Richmond is a great part of town, my friends used to live there and I enjoyed visiting them. But the transit accessibility is terrible. Even with express busing it takes up to 40 minutes to get downtown. If they put in better mass transit options, it would be a much more suitable place to live and I think you would see this map even out more. That said, the people that live there tend to be older families that have been in SF for a long time, and to them that's probably not a high priority (they often live under rent control and probably don't work downtown in tech). If you change the status quo, you threaten their ability to live there by raising prices. I don't think this is going to go away until the exorbitant valuations on tech startups does. It's the main force that's driving these price increases, just like it was during the first bubble.
