Those six years have seen a lot of change in the city, sparking tensions between longtime San Francisco residents and the tech industry.
Those tensions trace their roots back to the San Francisco Bay Area's housing crisis, where people are going to ridiculous lengths to find an affordable place to live, including turning to boats, vans, and even cardboard boxes.
