SF was created during the madness of Gold Rush, and it changed over nite. Then it got raised twice to the ground, and got rebuild again.
The Japanese got kicked out, and the Chinese and African Americans moved in.... etc. etc.
Than the 60s and the hippes came, then the 90s and the dot commers came.
SF has always been a city in a huge flux, as a place of great opportunities, and attracted many people with the "gold rush' mentality
Your grandparents propably were some of these people that came to SF for these opporunities.
