Police had to clear the streets of the left behind shanties in front of landlors John Wai's home so that traffic could resume after protesters left.

John Wai, shameful San Francisco landlord is evicting low income tenants from his buildings by using the Ellis act and then renting units at higher prices. The Ellis act has been instrumental in wide scale evictions of tenats whose rents were controlled. The Ellis act provides a loophole to evict these tenants and in the overheated San Francisco rental market the Ellis Act has been used repeatedly.
