I'm surprised that the Tenderloin has resisted gentrification for so long. Why is that neighborhood so impenetrable?

  My guess would be housing or building regulations. That said, developers are starting to build, what else, high-end luxury condos in the Tenderloin or close to it. I've heard the word "Trenderloin" bandied about unironically. So there's that.

  According to their numbers, rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the Tenderloin actually fell 12% last year. What's going on there?
