San Francisco Bay Area Booms: From the Gold Rush to Today in Just 217 Seconds | KQED News

- Perhaps the single most daunting thing about trying to distill the history of the Bay Area into a few blog posts is the sheer volume of stuff out there - first-person accounts, histories, documentaries, websites - detailing the region’s past.
A big part of that story, of course, is how quickly a landscape we can scarcely imagine today was remade into the metropolis. Here, we attempt to give a glimpse of that process, from the earliest days of the Gold Rush to this morning’s stop-and-go traffic on the 101.
2:22 If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.
Thank you, Scott.
@@wannawatchu66 M-MY NAME’S NOT SCOTT! MY NAME IS GAWAIN PAUL!
@@wannawatchu66 Anyways, you’re welcome.
It’s sure gone thru some changes in my 65 years. It will always be home but I don’t get that happy vibe anymore.
Beautiful I'm so fortunate to live in San Francisco Bay Area, even I'm not borned on this special place now is my lovely home. 😍
sweet vid! Thanks for sharing. :D
No mention of the farming and ranching towns that were grew up all around the bay in the 19th century and were swallowed up by suburban housing tract in the '50s-'80s? Boo.
Excellent comment. I remember all the fruit tree orchards in the south bay back in the late 70's and early 80's. I miss the old Santa Clara valley.
@@NyeGuy-yv2dv I miss the old San Francisco and old North Bay where I am from.
Yeah bruh. You can’t get anywhere without a car outside of San Francisco
Mind if i use these points for my next project?
2020-2021 Pandemic boom
lol
SF has so much history
My mom had one of those old maps, would love to have one of those with the old sailing ships and the hills. Great town!
interesting place
PROSPERITY
BONANZA
Ans now all the San Francisco natives are getting priced out
Evan Reepen ALSO 200,000 PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA ARE LIVING IN TENTS, HOMELESS SHELTERS AND ON THE STREETS. THEY HAVE A DRUG EPIDEMIC, AN INCOME INEQUALITY GAP SKY HIGH, HEPATITIS OUTBREAKS AND MORE. CALIFORNIA IS A 3RD WORLD LIBERAL UTOPIA DUMP. NOW LIVE IN IT LIBERALS. YOU CREATED IT
Evan Reepen the culture is lost. Creativity is dying out. I’m stuck here... tbh too
Since the gold rush the natives have been priced out and homelessness was rampant. Homelessness is always a big issue when a city expands as rapidly as San Francisco, it makes it hard for everybody to get a slice of the proverbial cake. However this is why we have government. Unfortunately, sna francisco has been pandering to the industries and not to its people.
@@soultaker840 Well, he's right.
@@ItsNotFate Well, that and a lot of its people want to preserve the culture and history of various districts. More than a few affordable housing projects have been shut down by public vote in the Mission, Noe Valley and the Castro.
I remember been in San Francisco back in the 90s it’s a fine town
Bay Area , not San Francisco Bay Area
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:28 Well, almost Denisovan.
One hell of a city.
All originals being pushed out of their hometowns due to gentrification
What about the “poop on the streets” growth rate?
It's 30 p/s for a quarter mile street (downtown) and getting worse.
Wasnt a problem before the city gave tax cuts to all these tech companies so they could bring in their boring upper class employees who’s only life motive is to buy and consume and developers to turn San Francisco’s historic buildings into trendy condos for rich white out of town yuppies, pushing everyone who used to live on the city onto the streets or out of the city completely
Republican propaganda
@@razasoldier3041 For some reason, it's really important to Republicans that one of, if not the, best states in America is actually not good. The most sought-after state, the one most people want to live in, is bad! You can't make it up
Shout to the Bay Area from the Central Valley neighbor to the east 🤘🏽💯
Love it here . Most beautiful part of the country.
It used to be. Sadly it’s not the same happy place that it used to feel like.
@@mountaindew3201 it still is, you’re just not looking in the right places then. Get out of the cities and into our wilderness and its still gorgeous
@@Palpo_pics go back and play with your blue bugie
Interesting video I think they should do a video on the population growth of the eastern united states on how 250 million people live east of the 98th meridian line of longitude because as populated as California is the eastern united states has 5 time as many people from the 98th meridian to the Atlantic Ocean.
Great vid
awesome..love the city

Not anymore, this whole area is becoming a dump. All this homelessness on top of all other issues is making me question our leadership and my next vote
@@supercarnitas yeah good thing trump is out of office now we need new some out too
@@josealamo3007 what
@@horseplop9 shut up bruh. Y’all the same.
More like this please 🙂
I grew up in Sunnyvale. My dad paid $29,000 for the house. It was all pear orchards and hay and tomato fields. I worked in Cupertino when Apple stock was $1. I’ve been in LA 35 years now but the bay has a special place in my heart. Biden 2024
Lol sleepy joe is a joke. Sure let’s vote in the guy that has dementia and starts bombing the Middle East 2 months into the job. No wonder ca is a dumpster fire.
I assume you regret your voting decision? I'm not a trump supporter, BTW
I left in 1996. Don't miss it one bit
I got 4 guys to move with me to San Francisco, after Hs, graduation we went to the bus station and rented a house in SF, we always pooled our money so whoever was not working stayed home did the cooking and laundry we were glad to pitch in.
This "new gold rush" is making our housing prices harder for us natives living here. SF's small land area isn't meant to take in mass migration like Los Angeles, or New York. There's not enough space for the new people trying to fit in. Sorry.
GojiraLegionnaire well it’s happening either way

