The funny thing is that while SF has been worrying about Manhattanization, the northern and downtown waterfront parts have been going through Bay Arealization where a lot of the interesting arts and ethnic communities are displaced and have left entirely, a lot of new jerkboxes are being put up to house affluent tech sector workers, rent in those areas have maintained their ridiculous climb, and skyscrapers continue to get plopped down.

That doesn't seem too different from what's happening in Manhattan and Brooklyn if you take out tech workers and replace skyscrapers getting plopped down with a massive skyscraper boom.
I know SF did just get their first super tall recently though: The Salesforce Tower

It's by the same architects behind The Copper Building and Steinway Tower in Manhattan
