Yeah I agree, maybe that's because young people that aren't shutin programmers for dotbombs are priced out of SF.
The rise of cost of living in urban environments has outpaced inflation quite substantially (certainly the real estate prices have) for quite a while. The colloquial gentrification cycle of gays -> artists -> college kids -> yuppies -> rich people requires a poor neighborhood as a starting point (usually a white one)... there's seemingly none of those starter neighborhoods anywhere in major cities, so the art and music has left the major cities.
