The Displacement Bomb Set to Explode San Francisco... and You’ve Never Even Heard of It

2. They'll expect everybody to live over in Oakland

and take BART into San Francisco to work those minimum wage jobs and sub minimum wage jobs like waitressing at that artisinal donut shop(pe). Then Oakland will get increasingly gentrified. Developers are conning city planners by promising a certain percentage of low rent apartments on the bottom floors while dangling higher tax returns in front of them. Even if those apartments are built, they revert to high priced apartments as soon as the first tenants move out. That's what happened with pricey developments along that line in Boston. In the meantime, the people displaced by the glitzy building project have to scramble to find somewhere to live, especially hard on old folks who have lived in an area for a lifetime.

I have no idea what the wealthy and their corporate puppets think they're going to do for employees. They probably think they're going to get away with what they did in Palm Springs, move everybody who isn't rich out to towns in the desert an hour or so away and brush their butts out of town at sunset so nobody has to deal with people who work for a living.
