    The best project for this topic is populate a database or spreadsheet with actual data concerning gentrification. There is a lot of assertions of "people forced out of Oakland" but have never seen any facts. How many ? What age ? Where did they go ? What caused a re-location - higher rents ?, a new job ? Better schools as children aged ?... What are the current solutions ? City vs county vs private charity (the Season of Sharing lists MILLIONs of dollars in Alameda County. Where did that money go ? It seems from articles that much of the money went for rent, deposits, housing expenses. How many helped in Oakland ?

    etc.

    If the transaction engines and reporting databases used by the City can produce PDF, they can also produce ASCII texts and Comma delimited files. For a small charge, Adobe provides a facility to convert PDF to Excell or Word, but de-formatting the files is a hassle.... ASCII and comma delimited are better choices. My bet is this is a matter of training and process implementations and not a technical problem. This actually a common corporate problem also, not just cities...
