From CityLab:
The San Francisco Chronicle ran a tongue-in-cheek quiz allowing readers to see if their neighborhood had turned “upscale.” The 22-item checklist, published on September 19 of that year, proves a couple of things: one, that even three decades ago, Bay Area residents were ripping out hair follicles over gentrification; and two, boy has the price of coffee gone up! Five dollars for a pound of beans? Try $18.50 for a mere 12 ounces in San Francisco today.














Perhaps some of your readers could come up with a new list for the 21st Century. Like:
Brew Pub – 10 points
Let’s try it…
A bike shop – 5 points
Jugo Juice in your subway station – 20 points
