SoMa has seen tremendous change over the years. The worn-down buildings that made up the neighborhood were eventually replaced by clubs and other trendy spots in the 1980s. The 1990s saw a huge rise in rental prices for many portions of San Francisco. SoMa was no different. The clubs were replaced with living situations that only the truly rich were able to afford. As the 90s drew to a close, and the dot-com bubble exploded into a million smaller bubbles, the prices for many of these buildings decreased dramatically. In the end, SoMa offers plenty of housing possibilities.

At the same time, you can also find plenty of examples of an enduring nightclub culture.
