How long have you lived there? Are you "poor" by SF standards? These are the long term trends I've seen in my lifetime (50 years, nonresident but visited ~5 times): - dotcom/SV pricing out almost everyone else - leading to, unsurprisingly a homeless crisis - also worsening the property value NIMBYism continuing to exacerbate the housing crisis - the dystopian culture destruction effects of a host of services designed for apartment shutins built in-town or south of town - finally, a host of policy failures enacted due to excessive virtue signalling and a social left wing gone rampant, although actually this is political paralysis of various NIMBY virtue signalers doing what they can to stop the undermining of their property values. A lot of these are issues faced by other cities as well, hamstrung by two party deadlock at various levels of government.
