Reporting from the front line of gentrification in San Francisco's Mission District, Solnit projects the end of city life for bohemians and the baleful consequences for American culture. Solnit is rueful about the decision of cities like SF to increase rents so that poor people, artists and writers can no longer afford to live there.
