And hey: I lived in a loft in SOMA. I'm not an anti-gentrification crusader.
Example: I have a friend who lives at Divisadero & Hayes, and passed on an article that attacked him (personally, but anonymously) as a gentrifier: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405297020412420457715...
The writer complains about the loss of the "culture"...but the only meaningful change we can see here was the disappearance of drug dealers and violence.
