Arranged in a horizontal row, casual clothes, eyes on the phone. Do not have more than 30 years and when the bus that takes them to Mountain View headquarters of Google, go up one at a time without taking his eyes from your smartphone. A "good morning" lazy and just inside the driver. It is the army of engineers, programmers, employees who have chosen to live in San Francisco rather than in Silicon Valley. Google for them - along with the City - has provided bus with free wifi and dark glasses that use the circuit of public transport. There is only the G-Bus: even Apple, Yahoo! and Facebook have their own private transport. Born against the abuse of automobiles (an environmentally friendly way to manage the flow of labor force that moves every day in the Valley), coaches have become a symbol of class struggle which is in San Francisco on his laboratory.

Chris Carlsson, founder of Critical Mass, lives in the Mission District by the end of the Nineties in an apartment on two floors filled with drawings and photographs. Places the beginning of the process at the end of the nineties with the boom of the so-called dotcom companies. The activist recalls the signs displayed in the windows of shops in the neighborhood turned to the "new rich", which alternated welcome invitations to stay out of the city. As is known, the bubble burst, and - says the activist - 'for a while' the city he thought he had filed the colonists. " A decade later, Carlsson is one of the thousands of citizens who risks being evicted from day to day to make room for them.
In San Francisco rent control is active: rents are blocked to protect the most vulnerable communities and preserving their places of origin. In 1986 the State of California passed a law, however, known as the "Ellis Act" to protect homeowners, authorizing them to terminate the contract to exit the market and recover their homes.
