A 98-year-old San Francisco woman is being evicted from her home of 50 years, and critics says it’s because the building’s owners want to sell the place to take advantage of the city’s booming real estate market. 

“I’ve been very happy here,” Mary Phillips told KRON 4. 

Protesters gathered Wednesday at the officers of the building’s owners, Urban Green Investments, in support of Phillips. They’re calling for an end to the rising number of evictions under the Ellis Act, which allows landlords to evict tenants, temporarily shut down a rental property and then sell it at a profit, Business Insider reported.

Urban Green did not respond to a request for comments from local media either this week or last year, when the evictions also made headlines.

Phillips says she’s not leaving without a fight. 

“They’re going to have to take me out of here feet first,” she told KRON. 
“Just because of your age, don’t let people push you around. 

Activist are asking people to contact Urban Green to express support for Phillips 
and others like her. 

“Feel free to let Urban Green CEO David McCloskey, who’s evicting her, know what 
you think, ask him how he sleeps at night and if he’d put his grandmother on the streets,”a message on the Vanishingsf Facebook page reads, along with 

contact information: 
URBAN GREEN
David@urbangreeninv.com        
and the phone number (415) 651-4441

Who evicts a 98 year old woman? We heart Mary Phillips, who is facing eviction but is not succumbing (“they’ll have to take me out of here feet first”) AND the housing rights activists, who came out in support of her today.

Mary has lived in her apartment for 50 years. 

KRON anchor, Pam Moore, is very obviously angered, and you should be too. 
Watch this interview with Mary.
