Is San Francisco Too Good For Kids And Their Families?

San Francisco's economic boom has turned the city into a haven for young, wealthy professionals, at the expense of children and families. According to recent census data, San Francisco has lost almost 4,100 children in the last decade. The city was once considered an ideal spot to raise a family, with its relatively slow growth and good air quality. However, the increasing shortage of affordable housing has pushed families out of the city. Some experts claim that the city has grown hostile toward youth and families, failing to investigate the proper planning and land use policies to create affordable housing. As technology companies fail, the San Francisco housing market is slowly improving, but experts see this change as short-term.
