This is absolutely not true. It's way more affordable for pretty much every single one of them to all live in the South Bay with a 10-20 minute commute. They live in SF because it's less "boring", as if boredom comes from where you live rather than one's own lack of imagination. I know tons and tons of people who do the SF/SV commute every day, but only one of them lives in the city for any other reason.
