Throughout the boom, San Francisco was growing at around 5% per year. Including 7% in 2012, the year I first moved out there!

Now, there's nothing to stop SF from growing at 5% per year this year as well. There's no reason it shouldn't. Expanded tech workforce might do it.
It's just other metros are also going to see growth jump from a meager 1-2% to a roaring 3%.
negative-0% : feels miserable, terrible sad stories
1-2% : sort of boring, but okay
3-4% : yeah! the kind of vibe you get from 90s movies set in New York
5%+ : Burning Man level insanity
Broke: Working in tech means you have an intuitive grasp of exponential growth
Woke: Working in tech means you have an intuitive grasp of economic growth
