you're going to have to leave your gentrified haunts to find my bike, michigancat.

But most of the complaining is from middle-income folks (like the types who can afford to go to music festivals) who don't like the new kinds of people and businesses coming in, our their expensive rent. It's really fascinating to watch as an outsider.

In this scenario, it is theIn this scenario, it is the landlords who are the leeching parasites, living off of the hard work of those in the rental market. Always so entitled, yet contributing nothing, while they take advantage of their neighbors, the landed gentry feel almost like it is their birthright to always demand more from others. This is a bubble, it will contract, and rents will drop again, the vultures will know fear again.
I have no idea, but it's hard to imagine that too many low income people are being priced out because almost all are already long gone from SF. It seems like it would be more like a second wave of gentrification with people who have made the choice to live there now getting priced out - perhaps even after contributing to the first wave of gentrification themselves.
or better yet, if they have a problem with america, maybe they should take their asses back to wherever they came from in the first place. this is america. this isn't poorsville, north america.
San Franciscans (or people who live in San Fran) really have a lot in common with the tucks in Kansas when you think about it.
