  What do you think this says about economic disparities in the city? What about the "techy" vs. "hipster" groups?

  I think that this is just capitalism at work. While I don't like the idea of such a large wealth gap on this country especially in our large cities which have seem to become only for the wealthy it is a part of what happens when a population becomes so large. It seems like a meaningless argument/issue that these busses are a problem. If they effect the Muni schedule I could see why there would be a problem with it. But as the article points out these busses will help pay for new Muni stations across San Francisco. These busses have hardly anything to do with economic disparities in San Francisco. Overall no harm has been done and people are paranoid about San Francisco becoming owned by Google or Apple with no grounds too.
