You are absolutely correct! Areas east of the Mission (over on Potrero Hill and 3rd St.) used to be ghetto-like housing, but now with FB and Google staffing up, and their employees wanting to live in the city, those areas are now very upscale and expensive places to live. It only follows that The Mission District will experience the same explosive transformation. I worked in the area in the 1970’s and it wasn’t a place you wanted to be after dark, now it’s a completely different story and the low-income (mostly minority) folks are not going to be able to stay no matter what the government tries to do.
