Space X have now opened offices too. This city seems to be fully engaged handling that growth and how to capitalize on it. We've been receiving flyers about developing the transit system for the next 25 years. A far cry from the sassy (and painfully accurate) BART twitter account calling out the lack of investment in it.
I'm not saying it's perfect, but there's some real problems with the inelastic supply of housing in the SF/Bay Area.

One underestimated part of CA's success, though, is the fact that non-competes are illegal: http://asr.sagepub.com/content/76/5/695.short http://asr.sagepub.com/content/76/5/695.short. If Washington State banned non-competes, it would have a really tremendous long-term advantage.
