Overview
Mission Resources
The Mission District, long an immigrant enclave, has a strong history of organizing and activism as well as arts and culture. After the 1906 earthquake, Mission Street became the cityโs main shopping area while downtown recovered. It has some of the cityโs oldest housing stock and displacement has long been an ongoing issue as newcomers look for affordable space.
