San Francisco Description

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

The San Andreas fault line has caused constant development nightmares for large urban areas such as San Francisco as well as the other cities built on top of it. Fault lines are one of the side effects of the earth’s tectonic plates shifting that can result in devastating earthquakes. Some of the most devastating earthquakes in our modern era have occurred along the San Andreas fault line due to a dense population. The most notable and destructive earthquake on the San Andreas fault line occurred in San Francisco in 1906. The reason this earthquake was so deadly was because of its magnitude and the city’s poor planning. This earthquake was a wakeup call for San Francisco and force the city to revolutionize its knowledge on earthquakes and how to protect their city. Today San Francisco is one of the most well prepared cities for an earthquake and has made great discoveries in earthquake safety measures. The 1906 earthquake in San Francisco has drastically changed how the city has developed its zoning and building code policies, and its earthquake research.

The city council`s members are Richard A. Garbarino as a mayor, Mark N. Addiego as a vice mayor, Pradeep Gupta, Karyl Matsumoto and Liza Normandy.

In this article it also infers to the audience or me specifically about how San Francisco California is not only one of the hottest spots in America right now due to its upcoming event(s) but they also tell us about the wide range of homeless people that live in this area. Unfortunately since the Super Bowl is being held in this area, as January 30th they have started to begin placing these homeless individuals in other cities hoping that they draw

The rhetorical significance of the documentary San Francisco 2.0. shows that the tech gold rush in San Francisco is bringing wealth to the city so it’s seen as a positive contribution, but at the cost of the city losing its soul. Many residents of diverse backgrounds that made the city’s culture are being evicted due to landlords’ greed to capitalize on the new tech bros that are flocking to the city to make money. Many business and artists are affected due to rent being tripled to accommodate the new residents. Technology brings progress, but it also increases class segregation because the wage gage increases. The rich are getting richer, while the poor stay the same. The city officials say the city of San Francisco benefit from the tech gold

We drove up the coast to San Fransisco and it took forever! Someone broke in, I got promoted and we saw the Phillies lose to the Dodgers. I got stuck in the airport for 2 days, we found Randy’s donuts and stayed in an airstream in the middle of Malibu.

I noticed that the city has humid climate that is slightly modified by its relative proximity to the Atlantic Seaboard and The Great Lakes. The area experiences extremes of all four seasons, with temperatures ranging from zero to 90° F depending on the month. The city experiences a significant amount of rain most of the year and a slight bit of snow during the winter time.

I left for work but had to walk, as no streetcars were running. I was

San Diego’s climate usually stays below 80 degrees. Every once in awhile we get heat spikes during the summer. In the winter and fall months, our

Famous for its Golden Gate Bridge, street cars traveling up and down the hilly city, and a haunted prison abandoned on Alcatraz Island, San Francisco is a city unlike any other. San Francisco during the early 1900s, too was a great city. It was on the rise from the gold rush and a fairly new transcontinental railroad that connected the growing western city to the rest of the united states.

ocated between San Francisco and just south of Sacramento is the delta region. The Sacramento/ Bay Area delta area was once vast marshland where 5 regional rivers converged with the Pacific Ocean. Since the discovery of gold over 160 years ago, the area has been excavated and reshaped into a maze of interconnecting levees and waterways. With over 700,000 acers of land and water, the region is an estuary that has become a habitat for over 750 plant and animal species such as migratory birds and an abundant population of fish (Austin, 2015). Most importantly, the delta region provides fertile farmland and drinking water for two-thirds of California’s population.

Two towns. Both located on the coast of California. Both are small, bounded by the ocean. Both hold around 40,000 citizens. One town, Martinez, is my hometown. The other, San Luis Obispo, is four hours south of it and home to my favorite college. On the outside, they seem pretty similar, but after experiencing the culture and lifestyle of each, one could not disagree with me when I say they are extremely different. The most notable differences are the coasts of each one, their downtown areas, and the activities provided by each city.

The habitat and ecosystem of the San Francisco Peaks is rare. The Mountains are located in the middle of the desert, so the
