Given that four of the FAANG companies are headquartered, not in San Francisco, but in suburbs south of it (Menlo Park, Mountain View, Cupertino, and Los Gatos), I'm not sure what you're on about. Los Gatos isn't perfect, but it's not some haven of homelessness and crime.

It's still a lot more chaotic than either Colorado, where I was born, or Taiwan, where I've spent most my life. To me, the US west coast was always a sacrifice of quality of life for career growth. If you need a code to enter the bathroom at your local coffee shop, you might want to consider moving somewhere with a bit higher baseline for public spaces.
