As commented in the thread attached to that tweet, the comparison of statewide numbers in the 50s to just San Francisco today is an apples-to-oranges comparison. It honestly comes across as a bit disingenuous.
I'd be more interested in the comparison of just San Francisco numbers from the 50s to now. Or statewide 50s to statewide now. Or how much an effect the San Francisco numbers are having on the statewide numbers, in either time period. But all that probably doesn't fit into a tweet.

Its not even apples to oranges comparison, more like apples to stones or something like that. I'm pretty sure it was more affordable back then before the tech boom, but the numbers provided don't make sense.
