Ok fair enough. My assumption was that real estate everywhere in SF was in crazy demand and that if there wasn't demand that meant there was something wrong with the place. There was also OP's comment about being "alone" in the neighbourhood, but maybe I misunderstood. I do think separating culture from race is dodging half the conversation, but I can't argue with your observation that this is the reality of how most people in the area think. Thanks for the feedback.
