The gentrification of San Francisco has been an ongoing topic of contention between longtime residents of the city and the influx of new tech workers.

Beginning with the Dot-Com Boom in the 1990's, a strong demand for skilled tech workers from local start ups and close by Silicon Valley businesses has contributed to a rising standard of living in San Francisco. A large influx of new workers in the internet and technology sector began to gentrify historically poor immigrant neighborhoods such as the mission district.
