Could go either way, ******* hood dudes and pit bulls 
. Walking stereotype.
Gentrification has been happening throughout history. If these communities wouldn't let their beloved communities deteriorate then these areas wouldn't be cheap.
Young people with disposable income want to live, eat, be entertained close home/work. The poor get pushed out. If you own a home in these areas you will come up. If you're a renter, landlord will probably get an offer down the road and once your lease is up. Deuces.
Sometimes I feel like people want to keep hoods... Hood. Makes no sense.

It's not that simple. A lot of these neighborhoods are "hood" because the city doesn't give a damn about preventing crime, cleaning the streets, and creating opportunities until wealthy/white people move there.

People refuse to acknowledge the social engineering such as housing discrimination LAWS. Its usually white people and immigrants or kids of immigrants who talk that bootstraps nonsense. Its almost pointless to talk about this stuff anymore as these people have that nonsense ingrained in their minds permanently.

Naw, the residents don't care about the community. They shoot each other all day long and sell drugs. Then wanna act like they're "pushed" out. In reality, they brought it on themselves in a sense.

Is this sarcasm? I'll just give a small personal example: I grew up in The Mission, which used to be one of the grimiest districts of San Francisco until recent years. My parents had just moved to the U.S. and could not afford anything better until years later, which was and still is the case with many families that lived in similar neighborhoods. What did they do to get pushed out of the community?

It's just a ridiculous mentality to have, and it's the #1 issue about gentrification. Housing prices will obviously increase over time, and sadly there's not much you can do about it. However, you don't have to resort to calling locals criminals and look for ways to get them out of your neighborhood because of your prejudice.
If 75% are good people and 25% are criminals, why punish 100% of them by forcing all of them out of the neighborhood? Why not just prevent that 25% from taking place?

I've seen it myself, not anyone get shot but I've seen how we destroy our own communities which give them more of a reason to come into them.

Lol I've seen it all on this site. Bad things happen as a result of a bigger picture so ppl earned the right to be kicked out their own community. This is why you don't argue with jaded sneaker nerds.

Okay.....we can agree she is a transplant, which means this has nothing to do with the Bay Area being soft. She's probably from Manhattan or Los Angeles. Most people that I talk to that feel that way are from there. The new generation anyways.

You...
You are the reason your parent's are getting pushed out...
You, you're a "yuppie", "hippie", whatever you want to call it.
I'm going to use my example and what is going on in the neighborhood and other hoods surrounding the neighborhood we grew up in. We, second generation, are moving back in. Our parent's got here, it was affordable, they did what they had to do to put us through school and put food on the table. Didn't demand much.
We went to school, we got an education. We are moving back into our neighborhoods, we want them cleaned up. If you're not part of the solution you are part of the problem. It's happening, couples with six figure incomes buying the house next to or across the street from their parents house or a couple of blocks away from where they grew up and fixing up these homes with their disposable income.
They are also demanding better education programs, better policing of neighborhoods.
It's you, and by "you", I'm talking about the mid 20's, early 30's college educated person or couple with a mid-$50k salary.
Keep thinking that hipsters are just white kids with trust funds. It's easy to rag on hipsters, hey, I poke fun at them from time to time. The people going back to these neighborhoods are going in to change it.
I'm in East Los Angeles, btw. It's happening here and in Boyle Heights. Love the "Stop the Gentrification" crowd. **** man, not my fault I went to school and want to come back and make my neighborhood better.
It's complicated, truly is and the narrative is skewed based on whichever side of the line you are on.
Some people get their education and career and move out, some move back and try to make a damn difference. Which one are you? If you moved out of your hood, why are you complaining about something you abandoned the first chance you got?

Bruh, I thought this was like West Oakland by MLK or something close to Acorn.
There's a high school down the street
and a Chipotle, Peet's and movie theater around the corner. It looks like Portland now. Thats like the safest part of east oakland now. What the hell is going on?

ooIRON MANoo.......even your own perception is skewed and flawed for other areas of SF. Mission might be a specific example but there are areas in SF that are totally fine that have great school programs and don't need to be redone for better. To think the people moving in this city are trying to "make a difference" is laughable. People are moving here to get closer to their jobs and trying to enjoy themselves. Maybe cause the nature of these people moving in are more civil brings a better neighborhood to that area but I really don't think it's an intentional as if they are trying to make a difference. Plus half of the people living here will move out once they have kids anyways, so this better schooling program is BS.

What's worse is the noise ordinance that residents in West Oakland about the churches in the area on Sunday.
CHURCH dawg. It's sickening.

not really on the education front...the richer folks that are moving to the cities or having kids are sending their kids to charter or private schools

It's weird to see these changes happen in certain parts of Oakland. Hopefully its going to be a long time before these people start moving in masses by where im at in the 50s.

My parents did not want to raise me in a dangerous neighborhood forever. We moved to the suburbs when I was a teenager, and I came back to the city after graduating college for work. I am not saying that I came back to make a difference; I'm responding to a comment that that guy made about how people in the neighborhoods are shooting and killing each other, so they deserve to get pushed out of the area. Your stories about people coming back to clean up neighborhoods is completely irrelevant as that's not the main issue about gentrification at all.
