Abstract
Efforts to redefine San Francisco after the Second World War were divided into sections with the downtown “renewal” set for high-rise development and a clearing of single room occupancy hotels in the western part of the city (including Chinatown), South of Market and the Mission District. These were inhabited mainly by retired workers of all ethnicities especially elderly Chinese and Filipino men. Two sections of the South of Market area were also home to a vibrant Filipino community.
