I know it is easy to fall in love with San Francisco and the Bay area in general, I know if from a personal point of view having lived in SF. It is way too easy though to get blinded by your own business area. Gary put it correctly, cost of living is e.g. stopping most people working for the city of SF to actually live in the city. In the pure Web 2.0 software world you only meet your media geeks from SOMA but there is a lot of really poor people in SF who barely survive but I have to say only in SF can you get to see Marc Benioff taking off with a roaring sound from his AMG SL Mercedes up the hilly streets while SF police are kicking the homeless people to see if they are still alive or not.
Anyway on the business side, you miss the reason that a lot of startups create their HQ in bay area, just to get the needed legal connection between VC and IPR rights and the company as a legal entity. There are scores of startups in Silicon Vlley with just some few employees where the bulk of people are anywhere on this planet. I happen to be in wireless and the Silicon Valley infrastructure and support just sucks.
