Their parameters of compassion
Gave a kiss to Lola McKay
Another name on an eviction list
Heres a dated stamp inside your lips
No need to fight Lola McKay
At 83 they will sweep you away
Landlord needs even more than 700 K
"40 years here" farewell from her lips
The parameters of compassion
In the land of the privileged few
80 million in the black
But not one penny for you
You only rent a doorway
Home for a legal 30 days
A death kiss to Lola McKay
To make another millionaire in the Mission
— A San Francisco success story. The landlord had already converted 3 units to condos for a $700,000 profit, but had to have her room too. Lola McKay died within a month of eviction. Tens of thousands of other long term residents were evicted during the boom. The city, with a surplus, increased the budget for affordable worker housing zero. The Democrat Willie Brown heightened his attacks on the homeless in this, his second term won with $2 million in corporate dollars, with brazen police confiscation of possessions in shopping carts, constant quality of life tickets, and constant siding with filthy rich real estate groups. He continues to this day to verbally threaten grass roots tenants activist groups. In October 2001, he called for the arrest of anyone that gave a tent to a homeless worker. Lola McKay just asked to be allowed to die where she had paid rent for 40 years; her home. The parameters of the free market would not even allow that.
