I am not going to attack tech or the prosperity that it has brought.. but as someone born in San Francisco a long time ago I have to stress that the city has changed and lost a lot of the creativity that used to make it interesting. SF used to be a place where starving artists and musicians could live. Now they live somewhere else: Oakland, Austin, etc. The same thing happened to Manhattan.
I don't think there is anything you can do about it. I don't think it is bad. But it makes SF a boring scene relative to other places in the same way Manhattan became culturally boring relative to Brooklyn. Or maybe London is becoming boring relative to Berlin. The wealth will stick with these established cities, but new culture will happen somewhere else.
