All that is, is the developers building is about to be finished and he's trying to kick out r2d2 before it goes on the market so he can double the price. All you will do is have even more homeless out on the trails/esplanade.
I hope this development bubble bursts in the next year or two cause I'm tired of every place I go too getting evicted so the landlord can sell off to some SF douche to make some upscale gastropub.
