A "failed city" and "$#!+hole" with some of the most expensive housing in the country? That can't possibly be a seriously-intended claim. If SF is in such obvious trouble, why is it that everyone still wants to live and locate there?
Personally seen this play out in Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore for a long time. There's a huge contingent of knowledge workers who have no intent of putting down long term roots there. It's just somewhere to extract wealth from with high paying jobs and housing costs are simply another acceptable tax on that.
Stay a decade, make bank, move somewhere where you can work at leisure. Isn't that the dream?

And rich white tech bros complaining about crime and homelessness from their ivory tower is disgusting. You're so detached from how humans actually live that you're threatened by just SEEING them, not even experiencing it.
It’s impossible to avoid. It’s worse and worsening. Pretending it’s not is the worst sort of self-deception.
