Smug San Franciscans take pride in not having skyscrapers by prefering local real estate that is "quaint", "old-fashioned " and "charming". As for Vice's documentary, Vice is just as douchey as old San Fran. I bet Vice is really popular in the Bay Area. I could see a conversation at a quaint coffeehouse in the mission district going something like this **preteniously states in a negative manner** "Did you see Vice's new documentary about San Francisco? Gosh, the charm of old San Fran is on the way out due to big tech, guess its time to move to Portland."

Manhattan has almost twice as many people in less geographic space (and it actually costs less than SF at this point). There is a chasm between SF today and Manhattan's number of skyscrapers. I'd be pretty happy if we added one or two stories to all of the mid-century buildings in the western and southern reaches of San Francisco and paved over some backyards/patios to build further back.

VC funding already seems to be slowing for newer ventures, and that's really where the predicted bubble would hit the hardest. Companies like Uber, Lyft and the tech giants aren't likely going anywhere unless they get a negative court ruling against them, but the smaller startups will certainly feel the pinch soon if things continue the way they are. However, that's likely not enough to have a major impact on the local economy.
We seem to be approaching an interesting time in the startup/VC world, which is not to say that things are looking up. Questions about Evernote, the labor disputes threatening Uber/Lyft, the apparent hollowing of some former unicorns like Flipboard, and Twitter's stock tumble suggest that rougher seas are coming. If sentiment gets bad enough, the local economy will definitely be affected.
