San Francisco has reached 'peak unaffordability'

Yeah man it's slowly moving into that downtown brooklyn type of situation my eyes have been open for the longest.

Weirdly enough that building their construction next to the airtrain hasnt been built yet the lot has sat empty there for a long time...

Ridgewood and Astoria been getting gentrified. Ridgewood especially since it borders Bushwick...the neighborhood Vogue Magazine said was "the coolest neighborhood in the world".

I love visiting the SF but the last few times I looked at prices for a plane ticket and hotel out there It would be cheaper to just take a trip to Europe.

Its not like there's as much to do in SF supposed to NYC either. You're paying more for less.

im not from there but im over there a lot. maybe 3 days a week. i just don't see it happening. im not trying to shyt on your opinion especially bc you're from out there and see more than me. but jamaica, north or south, isn't gonna be a hot gentrified place. despite the LIRR access its still way too far from the city. matter fact i took the train into the city from there this morning and with the normal morning delays it took me 1.5 hours to get to work. starbucks doesn't mean anything. a lot of people come to that area for the court and the starbucks is right there. im with you in spirit but i just don't know. CACs wanna give up their cars and move to the city and shyt. if you don't have a whip out there... it's real tough IMO.

But that's how they begin it begins, with a slow ripple, a little starbucks here or there, a few white or asian residents moving in. then comes the condo's then comes the niche' clothing stores, then comes the hipsters and the over reaching of the police, the trash gets picked up more often the cops are out more...

And with the influx of new residents and new buildings then comes the raising of property values, rents and taxes...

You may not see it happening but it is... it's a slow burn but it happens...
