    Gentrification brings not only an increase in tax revenue that benefits the Mission District, but also San Francisco and California overall, which results in increased economic activity, more jobs, a boost in land values, and more public investment in buildings and infrastructure. Since 1995, over 100,000 people have been added to San Francisco’s population, and the Mission specifically has seen an increase of 13% to their total population (“Mission Community Organizing”). This is beneficial because the rapid population growth fuels jobs and opportunities while bringing in more tax revenue to the city. Millions of dollars come through San Francisco through the tax revenue that the gentrification process brings (Poblet). Business Columnist,…

This, in turn, is affecting the future of the community and having adverse implications for the city’s old and new inhabitants. Gentrification is the practice of revitalizing or reforming a community to appeal to higher-class tastes, most often the tastes of the white middle-class. While gentrification is sometimes associated with increases in racial diversity and does not always lead to displacement, many researchers claim that it prices out long term-residents and brings about black-to-white racial change.

Some of the advantages of partnership working are; communicating effectively, respecting all partners involved equally, adhering to ground rules and sharing information in order to solve any issues, but staying within codes of conduct based on one’s profession.
