Finally tonight, a look inside the gentrification bubble in San Francisco.
Three, two, one.
One of the results of the Tech Boom is that rent has skyrocketed, making the city of San Francisco virtually unlivable.
Unless, of course, you're killing it.
Let's take a look inside the home of one of the many tech entrepreneurial giants living in the Mission District.
MAX: Come on up!
STEVE: You're younger than I thought you'd be.
What's your name?
MAX: Max.
Max?
MAX: I bought a place in 2011, when the market was down.
You must have been two or three when you made that deal.
You had a lot of really nice stuff here.
What's your favorite piece in the house?
There.
STEVE: Over there?
MAX: Yeah.
You have a great eye.
Vintage.
Look it, they close by themselves.
These is all marble.
Safety, Sport, Hybrid.
So you have all your bases covered.
Sell.
Sell.
Sell.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Let me show you the rest of the place.
So you have two guest bedrooms here?
For sleepovers.
This is your bedroom?
Yeah.
Wow.
This is, like, the size of my apartment.
This is where I like to meditate.
Excuse me for a second.
How are you so driven?
What?
I said, how are you so driven?
I just want to make the world a better place.
That's pretty simple.
I mean, how does it feel to be one of the most successful five year olds in tech?
Well, I don't know.
But it is fun.
STEVE: Yeah, it looks fun.
What do you do all day?
First I go climb the mountains, and then have breakfast.
What do you have for breakfast?
The jams and the jellies, pancakes, eggs?
What?
I like pancakes and waffles a lot.
Pancakes or waffles or pancakes and waffles?
Pancakes and waffles.
You have a gigantic appetite, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
