Long live the Bay Area! 
Oh yeah, gotta love having to pay thousands of dollars a month just to rent a place here. Got to love the smell of and filthy streets and bums everywhere and loud people. Yeah, San Francisco is great.
My guess is that many conservative people are leaving both the Bay Area and California in droves. The only people left here are those who are forced to stay for work or family obligations, or the lefties that love the free handouts and hippies that still haven't figured out that it's not 1969 anymore.
Although there isn't a big move towards growing taller, there is a lot of growth in condos and the like in downtown areas of Bay Area cities.
This is true. Just going down Market Street you'll see a crane every two blocks. Problem is, the NIMBY mentality around here prevents any upward growth. San Francisco itself needs more high rises, you know, like a REAL city, but every time someone attempts to build a development that's not a public housing project, the usual suspects always complain and complain and complain.
We actually have a ballot initiative in November on whether to "approve" a luxury development by the Embarcadero. With limited land, you have to build up if you want to grow.
The quaint victorian homes are great, but there comes a point where modernization and improvizing has to occur. Population IS Growing here, mainly because of the tech industry--but regulations and political correctness continues to hamper growth.
