Google lawyer Jack Halprin sparked protests in San Francisco's Mission District last year when he began evicting tenants from a building he had recently purchased and moved into.
Halprin began the evictions under the Ellis Act, which allows landowners ? many of whom had purchased buildings at a discount because of rent-controlled tenants ? to push tenants out so the buildings can "go out of business."
This usually happens so that the buildings can be converted into condos.
