Residents upset that rich Google 
employees are making housing unaffordable are demanding that the buses pay a fee for their use of the 200 public bus stops.

Rebecca Solnit reports that "young people were starting bidding 
wars, offering a year’s rent in advance, offering far more than was 
being asked," 
and in some neighborhoods rent has gone up 
by 135 percent over the past year.   More people and small businesses are also facing evictions because 
they're getting ousted by tech executives and employees, Solnit writes.
