In San Francisco we
have a neighborhood called the Mission that was once an Irish neighborhood, then Hispanic
neighborhood. The Mission District had a cool gritty edge to it. Financially
well off 20 somethings could feel this coolness,
and decided to move into the neighborhood en masse. Now the neighborhood is
quickly filling up with privileged college educated young people, and has
become an unappealing brew of snobbery and entitlement. The irony is in the process of trying to buy the cool
vibe of the neighborhood they have killed what made the neighborhood appealing.
