Having lived in SF since 1996, I'd like to formally refute your point here. I'm quite happy with SF. I also live outside the Mission gentrification world, but do work in the tech industry. SF is still weird, it's still got its distinct character and it's still part of an incredible geography. I like being in the West because it's as much a psychological distance as anything. I say this as someone born and raised in Virginia.

I'm always amused at people's attitudes about San Francisco, and San Franciscans. Keep 'em coming.
