How cyclical is this? Say there is a middle-class-flight for the next few decades to the Peninsula or Marin, SF deflates for many years, then eventually artists start moving in for the cheap rent and abundant space, and the cycle starts all over again, the $10 cold brews return. I think this was somewhat the case with Downtown Los Angeles.

I've heard similar things about New York as well. In the 70s, NYC was a crime filled mess. But it was cheaaaaap. And the cheapness brought in young cool bohemians and now it has the opposite problem.
