The jobs go where the people are. If companies can't find people in SF because no one can afford to live there they'll move.

Maybe. But a lot of companies open offices where their owners want to live, near related businesses, near relevant universities, and so on.

They may yet leave. But if so, what will SF have accomplished? Becoming Aspen on the bay?

Having office capacity for more people than housing has capacity for is the problem.
