I don't know, maybe they prefer to live on benefits in a cheaper place? If you live on government support, jobs in your area don't help you and the higher price

I don't know, maybe they prefer to live on benefits in a cheaper place? If you live on government support, jobs in your area don't help you and the higher prices worsen your situation.

They want to live in San Francisco. SF has always been a "rebel hub" of freedom and anarchy. Its that rebellious spirit that somewhat made the valley what it is today. Ultimately, they call that place their home and wish to say. Market economics however are forcing them to move. Therefore, conflict exists. Honestly, the solution is to build more Apartment complexes and strike down the zoning laws that prevents the new buildings from going up.

  That doesn't explain that they resent the creation of service jobs as they seem to do. That would only explain that they resent the creation of highly paid tech jobs and the increased demand for housing.

  You got that right. Everything yellow in this map is zoned 40-X, a.k.a. buildings taller than 4 stories are not welcome: http://i.imgur.com/Tn7CSTX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Tn7CSTX.jpg (You can make maps like this at http://propertymap.sfplanning.org/ http://propertymap.sfplanning.org/)

  Who gives a shit where they "want" to live. I'd like to live on the upper east side in Manhattan. Time for them to move to a place they can afford and stop the whining. I hear Detroit has a lot of cheap housing.

    Ironically, this is the true anarcho-capitalist approach to the problem. Part of Anarchy is that when the prices go up and you can't afford the area you're living in... you should move out to a place you can afford. It is strange to see Anarchists as the ones who are most rebellious against gentrification.

      Different anarchism branches disagree very strongly on some issues. That's not surprising at all. However, the housing market in SanFran is anything but free.
