Those statistics dont mean anything. San Fran has the highest median family income out of any major city.

Exactly, she is just another typical san fransiscan. Not born here, claiming residency, and bashing working class folks.

Well then, let's just make up whatever bull**** we want, since factual information doesn't mean anything!

How does the median family income matter? I don't see how the fact that a lot of wealthy people live in SF discounts the fact that a lot of working class families live there too (haven't been "priced out" as you so certainly declared).

Exactly. I only made $42k/year when I first moved here. That was only 3 years ago. I make a lot more now, thank God, but $42k is not a lot any where and I survived.

If you think working class people arnt getting priced out of san fransisco you are beyond blind. and probably not from SF either i take it. Sf is notorious because behind manhattan its the number one place where even MIDDLE class people are getting priced out. Quit pretending.

im pleased to be able to have an educated discussion "black neighborhoods" i live in diverse district of sf myself -lakeview and i echo the comments of another post -its a block by block thing. my block people are relatively friendly and wave and that sort of thing and happen to be predominatl black (im not)

i would look at deep east oakland between 102nd and the san leandro border, eastmont hills, and maxwell park
All 3 are mostly black and quiet, affordable, middle class neighborhoods.
I realize this is an old thread, but it could still be useful to someone

I'm from here and I've never characterized an area as "Black" in the way that people in other areas of the country do. For example: friends from LA moving here and wanting to know where the "Black" nice areas are. My response is that Black people in the Bay Area live everywhere. We don't have a "Ladera Heights" or a Baldwin Hills because people live where the want to. If you can afford it, you can live anywhere.

So while the area you mention may be predom Black, I would still not call it a Black area. People segregate themselves more by income than by race.

Geeze, just realized this thread is 2 years old.
