I can't answer that to a T, but what some of these techies make would definitely surprise you. I'm also in tech (e-commerce) and make a humble living, but some of these guys would blow your mind.
The median household income in SF is $73,802 (vs. $53,046 nationwide), but many people are still being displaced to neighboring cities (read: oakland) or counties. I make significantly more than the SF median household income by myself and can't even see myself living in some of the swanky neighborhoods in SF.
If you're not on section 8 housing or making at least $125k, SF isn't the place for you.
