Omschrijving

HBO documentary San Francisco.

In Alexandra Pelosi’s new HBO documentary, San Francisco 2.0, she explores the tech takeover of her hometown and how the sharing economy has changed San Francisco — and many other cities — causing a dramatic shift between the rich and poor. Pelosi spoke with tech industry leaders, the residents who have been forced out of their homes, and politicians about the impact of the city’s tech revolution. The changes in San Francisco have been dramatic and swift over the past few years. In my time there I worked at a gothic bakery in the Mission District, an area where it seemed a new restaurant appeared on a monthly basis. Walk down Valencia Street with a friend who has either been abroad for a few years/has been in prison/mysteriously disappeared for a while, and they will feel like they’ve stepped into a new world, a city unrecognizable to its former self.
