“Gentrification. Blacks aren’t being “pushed” out, they’re leaving due to economics.”
Yes.
San Francisco costs too much now.
I meant I noticed how the biggest liberal city has become bereft of blacks.
It is like a purge.
It’s ironic given the pandering and should be used against them.
SF may have pockets of conservative living people, but it is not going to go right.
That's your opinion, not fact. I'm native born and have seen a lot of changes. As I've stated previously, SF was Republican for most of the 20th century. Long string of Republican mayors until the mid-1960s; democrats didn't vote them in. For a long time I thought SF would go black in a big way, surprised me when the opposite happened. Where I grew up in the Mission District, a third of my neighbors were black. That changed to mostly white. Lately, a large influx of Asian and latino families, and they are largely Christian. They are not queer, and they have lots of children. Lots of baby strollers to be seen now. The demographics of the city are changing, and changing in the "right" way. Queers are a minority, very vocal and involved in politics, but a diminishing minority. There are so many haters of SF here on this forum who berate SF, many times rightly so, but it can and will change for the better. Pockets of conservatives are growing in the city.
I grew up in the East Bay. Know SF very well.
Or did.
Lived in LA for the last 24 years.
What you say about SF, I see here. I think LA is more conservative than SF.
But neither is going to vote conservative in the foreseeable future.
I think there is greater chance to get blacks to vote conservative.
You may have a stake. The days, are short- the year is now. Clear, yourself. God is ...........
I hear there are vacancies in Mexico...
This is what sanctuary cities are already offering illegals (and have been paying blacks for decades); without those freebies the cities would be ghost towns and all of the government workers would be unemployed.
It was no accident that some of the “unaccompanied minors” along the border were housed in a vacant school; they are being trafficked here by our government to use that very school (and fill the nearby housing).
Blacks have been displaced in their urban hatcheries since welfare reform stopped paying them to have multiple children; one “golden ticket” welfare bastard now qualifies them for the freebies, so their birthrate fell sharply. The Hispanics that were projected to pass them in population by 2010 had already done so by 2000.
Here in NJ high taxes are used by wealthy people to keep the unwashed hordes at arm’s length. Unfortunately, the gibsmedats can still get into the wealthy enclaves to raid.
In areas that are expelling their black populations in order to attract wealthy whites (like sections of Jersey City), the blacks don;t benefit because they don’t own property.
If the black birthrate had remained at pre-Welfare Reform levels the population probably would have spread from Oakland; since it dropped to almost as low as the white birthrate, they are slowly shrinking.
Newark NJ is seeing the same thing, but instead of Asians the replacement ghetto folk are Hispanic.

All of which are honest work and not deserving of belittlement.
Thank you for the update on your city. But until you get rid of your leftist political leadership it will remain a sanctuary city and a thorn in the side of conservatism. I wish you well in trying to accomplish that.
I too appreciated your update on the SF situation.
I am from SoCal but have family in the Bay Area and have visited there all my life. The changes in SF have been refreshing, to say the least. I remember when there were homeless on every corner and in every doorway, many of them aggressive. I hated going to the Financial District - now I hardly see one of them. Someone told me they’ve been pushed into the Haight.
I visited SF last month and my daughter wanted me to try a new restaurant in the Tenderloin - I told her NO WAY was I going into the Tenderloin or Mission District at night - she said it had all been re-gentrified and she was right - I was shocked at the changes.
I think it’s gotten far safer there than in the past. 20 years ago, DH wouldn’t walk around SF unless he had a loaded gun in his pocket, now it is much better — but brutally expensive.
Indeed. So many people across the country diss San Francisco. But it's incredibly safer than other big cities. It was really seedy/scary in the 70s. Many changes for the better since then. Redevelopment and gentrification pushed skid row out of SOMA (south of Market Street). SOMA around 2nd and 3rd was hookers, drug users and criminals - now it's a ritzy district. Fillmore district was a ghetto, now that's upscale. Waterfront was dumpy warehouses, very scary, now it's a beautiful thoroughfare with glamor. Same for China Basin, now it's ritzy with AT&T park, new transit lines and upscale eateries. Thirty years ago west of Van Ness & City Hall was full of drug addicts and pick pockets, you just didn't venture there without protection. Now it's upscale and trendy. Tenderloin got converted by incoming Asians, now it's better with families and kids. I used to have an office there 30 years ago and had to dodge hookers and ex-cons when leaving at night, all changed now. These changes for the better have happened citywide. Gays are primarily in the Castro District, and even that has been beautified (personally I don't venture there!). Area around City Hall has a lot of homeless, but changes from new buildings and companies such as Twitter, have pushed the homeless to the Haight, as you said.
Things I mentioned above are part of the reason why real estate is the hottest in SF - lots happening here, lower crime, lots of high-paying jobs, lots of tech, many great restaurants. The one negative is City Hall is run by liberals; gays are not everywhere, primarily just in the Castro. In a way, I think it's a shame that blacks have largely left SF. They were part of the fabric of the city, and many that left were good families. Made my childhood interesting, as a third of my neighbors and friends were black.
Thanks; that is one depressing picture. Imagine living there...
In my area (northern NJ) they’ve gotten rid of many of them in favor of “low-rises”; helps law enforcement, who were impotent to deal with the high-rises (they concentrated crime too much). Another tactic they are trying is building smaller condo-type buildings in suburbs and requiring that x percent be low-income units (they are trying to spread the welfare population to other areas where a viable tax base can pay for their freebies (housing, school, police/fire protection), as the hatcheries have run out of money.
Who would ever buy a brand-new condo (at high prices) in a building where 10% of the units have to be low-income housing? I guess the foreigners that are replacing the Americans fleeing the state...
