The War Brewing in the Streets of San Francisco

As Silicon Valley money continues to pour into San Francisco, wealthy tech workers are displacing longtime residents at record pace. The conflict, referred to by former mayor Willie Brown as “a war brewing in the streets,” was once viewed as a typical case of gentrification. However, it now appears many of these evictions have been carried out by a small group of landowners who, according to California Secretary of State filings, may be linked to a single company.
