I wouldn't worry about Comic-Con leaving. I work with them every year and no one from that office has mentioned the possibility of moving to LA or Anaheim (some have even mocked it as a conspiracy theory). The convention center mainly wants to expand to host multiple shows at the same time. For example, when my agency ran Schwab Impact (a little over 7000 attendees), we only utilized 3/5 of the available space. The convention center struggled to rent out the remainder and I think they ended up booking some mini-job fair. 100,000+ conventions are very rare and generally like to stick to the same cities. SF has Dreamforce, Vegas has SEMA and CES, and we have Comic-Con. It's extremely unlikely that any of those will go anywhere else in the near future.
