Gentrification CA-Style

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* When I was a yuppie in San Francisco back in the 80′s, I lived in the Castro for about two years. Me and two other straight guys had a flat in “Noe Valley” until that dissolved and we went our separate ways. My take away from being the only straight household on the block was that we weren’t liked and we weren’t welcome. Some of it was the fact that gays are just as prejudiced as the rest of us, only their hate is direct at straight white men. The worst was the men (the lesbians all lived over the hill in Hayes Valley) who went to the SF specifically so they could be openly gay. We where a constant reminder that there was a wider world inhabited mostly by “breeders” and our mere presence reminded them of the shame that they felt in whatever little corner of middle America they left. The Castro is a ghetto.

On a related note, I remember picking up a copy of the local rag, the SF Bay Guardian if I remember correctly. It is a typical left wing dreck but like every other newspaper, it had an obituary that covered they gay community. Like every other obit, it sad who they were, when they were born, who their family and lovers were, AND WHERE THEY WERE BORN. Not a single one was born in SF (3rd, 4th, 5th … generation San Franciscans’ are quite proud of it and now few). Gays had pushed out the normal Irish who grew up there until the 1960′s and now claimed it as their own. I knew one guy who would now be about 55 who said he could remember when there was only on gay bar in the Castro. How times change.

* Anaheim has got real trouble in its future. They have recently switched from city council members chosen at large to council districts of equal population, with illegals and other non-voters counted. La Raza will be demanding a bigger cut of all that money from Disneyland, Angels Stadium, and the Duck Pond.

* I can’t help but notice the parallels between anti-gentrification sentiment and anti-immigrant sentiment. Instead of “diversity,” I think we should start calling it “cultural gentrification.” And “immigration” should be “the gentrification of white people.”

After all, the same people are behind both forces.

* Mexicans are professional minorities; low education, very little money and dependent on a welfare state. Once Trump is elected most will self deport the rest will be sent back to Vicente Fox for rework.

* There’s been several murders of Asians by Latinos in S LA and the OC, worse most of the Latinos are renters or waaay upside down on their house and way overhead.

The city of Bell CA is 87 % renter.

Trying to evict these people will be impossible, I’m thinking they’re thinking “sub-prime program to rent controlled house forever” is their living plan, and Kamala Harris’ too.

Nearly all the sub-prime banker settlements didn’t go to those burned investors but for bailouts for the liar loan fraudster speculators that bought homes requiring 400% higher incomes than they had.

Then there’s the drug cartel unlimited income aspects to Mexican invasion, many are rolling in cash.
