Moving from downtown SF to a suburb of SF does not count as "leaving San Francisco".

You're still using the same airport. You're still able to have in-person meetings with the same people. Travel time from SF downtown to your new place is significantly less than between two opposite ends of Beijing or Seoul.

The only people who live in SF still are the ones who are forced to be there for work or investment purposes. It’s no longer the mind share Mecca it was once.

It may not have the mind share density it once had, but it’s still significantly more dense than anywhere else.

Agreed but it used to be you literally had to be there or you were not in the mix / no deal flow / weren’t taken seriously. That’s no longer the case and things are much more distributed online now.
