That's not really a draw of San Francisco unless you're a female heterosexual or a homosexual of any kind. The gender ratio is pretty damn skewed. Also, the old "odds are good, but goods are odd" saying shows how people actually feel about living in monocultured, gender-skewed environments. |

Also the same article suggests that 2.2% of households are gay male, while .8% are lesbian. That means the heterosexual ratio is even better.
Now I'll grant that it's easy as any place to run in circles that are skewed, and as much as we might wish (and often work) for it not to be the case, there are many more men involved in developing. If you only work and go to tech events (or other heavily gender skewed events, like Magic:The Gathering events), it might seem pretty skewed. But it's really not. There's a lot going on in the city.
Even then, "[the] odds are good, but [the] goods are odd" sells developers well short.
