Of course it is, you're in Oakland.

I look forward to my hipster overlords if they ever make it to San Lorenzo.

I hope North Concord gentrifies more so. Although it's not really "low income" there is a trashy/low class element present. Some nice neighborhoods really close to two BART stations and good downtown with potential.

We don't need every neighborhood to be one wealthy enclave after the next.

Fact: historic areas, urban centers and being close to jobs is once again valued in society after a 50yr hiatus. I think this is a good thing and Oakland will invariably become upper-middle class. What is needed is smart density and public transport throughout the Bay Area, so people can easily find housing within a reasonable commute.

I agree, wanting a place to be less trashy doesn't necessarily translate into being a "wealthy enclave". Something along the lines of Pleasant Hill or Clayton. If Concord could just improve it's schools that would really help.

Compared to the rest of the nation the entire Bay Area is a wealthy enclave.

People would think you had a mental defect if told them you just bought a 60 year old house that is 3 bedrooms and two baths on a tiny lot in an area with average crime, average schools, one hour from work each way with traffic all for 700k.

Gentrification does not cause more traffic. It causes an increase in the carbon footprint, as a trail of smog from SF to Stockton grows.

...until they take a look at the reality of the housing/jobs situation in the region, then they will see this is the new normal. Limited housing stock, massive salaries, ever more high-paying jobs opening up...seems the result fits the recipe.
