francisco is the highest it's been since 2008. the "ellis act" allows left- hand side to evict their tenants to go out of the business of renting apartments. reportedly, landlords are increasingly using the "ellis act" to evict people so they can switch from renting units to selling them because the real estate market in san francisco is so lucrative right now. local leaders including mayor lee are promising to try and stop the evictions. the thing is, local politicians can't really do anything. the "ellis act" is a state law so any changes need to happen on the state level. and that's where the problem is. folks in other parts of the state don't see an immediate need to limit the rights of property owners. getting them to vote for the "ellis act" will be a challenge and will take time. so while you will hear about this from the mayor and local candidates for office in the coming months, don't expect immediate change. for kpix 5, i'm melissa griffin- caen. >> find more of melissa's segments on kpix.com/mornings. lawrence you were batting
