^^^ interesting, never thought of it like that. wish i had known some of that before i made this. i did some research and never came across that kind of info. right on.
and thanks to everyone else who gave me feedback i really appreciate it..
Just some stuff i picked up in some of my economics courses, there are no easy answers though. I was basically displaced out of the bay cuz of the cost of living and my folks had to move to a pretty undesirable part of Hayward because the West Bay got too expensive. I'd figure with the economy going to shit rents would go down out there, they have in Phoenix you can get a studio apt out here i've seen as low as 400 a month probably less on the south side where things aren't very sweet.
I do wish Phoenix and Arizona in general were more focused on higher education as much as the Bay area and the heavier populated parts of Northern California. Thats why there is such a high number of people out here living below the poverty line, you definatly don't see the hipsters flocking in droves trying to move to Phoenix lol. I guess theres a silver lining to that cloud haha.
Bottom line is that its all about money, gentrification has its good and bad points depending on what side of the fence your on. It is part of the reason that the SF bay has been one of the strongest economic regions in the world. Higher educated people coming in = economic growth and higher paying jobs for the folks with the education level to fill those positions. Of course the negititive side is alot of the stuff you mentioned in your video is going to happen as more people come in from out of state. These scenereos have to have an additional effect in the Bay since its fully developed and there is no where to build homes for the new people coming in.
Basically the opposite is happening out here. We had a housing boom that went to hell people are leaving the area due to the poor economy and the everlooming threat of being deported because to the strict new immigration laws. Your not just talking illegals from Mexico or where ever but they are taking their american family members with them in alot of circumstances. The Main people coming in to the state are retirees that won't stimulate the economy as efficiently as a working professional, especially after alot of these old folks lost their shirts in the stock market.
Thats why I'm getting my education to hopefully have a little more control of my own destiny on top of the personal accomplishment aspect of getting a degree.
