But when Glass coined \u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-style: italic\">gentrification\u003c/span>, she was tapping into a specific British class sense of \u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-style: italic\">gentry\u003c/span>: the class below the nobility. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\">The members of this class, sometimes called the \u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-style: italic\">landed gentry\u003c/span>, were generally wealthy landowners who supported themselves with the rent of their tenants and cuts of their tenant farmers’ earnings. The gentry were also expected to govern over their land, acting as local magistrates and general caretakers of their tenants.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\">Long before Glass described this phenomenon, class struggles conflicted with population movement in and around London. Issues arose in the early 18th century because a population boom in London changed the culture of the surrounding rural communities. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\">Higher demand for crops required farmers to increase productivity if they wanted to stay competitive. In this economic landscape, the farmers with larger operations reigned supreme, pushing out their poorer counterparts. The prosperity of the gentry was, in many ways, directly related to that of their tenants.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\">Many centuries later and thousands of miles away, \u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-style: italic\">gentrification\u003c/span> is still a mutating part of a growing city.

During the closure, workers restored the tower's historic murals and made structural improvements to the 81-year-old landmark. San Francisco Recreation & Parks waived the normal elevator fee ($5 for residents and $7 for out-of-towners) for the day, inviting visitors to take in the 360-degree views from the top of the tower. Several politicians, including Supervisor David Chiu and Mayor Ed Lee, were on hand for a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, which took place under the stifling midday sun. \"These are historic landmarks in the city; they mean something to generations of people, and we have the privilege of reintroducing them to kids and generations of our own,\" said Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136055\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/IMG_4262.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-136055\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/IMG_4262-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Gorden, a docent for San Francisco City Guides, stands in front of one of Coit Tower's murals (Mark Andrew Boyer / KQED)\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Gorden, a docent for San Francisco City Guides, stands in front of one of Coit Tower's murals (Mark Andrew Boyer/ KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The view from the top of the tower is what draws crowds up to Telegraph Hill, but the murals covering the tower's first- and second-floor walls are also a big attraction.

The influences of prominent early 20th century Mexican muralists, such as Diego Rivera, can be seen in the tower's 27 historic murals. They depict heavy industry, labor and chaotic street life of Depression-era California — a stark contrast to the quiet streets surrounding Coit Tower today. At least one mural, which contained communist symbolism, was removed before the tower opened in 1933. \"The significance of [the murals] is that they depict California industrial and agricultural life of the time,\" said volunteer docent Val Hendrickson. \"Within the murals you can see fomenting labor unrest and the effects of the Depression.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136067\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/IMG_4297.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-136067\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/IMG_4297-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"An oil painting by Otis Oldfield covers the walls in the elevator foyer (Mark Andrew Boyer / KQED)\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An oil painting by Otis Oldfield covers the walls in the elevator foyer (Mark Andrew Boyer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The murals were in pretty good shape prior to the restoration, according to Allison Cummings from the San Francisco Arts Commission, but some of them had been scratched, and several suffered water damage. Tower renovations, which coincided with the art restoration, should prevent future water damage from occurring. During the mural restoration, all of the frescoes were cleaned, making them look much brighter. Workers also did restoration work on the ceilings and the stucco borders around the murals. The total budget for fixing up the murals was about $450,000, which enabled a team of four restorationists to work on the project for about six weeks. \"There are no scratches, there are no white areas on the murals, and it looks as it did when it was painted 80 years ago,\" said Cummings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136083\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/IMG_4306.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-136083\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/IMG_4306-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Postcards are on display in Coit Tower's new gift shop (Mark Andrew Boyer / KQED)\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Postcards are on display in Coit Tower's new gift shop (Mark Andrew Boyer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The murals weren't the only thing to get a face-lift during the six-month renovation.

Workers installed scaffolding around the exterior of the tower, and they used binoculars in order to identify cracks, according to Toks Ajike, a project manager for S.F. Rec & Parks.

