Not only that, but the tenant is responsible for all maintenance and repairs.

This is absolutely not the case in my buildings for our SMB that is in the single digit millions in revenue. We can make changes to non-load bearing structures and we are not on the hook for maintenance or repairs on the building.

Is it a shared building? For the type of building the op was talking about (e.g. single tenant industrial warehouse) it's typically the tenant who handles maintenance.

There’s a ton of stuff around that though. Tens of thousands of paying customers need support. Credit card teams. Data center guys. Guys to right deployment tools. Security guys to monitor the credit card system. Hacking together a proof of concept is simple, running a big business is complicated.

LOL, first/second tier tech support and data center guys should be nowhere near SF. It is overkill!

> "...data center guys..."

Where else would they be?
