'Largest-ever' Silicon Valley eviction to displace hundreds of tenants
Demolition of 216-unit complex is the latest example of rising income inequality in a region home to many of the world’s wealthiest technology companies.
....roughly 670 tenants who are being displaced from their homes in what local housing advocates believe to be Silicon Valley’s largest-ever mass eviction of rent-controlled tenants.
Residents of the Reserve recently learned they would all have to move out by April of next year so that developers could move forward with construction of new housing that many of them will not be able to afford.
The Reserve evictions are part of a much broader trend of northern California communities becoming unaffordable to middle-class people in the face of rapid gentrification and a booming tech economy.
