Well, it's still relevant but high rent could easily send it on a downward trend. High cost of living is a dangerous thing for startups; I doubt silicon valley would have formed and prospered if rent prices (relatively speaking) were then what they are now.

You are basically doubting the current reality. Was San Francisco cheap when Twitter, AirBNB, Yammer, etc started?

  The founding dates for those companies are something like 2006, 2008, 2009? Rent in SF was probably half of what it is now.

    Rent was amongst the highest in the country at the time. Almost everywhere else was cheaper.
