I think San Francisco is used here as a synecdoche for the Bay Area at large.

- zpallin 10y agoIt shouldn't. People need to realize that, geographically, San Francisco is not a valley. Not only that, but most of the tech companies in SF that are known for being in SF are selling web services and apps, not computers and hardware. The term Silicon Valley comes from the South Bay region where there are a number of enormous hardware and computing companies. SF should be called "App Hills". That would actually make sense.
