    never mind the irony in choosing to assault someone based on their appearance as a way to preserve San Francisco's culture.

Exactly. This is the part where the "anti-gentrification" crowd can go fuck themselves. Betrays a complete lack of understanding of social history.

This is (kinda) happening in Austin as well. There's a huge backlash against basically everything that's making Austin one of the richest and most progressive cities in the US right now. I swear half the people who have been living here for 20+ years would like the city to go back to its divey roots even if we all suffer for it. Totally clueless.
