I am really hoping that we can find a way to merge this topic with a discussion of crime levels in Oakland.

All my middle-class to upper middle-class income friends moved out of San Francisco years ago because it was too damn expensive, though we're expected to believe that the poorer working class residents of San Francisco would be able to survive for the longterm if it wasn't for all those Google employees flocking to the city.

Gentrification of the Mission started a while ago back in the 90s, this isn't new, it's just the apex of a trend. The people who are getting really mad about the latest round of gentrification are really the people who were the previous gentrifiers. To the Hispanic residents of the Mission who've been slowly priced out for fifteen years, I doubt they give a damn to make the distinction whether it's artists/hipsters or tech-workers who are gentrifying their neighborhood and raising prices.

I'm not sure who's right there, but I know who's wrong... Artsy activists blocking the sidewalks and roads just to jump up and down and make a point about not inconveniencing SF residents.

let's add in cheap/safe housing in a desirable area of SF for the trifecta of asinine topics!

Yeah, those elusive Pacific Heights penthouses that rent for $500/mo.

How many of the tech workers are from SF itself? Maybe there would be less tensions if more people from the city were being represented in the tech industry. Are the local schools producing enough tech savvy students?

Duh.
