Nobody complained when the Hispanics moved the bums out of the Mission District.
I used to live and drink in the Mission back in the 80’s. Good times.
Excuse me, we weren't bums! I was born and raised in the Mission District of San Francisco. During the early 1950s, it was clean and a pretty good place to live. And it was a Republican city, had been for many decades. The main business streets of Mission Street and 24th Street were lined with fantastic retail stores and theaters. Within a couple blocks were several huge theaters with giant marquees showing top-name movies. In between movies were entertainment acts and raffles (you got two movies plus cartoons for one ticket). Stores had lunch counters inside, the largest at Woolworths and Sears. There were soda fountains with delicious milk shakes and ice cream.
During the 1960s the Hispanics started drifting in, and within ten years everything started going bad. White flight began, and a nice Italian-German neighborhood started looking like Tijuana. Within twenty years, all the nice stores and all theaters were shut down, crime was rampant, and gang wars happened. My family got out in the early 1970s, after my mom was purse-snatched several times and our cars stolen four times. We never had to lock our front door when Hispanics didn't live there. Mission Street became a cesspool of vegetable marts and flea market kiosks. No more big retail stores, no furniture stores, repair shops or soda fountains. All the nice restaurants disappeared.
Fast forward to the 1990s, and the return of white (and asian) professionals. Nice restaurants and retail shops opened up. Ritzy coffee shops and boutiques opened. Neighborhood is looking nice again, and crime went down. So now the Hispanics are complaining about losing "their" neighborhood (that they "owned" for a couple decades). I welcome the changes. Now if only they can get rid of the murals and graffiti, it would be pleasant.
