Not quite sure what you mean by "succession." You mean why did they live there? South of Market (in olden days "South of the Slot") used to be a very inexpensive place for laborers to live.

It wasn't as simple as "Hate", although racism I'm sure played a part in it. The fact of the matter is that the Irish moved up the social ladder and moved to the Sunset District.
