I don't buy that. What you are saying, is after her building was bought out and she and her neighbors were then about to be homeless, they should have formed a political organization? Where, exactly? I mean, she went to one town, who knows where the other 5/10/50 people went. That kind of argument comes from a very privileged position of a person who hasn't been gentrified out of their neighborhood. This is a direct result of greed; not capitalism or democracy (I mean, we aren't even a democracy, but a representative republic).

> after her building was bought out and she and her neighbors were then about to be homeless, they should have formed a political organization? No. By then it's obviously too late. You have to act before laws are passed that drive your constituency out of town. But there are a lot of places where this has happened and renters have a lot of rights. And, BTW, the city of San Francisco is one of them. I am not a landlord, but I am told that it is nearly impossible to evict someone in SF.
