Gentrification typically applies to neighborhoods, not cities. Taxes don't stay in neighborhoods.

People leaving their homes in SF are not moving to other neighborhoods but to other surrounding cities in the Bay. This may be an issue limited to SF in particular, whereas other cities may have larger neighborhoods and boroughs that sprawl, many in the Bay are their own separate cities.

This is where some more knowledge of tax distribution is needed on my part, but it's getting very difficult to be poor and even middle class and reside in San Francisco.