So here’s a brand-new survey that shows that San Francisco is one of the most courteous cities in the country when it comes to driving. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/roadrage.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AutoVantage Driver’s Seat Road Rage Survey\u003c/a>, which was conducted in late March and early April, found that drivers in Portland, Pittsburgh and St. Louis were more courteous than those in San Francisco; Charlotte motorists were No. 5 in driving courtesy. The rankings are based on a) what drivers report seeing other drivers do on the road (speeding, running red lights, texting, and such) and the kind of road-rage behavior they admit to (cursing other drivers, flipping them off and other acts of endearment). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portland ranks first, the survey says, because drivers there are least likely to honk the horn at another driver, least likely to speed, and least likely to cut off other drivers with stupid lane changes. (My observation, from driving a little in the Beaver State, is that drivers there don’t change lanes at all and may not know about automotive devices like horns and accelerators. On the other hand, the first Road Rage survey, five years ago, also ranked Portland at the top of the courtesy list, so maybe drivers up north really are that polite.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/Road-Rage/San-Francisco.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AutoVantage says San Francisco drivers\u003c/a> are least likely to have talked on their cellphone while driving, and second least likely to observe another driver doing the same; they’re the fourth least likely to have observed another driver tailgating. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The least courteous driving cities? \u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/Road-Rage/Houston.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houston is reported to be the worst\u003c/a>, the survey says, with drivers being the most likely to see another driver cutting them off and most likely to admit performing this behavior, most likely to see someone else slam on their brakes and most likely to admit talking on their phones while driving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rest of the Discourtesy Top 5: Atlanta, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Boston. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The casual statistician in me doesn’t put a lot of stock in these rankings. I would guess that the sample size — 2,500 drivers across the entire United States — might allow one to come to general conclusions about national trends but would be unlikely to provide much really meaningful information about each of the 25 cities the report says were surveyed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And although, yes, I have a little swelling of pride when I read that my native \u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/Road-Rage/Chicago.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago is ninth least courteous\u003c/a>, with drivers there being the most likely to curse or shake their fists at other drivers, the findings for San Francisco — \u003cem>drivers least likely to have talked on the phone while at the wheel\u003c/em> — just don’t seem to jibe with what I see every day on the streets. Which is, in short, all sorts of \u003ca href=\"http://theoatmeal.com/pl/minor_differences/cutting_off\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the kind of jerky behavior\u003c/a> that I assume goes along with driving a car anywhere. I plead occasionally guilty to the above-named offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true that these are relative findings: Fewer San Francisco drivers say they talk on the phone while driving compared to Houston, for instance (a finding that may reveal Houston as a capital of honesty and self-knowledge). I’m not driving in all those other cities, so maybe San Francisco really is more courteous. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But courtesy in this case doesn’t equate with safety. And we’ve got the numbers to back that up, with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/07/san-francisco-records-seventh-pedestrian-fatality-of-2014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at least seven pedestrians killed\u003c/a> by vehicles so far this year. \u003c/p>\n\n",

So here’s a brand-new survey that shows that San Francisco is one of the most courteous cities in the country when it comes to driving. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/roadrage.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AutoVantage Driver’s Seat Road Rage Survey\u003c/a>, which was conducted in late March and early April, found that drivers in Portland, Pittsburgh and St. Louis were more courteous than those in San Francisco; Charlotte motorists were No. 5 in driving courtesy. The rankings are based on a) what drivers report seeing other drivers do on the road (speeding, running red lights, texting, and such) and the kind of road-rage behavior they admit to (cursing other drivers, flipping them off and other acts of endearment). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portland ranks first, the survey says, because drivers there are least likely to honk the horn at another driver, least likely to speed, and least likely to cut off other drivers with stupid lane changes. (My observation, from driving a little in the Beaver State, is that drivers there don’t change lanes at all and may not know about automotive devices like horns and accelerators. On the other hand, the first Road Rage survey, five years ago, also ranked Portland at the top of the courtesy list, so maybe drivers up north really are that polite.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/Road-Rage/San-Francisco.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AutoVantage says San Francisco drivers\u003c/a> are least likely to have talked on their cellphone while driving, and second least likely to observe another driver doing the same; they’re the fourth least likely to have observed another driver tailgating. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The least courteous driving cities? \u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/Road-Rage/Houston.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houston is reported to be the worst\u003c/a>, the survey says, with drivers being the most likely to see another driver cutting them off and most likely to admit performing this behavior, most likely to see someone else slam on their brakes and most likely to admit talking on their phones while driving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I would guess that the sample size — 2,500 drivers across the entire United States — might allow one to come to general conclusions about national trends but would be unlikely to provide much really meaningful information about each of the 25 cities the report says were surveyed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And although, yes, I have a little swelling of pride when I read that my native \u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/Road-Rage/Chicago.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago is ninth least courteous\u003c/a>, with drivers there being the most likely to curse or shake their fists at other drivers, the findings for San Francisco — \u003cem>drivers least likely to have talked on the phone while at the wheel\u003c/em> — just don’t seem to jibe with what I see every day on the streets. Which is, in short, all sorts of \u003ca href=\"http://theoatmeal.com/pl/minor_differences/cutting_off\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the kind of jerky behavior\u003c/a> that I assume goes along with driving a car anywhere. I plead occasionally guilty to the above-named offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true that these are relative findings: Fewer San Francisco drivers say they talk on the phone while driving compared to Houston, for instance (a finding that may reveal Houston as a capital of honesty and self-knowledge). I’m not driving in all those other cities, so maybe San Francisco really is more courteous. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But courtesy in this case doesn’t equate with safety. And we’ve got the numbers to back that up, with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/07/san-francisco-records-seventh-pedestrian-fatality-of-2014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at least seven pedestrians killed\u003c/a> by vehicles so far this year. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
