Maps of San Francisco
Struggles over finite space are endemic to urban life, but in #San_Francisco the battles can be especially fierce. As a peninsular city, its geography alone limits its capacity to absorb newcomers, a constraint exacerbated by extensive regulatory obstacles to building new housing. Most recently, the influx of monied home buyers from Silicon Valley tech companies has transformed and gentrified entirely new areas of the city, such as the Mission District. The process has sparked more than a little tension as longstanding residents find themselves priced out.
