Actually, this isn't true. First - SF was not 'tech' until the mid 2000's. Some people - yes. But no HQs. The Silicon Vally was where it was at. Also - up until the 1990's at least, the Valley was just a burb, mostly affordable, not outrageous except in some little spots. In the 2000's it started to get weird and 2010+ is when it got 'bad bad' and SF became a true hub. In the 1990's regular folk could buy homes, Engineers could buy normal homes on normal terms. Large swaths of SF ware garbage.