Uncle Chuckles Hey guys, look! Another bitter baby boomer 😂 this is the 2nd time I’ve seen you leave that same comment. I can tell you’re passionate, but maybe there are other things to worry about? Maybe read a book?
Josephine Hernandez I was born in 1982 😉
I don’t want tall buildings around my house🖕
Cool tape
The correct terminology for the Bay Area is a megalopolis not a metropolis.
Haha! My friend’s heart was bitten by me.
then COVID happened and drove out all Tech business out of California.
Come to San Francisco if you want a city that only appeals to the 200k income bracket
Update the video ...
The city is having a cleanse as good alternative fabulous lady !! 2021 shim is going to be skinny ..
Watching this in 2021
nice video not one mention of the Ohlone, the Karkin, the Miwok, or the Patwin though? or the California genocide? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_genocide
Wonder where its at now after we made history again...
B.s.! People alive in 1840s & on did not build the city of san Francisco. They may have moved some mud from the already constructed buildings & streets, but thats it.
Omg could not find any black people in archive video? SF was the Blackest city west of the Mississippi after WWII, with a Black population of about 43%. I did not see that in the video. And to mention the Chinese and Japanese populations and communities that contributed deeply to the population growth and infrastructure expansion.
Yea, it's a blindspot in Bay Area history that deserves a deep dive.
The video was 3 mins long, relax
@@3ladeRunner yo, it was 3 mins of almost all white men. i am not sure how the word relax comes to mind. And also, no to unsolicited advise.
@@sulaimanhyatt8000 for 3 mins it covered the basics, don’t be obtuse. The three biggest Bay Area booms were because of the gold rush, ww2 and semiconductors.
Don't forget the latino population in the Mission but now because of gentrification, all the latinos and black people have been getting pushed out of the city by techies and because of NIMBYism, not enough housing is built.
Crazy how those beautiful buildings were constructed so quickly by ppl with horse & buggies
kicking people out that were born and raised in San Francisco new motto
History repeats itself, the native americans who were born and raised in the bay area were murdered or kicked out of their land.
Yep.
The Californios got kick out as well.
The Bay Area has tons of space to build housing, suburbs, skyscrapers, freeways and beyond. Get the EPA out of the way. There is zero reason to have 100k plus homeless there.
The name should be changed to the San Jose Bay Area since it has become the largest most populous city in Northern California.
Example not many not from here could find it on a map. The whole world knows where SF is.
@@occamsrazor1285 People must be living under a rock if they don't know where San Jose is on a map in this day and age. It's the center of innovation with the most patents in the nation.
San Jose only has a higher population because of artificially drawn city limits. It is not denser and it's barely a city really.
@@Am-Not-Jarvis What an ignorant comment. Not even a real city?? I don't know where you're from but you need to educate yourself. Not only does San Jose have more people than SF but more land as well. It's a sprawling suburban city.
@@gabrieltrejo2533 Educate? I have a masters in urban planning. San Jose is sprawled out suburbia, just as you said, and therefore not a real city like San Francisco.
Simplistic nonsense just like most of what comes from KQED. One of the richest PBS stations in the U.S and all they do is re-broadcast BBC and raise yet more money.
2021 new year boom
SF did what Taylor Swift said. Shake it off 😂!
the only thing really boomin is the homeless population
Too bad there's no money in homeless.... I'd buy stock if homeless was on Nasdaq.

Shame on the video editor who is guilty of committing the video atrocity of BBC (Blow-up, Blur, Crop) 4:3 aspect ratio films and video (or 4:3 films transferred to video) to fill the 16:9 frame. Doing "click to fill" may look OK on a computer screen (other than the unnaturally overly large images) but on a TV the loss of resolution is terrible. You are taking standard definition video and degrading it to substandard definition video. You are also altering/censoring the carefully composed and framed 4:3 aspect ratio images by the historical cinematographers. Leave 4:3 alone!
😂
The US destroyed one of the most beautiful bays in the world.Sea life was immense. Nothing that we have to take compares to what it was except maybe the Galapagos.
Then the pandemic
Bay Area
like 👍 👍
👌💥
🇺🇸
And now the tech implosion and everybody's leaving
Lmao no
San Francisco Bay is where god will give the state an enema.
San Francisco, more like San Francesca! Hahahahaahhahaha!
SF needs another good earthquake. Say an 11 or 12 on the Richter Scale
Caligula Perrv ALSO 200,000 PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA ARE LIVING IN TENTS, HOMELESS SHELTERS AND ON THE STREETS. THEY HAVE A DRUG EPIDEMIC, AN INCOME INEQUALITY GAP SKY HIGH, HEPATITIS OUTBREAKS AND MORE. CALIFORNIA IS A 3RD WORLD LIBERAL UTOPIA DUMP. NOW LIVE IN IT LIBERALS. YOU CREATED IT
the bigger the better, fuck this little town san freakcisco
Yes we need to keep people and tall buildings out of here! Get the fuck out we don’t want you here!🖕
That's a dumb thing to say. Especially if you live there.
And if not, how would you like to have an earthquake where you live? Perhaps your town is perfect, filled with perfect superior people and therefore could never have a natural disaster. 🙄
@@MalteseKat fuck san freakcisco racist town
