Why do RCGs and people in their 20s live in SF?
Why are most youngsters living in SF? It seems like a dirty city with bad weather. They are willing to lengthen their commute just to live in SF... What's wrong with Mountain View or Palo Alto? South Bay? Why do they have less youngsters?
Because SF has nightlife and single women. Living your 20s in the suburbs is to miss out on the best things about that life stage.

No one cool uses this acronym
I was surprised by how boring the Valley was when I visited in 2017. You have to drive everywhere, and NIMBYs prevent density which contributes to a dynamic environment. San Francisco, despite all of it's problems, is a great American city. Oakland ain't bad either.
Not every part of SF is dirty. I have so many colleagues and team mates who think Soma and market Street is SF.
It’s not?
As many already pointed out - where else in the Bay Area can you enjoy the kind of life that a young person wants? I am very glad I spent my mid 20s in an urban city elsewhere though.
Vibrant environment. Go see some shows at Make Out Room or The Saloon (oldest SF bar) in Northbeach. I would not live or park in SF bc petty crime is rampant.
