Some people sound like supreme a-holes. From this article focusing on the murders that continue to take place on and around Mission, but one example:

“It’s kind of scary, but kind of fun,” says Dana Humphrey, 28, as she sat eating at Gracias Madre, a vegan restaurant where the tacos aren’t cheap. Her friend Alexis Papeshi, 28, who lives in the Marina, agrees. “It has some cachet,” she says. ’Oh we are in the Mission, we are so cool.’”

Tacos aren't cheap is an understatement at Gracias Madre. That is one of many ABSURDLY expensive restaurants elbowing into the Mission, along with their a-political, self-focused set of fools-for-clientel. I'd Gracias, Madres if the gap between conspicuous consumption and three-job working class folks were more like a puddle.
