San Francisco attracts people who want to do Big Things. It attracts people with technical and business smarts. I do not think it follows, though, that it attracts people with general life smarts or, as you put it, people who are "better at life." The sort of strike-it-rich personalities that are drawn to the San Francisco gold rush are not always the same personalities that are conducive to good old-fashioned happiness and contentment. And it's certainly going to attract a lot of people who will put work and Big Things over the raising of a family.
