	There are two trends in the life of today's Mission District One trend is the older traditional role the Mission has played as an area that receives La Raza as they first arrive. The Mission is the first place people of La Raza from the other side settle. Some Raza can find jobs and leave after a while to live in other parts of the city. To city planners the Mission is a "holding area" because it holds people until the people can find work and then afford to move to higher income communities. But La Raza knows the Mission is a "holding area" because it gets you and doesn't let go.		There are two trends in the life of today's Mission District.

	In reality when a Brown person gets more money and moves, it is generally to another part of the Mission or only as far as the Excelsior District which borders on the Mission, and which before La Raza started moving in, contained mostly poor whites.
