Thank you, my friend PO1 William "Chip" Nagel for making us aware that the "Last Black Man in San Francisco" is a film inspired by the real-life story of Jimmie Fails.
As seems typical for "gentrified" districts the authorities and realtors, bankers etc encouraged the inhabitants to move out so that gentrification could begin.
Jimmie Fails tried to reclaim the Victorian-style house where his family once lived, in the now-gentrified Fillmore District.
"It was blacker, you know," Fails says. "It used to be like out of a Spike Lee flick or something: boom boxes and dice games. It wasn't this ... dog park."

Palmer IV aka "JP4"SCPO Morris Ramsey SGT Michael Thorin SGT Robert George SGT John " Mac " McConnell SP5 Mark Kuzinski SP5 Robert Ruck SPC Margaret Higgins Maj Marty Hogan SSgt Brian Brakke Sgt Arthur Caesar SFC Joe S.

Gentrification had overtaken many areas, making them unaffordable for the average person.
