It really doesn't look good (especially in SF) when most of those long-term residents are white and the newcomers are more demographically diverse. Pretty much all of the defining traits of segregation

The only thing you lose (materially speaking) are property values. What's the point of complaining to other people about your property values? Why should we care?

Since when was most of SF’s folks white?

The folks complaining the most from what I remember were the Latinos?
