In ‘Rent Check,’ San Francisco kids see their anxieties and dreams realized 

In his new web series “Rent Check,” comedian Mike Evans Jr., a San Francisco native, tells stories about how onerous it is just to get by in the place he grew up. 

“There’s something magical about the Bay. There’s a lot of beautiful, diverse ideas and perspectives in San Francisco. But there’s a false reality,” he says, having to do with urban displacement. To newcomers who say, “I want to change this. I want to put my store here, I want to move these people out,” he asks, “What culture do you expect to still be here if you’re trying to push s— out?”
