San Francisco

Wonderful city, but the middle class and families — the two elements that make a city thrive — are becoming an endangered species. San Francisco could soon become half a playground for hipsters and the nomadic rich, and half a squalid district for the permanent lower class.

If San Francisco doesn't watch it, it's going to turn into a cross between Carmel and Calcutta.
