San Francisco, California And Powell Streets

The documentary San Francisco 2.0 examines how San Francisco city officials have given tax breaks to the Silicon Valley tech industry to move to San Francisco. These new techs companies have brought in a lot of wealth to the city, but at a cost. The majority of the low-income natives are being evicted or having their rents raised so high that they can't afford them. The gentrification of the city has impacted low-income districts (for example, the mission district known for its Latin immigrants) that the residents and the culture are being displaced. I believe the documentary is important for the study of the issue of gentrification because San Fransisco was known for being-counter culture, caring for the arts and for civil progress. The housing

When cities begin their journey of being gentrified, many locals become displaced. Displacement is when locals are uprooted from their homes, due to outside factors, and forced to move elsewhere. According to the Urban Displacement Project conducted by U.C. Berkeley, “Gentrification results from both flows of capital and people. The extent to which gentrification is linked to racial transition differs across neighborhood contexts... Displacement takes many different forms—direct and indirect, physical or economic, and exclusionary—and may result from either investment or disinvestment” (U.C. Berkeley). Many people are coming into San Francisco’s Bay Area because of how diverse each element is. However, according to Census numbers, between 1990 and 2010, 35.7% of San Francisco’s black population dwindled (Bliss). 35.7% of the black community within San Francisco suffered from displacement. An additional 53% of low-income households in the Bay Area are at risk for displacement and gentrification (U.C. Berkeley). This has definitely left a dent within the diversity reputation held up by the Bay Area. When such a strong large part of people leave, The City will experience a shift in culture and community. Whether, it is the real estate, the food, the different cultures, the Bay Area has always been known for being different. Perhaps, this is why so many outsiders are coming in and buying up every piece of land they can. Whether their intentions were to purchase land and

Over the past twenty years, San Francisco’s Mission District has experienced a tremendous amount of change. Similar to many neighborhoods across the United States, it has been undergoing a gentrification process in which increases in housing prices, redevelopment in buildings, and a shortage of rental units have left many of its low-income population homeless or on the verge of becoming homeless. In order to understand the controversial issue revolving around the gentrification process taking place the Mission District, it is essential to know the history of the Mission District, San Francisco’s geography and housing laws, and the socioeconomic impacts of gentrification.

We looked at a variety of ways to help alleviate this cost. Since one of the main issues causing high living costs in the Bay Area is shortage of housing one of the possible solutions could be building more housing. Possible problems here are that San Francisco itself is not too big of a city and in most cities of this type in the world the population density is increased by building tall buildings –

Hayes Valley is currently known for having tons of new and hip boutiques, restaurants, bars and has been recently one of San Francisco’s hotspots for art installations. Situated about three blocks away from Civic Center and about four blocks from Market, Hayes Valley offers a quiet escape for local San Franciscans who want to splurge on fine dining and clothing in contrast to other commercial parts of San Francisco filled with tourist. By no means is Hayes Valley’s commercial neighborhood only for locals, it attracts tons of tourist day by day, but in comparison to most of the other neighborhoods in the city, Hayes Valley is a modest destination t that has gone through a drastic change in the last two decades.

           From a tourist perspective, San Francisco is gold, but beyond the golden hills and the high amount of bays are a boatload of issues that are not obvious by just looking at pictures. For one, there is an obvious difference in the poor and the rich and, by obvious, I mean there are people sleeping on the same sidewalks the rich have their Porsche parked. This is mainly due to the gentrification that goes on in San Francisco. Gentrification is the process of buying and renovating homes and businesses in an area to suit the taste

An important factor to consider when buying a house is the location. Specifically, people pay attention to its immediate surroundings to grasp if the area is safe. This notion is highly apparent in urban cities. Spanning a wide diverse area, Downtown Los Angeles is very intricate, consisting of many different parts. For example, there is Little Tokyo that has numerous authentic Japanese shops and restaurants. It is one of the main tourist attractions that people visit. Then, a couple blocks down, people will find themselves in Skid Row —the infamously dangerous territory. This area, in particular, is a place that I avoid because I fear for my safety. Skid Row is considered dangerous because of its high amount of homelessness. Because of this,

This case involves an investigation of the factors that affect the sale price of Oceanside condominium units. It represents an extension of an analysis of the same data by Herman Kelting (1979). Although condo sale prices have increased dramatically over the past 20 years, the relationship between these factors and sale price remain about the same. Consequently, the data provide valuable insight into today’s condominium sales market.

Something to keep in mind about Lake Forest, the community consist of several neighborhoods, each one having its own distinct characteristics along with home features, causing the real estate prices to changed week to week. The listing below reflects the differences in age, location and home size.

All the averages exclude serviced apartments or branded residences, those are trading at a higher price (I can analyze those if needed).

In order to answer this question we first have to consider whether the value provided to the commercial and residential markets is the same. While it may look like the value is similar, upon closer inspection, we can identify an important distinction between the values provided to the two markets:

The difference in asking and selling price could be correlated with the number of days on the market and very similar reasoning as to why it is a weak variable. The seller will most likely not allow much difference in their asking and selling price because of the appraised value. Also, looking at the coefficients of these two variables, I can see that change in them do not impact the price very much. The number of bedrooms is not a significant characteristic because it is correlated with the square footage. It seems a little odd that the number of garages is insignificant. However, the mean number of garages for this data is above one, meaning the average house in Blowing Rock has at least one garage. With a garage being fairly standard amenity for homes in Blowing Rock I can understand it not being a very significant factor on the price compared to the other characteristics. Living in a subdivision is not significant for this town as well.
