Several dozen protesters briefly blocked a Google bus Friday morning near San Francisco’s Dolores Park in order to raise awareness about a Google executive they say is evicting multiple tenants from a Mission District apartment.

Protesters gathered around 8:30 a.m. and marched to 18th and Dolores streets, where the group stood in front of a bus with banners before being cleared away by San Francisco police.

The group then marched several blocks to the home of Jack Halprin, an attorney and Google’s head of e-discovery, who activists said bought and moved into an apartment building at 812 Guerrero two years ago and is evicting all its tenants to clear the building.

Activists linked Halprin’s employment at Google with his ability to buy a house and evict tenants.

“This is the smoking gun — we’ve been waiting for a direct link to Google for a long time,” said Amanda Ream, an organizer. “It’s clear that Google is more directly implicated in the housing crisis than they want to say.”

Halprin declined to give details about his plans for the building.

“I do not intend to turn this into condos,” Halprin told Mission Local earlier Friday morning as he let construction workers into the building. “You can talk to my attorney.”

Two tenants at the building, both teachers, talked to the crowd about being forced out of their home.

“He’s taking seven units out of the rental market all for himself,” said Claudia Tirado, a teacher at Fairmount Elementary in San Francisco. “Why doesn’t he just buy a house and leave us alone?”
