SF's shifting demographic

I am not surprised to hear that San Francisco is trending towards a majority Caucasian population. Increasing cost of living in the city has driven a lot of lower paid people, who otherwise love the city, away from it. With highly paid employees of Silicon Valley companies encroaching into the city, it makes the already expensive housing market even more unaffordable to a lot of people.

Even with this shifting demographic in San Francisco, other ethnic groups such as Asians will still be a significant portion of the population there. However, many of these ethnic groups have already migrated south of the city. If you go to Daly City, you will find that Asians are the majority there. Go further south to San Mateo and you will find a majority of Hispanic population there.

I personally try to avoid going to San Francisco for the fact that parking is a constant issue there. It is overpopulated with no adequate parking. That would be my push factor from living there.
