Whatever they’re doing is clearly working in comparison to whatever it is the entire west coast of North America is doing. Are you saying that they could be doing even better if they just emulated San Francisco?
As others have said, they're fully aware - after all, they've been working in such places all their working life. It's just an accepted way of doing business and plenty of people are happy to work in such places (due to almost always being blocked by something, you don't have to put in a lot of effort, while the pay is often very good).
