Clarification for anyone else not familiar with Bay Area geography: There are 101 cites included in this regional study.

There’s a lot of data here I think is stitched together in support of a presumption presented as a conclusion, but one question:

> According to estimates from the US Census, the Bay Area’s population grew by about 10% from 2010 to 2019 [...] Yet of the ten richest cities of the 101 cities in the Bay Area, not one of them grew faster than 5%.

By how much did the area’s population of the richest grow? That is, if it grew at a rate of 10%, did they move elsewhere? If 5% - is there any point to the rest of the article? If less, wouldn’t astronomical property value explain why poorer groups didn’t move to these specific areas?

As with so many political issues, this is about economic class - and the differences in characteristics between them:
