Apple Bus Blockaded In SF Protest Against Tech Owners, Speculators And Evictions

Thousands of San Francisco residents are being evicted as a
result of a massive increase in housing costs caused in part
by the bussing in of thousands of tech employees from Silicon
Valley.

On December 20, 2013, people threatened with evictions and
community and labor activists stopped an Apple bus on 24th
St. and Valencia. The police removed the protesters and they
then marched to 24th and Mission. This is the second blockade
of a tech buses that are bringing thousands of new workers
into San Francisco and threatening long term residents and
working class people with low income.

The escalating number of evictions are also creating a growing
anger and terror among the residents and many fear they will
end up homeless. The San Francisco mayor Ed Lee and the
Board of Supervisors have given tax subsidies to tech companies
such as Twitter and have allowed the use of the MTA Muni bus
stops for these tech corporation buses with no enforcement of
traffic regulations and fines for illegal use.
