City Residents Protest Against Rich Google Employees

    Some people in San Fransisco blocked a bus carrying Google employees in protest over rich employees increasing the costs of living in their city. A sign posted by a light controller read "Google Scum."

    According to the story, some people are being evicted from their apartments/homes to make way for rich Google and other technology employees, which is referred to as gentrification (affluent people pushing the less affluent out of a community).

    Is the domination of Google and a few other select technology corporations finally starting to be felt by everyday citizens?

    "bus was blocked in San Francisco's Mission district"

    If I was in the Mission district I would hope to get evicted, that place is a cess pool.
