I lived in SF for ~10ish years up until 2020 and still return regularly for work/friends.

I agree that it is mostly downtown that is dead but the rest of your comment seems hyperbolic to me. Hayes Valley, Valencia, Polk was way more lively when I was there.

> best job market

The hundreds in SF laid off this year may disagree

> most lucrative

yes, incomes and stocks do generally increase yoy. Tautology.

> and most advanced

as does technology

After all the layoffs we still have an unemployment rate of of 3.4% (as of Nov). In Seattle it is 3.6% (as of Oct). Also the fact the population is increasing probably reflects job hires. It's expensive here. Who else would move here? Maybe AI startups...
