valley of the boom
san francisco's mission district has historically been a working-class area. from the early 1960s onward the mission has been predominantly populated by working and low-income people whose first language is spanish, many of them recent immigrants. the dot-com boom of the mid to late 1990s saw an intense acceleration of mission gentrification. residents of the mission who have felt threatened by gentrification responded in various ways. a notorious example of resistance was the 'mission yuppie eradication project,' an anti-capitalist direct action group which advocated and committed acts of vandalism and sabotage of expensive vehicles, luxury housing, and bars and dining establishments catering to wealthy newcomers. the myep aimed at defining gentrification in terms of irreconcilable conflict between classes and elicited a considerable amount of media coverage. mission gentrification has also triggered responses from a variety of organizations, movements and artistic expressions. street art can be seen on roads and alley-ways in the mission district describing the negative effects of gentrification. for example, street art on the corner of 19th and san carlos depicting ten sea turtles says: "latino art only," indicating discontent from gentrification as well as from the influx of white folks in what has been a primarily latino neighborhood. the mission district is also the heart of san francisco's protests. the san francisco tech bus protests occurred in the mission district, to fight against gentrification and displacement caused by the tech boom, as well as rising prices of rental housing.
