Sorry to see you leave San Francisco. I've had a similar introduction to the city and don't intend to leave. One subtext that I'm reading into your article (incorrectly, perhaps), and seeing lots of elsewhere, is a subtle guilt among tech works for the salaries they make in the Bay Area. I understand that as techies we're inclined towards a sort of egalitarianism, but perhaps there's an inherent conflict somewhere between that and the exits and acqui-hires and searches for small fortunes.
