"If anything, this trend will only continue. San Francisco housing costs continue the rise, while computing infrastructure only gets cheaper and more flexible." So... don't do this in SF. One of the primary arguments I've heard for moving to SF is "that's where the money is". Well... if they're not handing out the money like they did in 99, or 2004... there's one less reason to relocate yourself (or a team) there. Yes, there are certainly other benefits to SF, but if you're expected to have built a product/service, marketed it, and begun building a customer base before you get useful angel or VC funding... you can at least attempt to do that from many less expensive locations.
