San Francisco protestors toss electric scooters in front of tech company commuter buses
by Mark Frauenfelder from on (#3RCF1)
Protestors in San Franciscos Mission District don't like instant-rent electric scooters, and they also don't like tech workers who have moved into the neighborhood. So they decided to toss the scooters in front of the buses used to transport tech workers to their offices in Silicon Valley this morning. SF Gate has a photo gallery.
The activists, blocking buses at the intersection of 24th and Valencia streets, set off smoke bombs and carried signs that read "Techsploitation Is Toxic," and "Sweep Tech Not Tents," in reference to the city's recent efforts to clear homeless encampments.
