San Francisco is a prime example of gentrification and it is going to continue despite widespread protests from supporters of low income and highly subsidized housing. Entire districts in the City (SOMA, Mission, Richmond, Sunset, Marina, etc) are being impacted. The simple reason is the incredible demand in the City. Regardless of the type of housing, be it a single family, multi-unit, luxury condo, or even mixed-use structure. Speaking strictly from analyzing SF, gentrification occurred partly due to businesses (reference tech companies in SF like Twitter, Uber, LinkedIn, et al) being offered significant tax incentives by the SF Mayor's office. Add the significant influx of highly skilled and well compensated tech workers flocking to the City, is it any surprise housing prices (including rents) are the highest in the Nation? Even without the dramatic increase of tech workers, professionals from various industries such as medicine, law, finance and of course, small business are in abundance in SF! As a long-time native resident I am not remotely surprised by the increasing gentrification occurring throughout the entire City. The challenge is finding balance without creating highly costly entitlement programs to support greater low income housing. In a few days we are voting and it will be interesting to see the voter results.
