Ah yes. In both New York and San Francisco there are fun and exciting zero-sum dominance games, combined with the overhanging threat that some communist like Bill de Blasio might get elected and decide to take away your future rental income by tightening the rent control regime. And people wonder why the rent is too damn high. Not sure which city has it worse today. Of course, in New York in the sixties and seventies, over a third of the apartment buildings in Harlem were simply abandoned and left to rot, and the Bronx was burned; I'm not aware of similar destructiveness in San Francisco (notwithstanding even the Japanese internment which replaced Japantown with the abominable public housing in the modern Fillmore and Western Addition).
