There are actually a lot of kids, and people with average jobs in SF. They just aren't white so tech people don't notice them. This, 1000x this.

> This, 1000x this. Repeating a grammatical error 1000 times does not make it "more better". If you look at actual statistics, they do seem to back up my impression: income in SF is not your typical bell curvish distribution you'd see in many other places. There are a lot of people making a lot of money, more at still quite a bit of money, and a small peak for those making very little money, and fewer in between: http://www.city-data.com/income/income-San-Francisco-California.html http://www.city-data.com/income/income-San-Francisco-Califor... Look at: Distribution of median family income in 2009 (number of people) Distribution of median household income in 2009 (number of people)

  Repeating a grammatical error 1000 times does not make it "more better". Douché. If you look at actual statistics, they do seem to back up my impression .... You're either confused about my comment or making a completely non sequitur argument for the heck of it. The claim I agreed with was that there are actually a lot of (largely minority) kids and people with average jobs in SF. That is true and can be shown so by inspection, at that. There are plenty of kids and families who live in my neighborhood (I'm on the cusp of Union Square and the Tenderloin). If you take a ride on the T towards Bayview in the middle of the afternoon, you'll also see plenty of kids. Are the public schools in San Francisco just empty, waiting for families to move in and send their kids there? Of course not. As for people with "average jobs," who do you think is serving you that latté, helping you at Macy's, or cleaning your office? They don't just ship all of those people in from Oakland. That San Francisco has no children or working class is a preposterous idea, mostly advanced by those who fail to step outside of the high-rent parts of the city.
