Yikes. Do you really think places like SOMA, SLU, DTLA, etc. got better because rich people brought their 'culture' there? I'd recommend you visit said places and see for yourself, most of the 'culture' is in adjacent (usually historically minority) neighborhoods.
- frockington1 5y agoIn those places there is a huge value difference between the adjacent neighborhoods and the rich neighborhoods. This is primarily due to a culture of stability and safety
- RC_ITR 5y agoWhat are you trying to say? That DTLA is safer/cheaper than Little Tokyo (you're wrong)? That SOMA is safer than the Mission(you're wrong)? That SLU is safer than Capitol Hill(you're wrong)?

- RC_ITR 5y agoIt's amazing how often people on HN think that working class minorities have equal access to owning their own homes, despite huge evidence to the contrary. https://usafacts.org/articles/homeownership-rates-by-race/ https://usafacts.org/articles/homeownership-rates-by-race/
- motohagiography 5y agoSpecifically, I said that rich(er) people go to those places because the people who were there before them made those places appealing. Poor(er) people who made due and built a community with businesses and neighboors that attracted others. As for why people who say 'yikes' seem to scare so easily, the concern is noted and ignored.
