Counter intuitively I think we might be entering a time when being poor in SF is a boon.

With all the wealth going around many people feel ashamed of the obvious disparity of their success and the truly destitute. This could lead to a competition of virtue signaling among the SF wealthy to "give back" to the poor. Kind of like how you see the rich always donating to needy charities or celebrities at canned food drives.

Of course, helping the poor will just be social lip service but it will lead to tangible resources for the destitute.
