Pondering for my final story...

I know the biggest challenge I've had covering the Excelsior District is the separation between residents whose families have been living there for generations and the newer waves of immigrants. These "Natives" want to convince themselves that the district should stay the way it was when their parents or grandparents first came to that part of San Francisco. In reality, these people whom where once the majority, have become the minority among the bigger population of Latinos and Asians.

The problem here is that there is no communication between either parts. Though the Excelsior District Improvement Association wants to improve the Excelsior, they are not really putting the effort to include the bigger population, which are Latinos and Asians.

This creates tention among the residents. Gang violence is an issue in the Excelsior and these people have become very territorial. That is going to be my biggest challenge. I want to explore both sides, the older generation and the newer generation and see why there is such a greater separation between the two.
