Having witnessed the eras of gentrification in the mission district (my family has a small business around 20th and mission), the same people that are complaining that 'techies are forcing them out' are the same people that forced out the large hispanic community in the mission just 5-years earlier.
I shall not shed a tear.

- michaelochurch 13y agoI have little patience for hipster leftism. Liberal politics, for hipsters, is just a way of saying, "I'm nonreligious, so you can assume I put out". As a nonreligious leftist with more restraint than that, I'm offended by their use of those stereotypes. They turn into New York's limousine liberals 15 years later. They gripe about "capitalism" but run nonprofits that are even more authoritarian and exploitative of the low-ranking people than most companies. Bitch, please. You just hate capitalism because you couldn't make it in that world.
