The People Under the Stairs - Justice for the Unjustly Evicted
Ruby Williams:
My name is Ruby Williams and I represent the association of people who have been unjustly evicted, exploited and generally fucked over.
Woman:
What?
Ruby Williams:
You and your brother are landlords of over 50 buildings in this city, ALL of which you've allowed to deteriorate into rat infested hellholes while you guys get rich charging ridiculous rents. THEN, you evict anyone the minute they can't pay rent so you can tear down their homes and build some more office buildings, isn't that about right?
