Google I/O is one of the hottest tickets in town, and gaining entry to today's keynote and the rest of the sessions that are going on this week is no small feat. Yet that didn't stop two protesters, who began screaming out their complaints against company officials at different times during the 2.5-hour long keynote before being dragged away by security. Both protesters were part of local tenants' rights activist groups, Eviction Free San Francisco and the Anti Eviction Mapping Project.
Wait, so this guy owns a building and doesn't want to rent it to anyone anymore? How dare he....
According to the Ellis Act which he is using as his legal impetus to do this, he can evict people from his property so long as he doesn't rent it again for a set amount of time. Basically, he can't turn around and rent it again.
Makes sense to me, it's his building. What's the big deal here? Honest question.
