If the families and people that would benefit from this economic boost cannot afford to live in the areas being fed by these taxes, who is it benefiting? The people who already bring their own wealth?

There is also the issue (especially in SF and now Oakland) of the effected parties disproportionately being minorities as well and that these changes in landscape are racially exclusive.

I do admit to not having much knowledge of tax distribution in the Bay Area, however, but it is definitely a different situation than Detroit.
