Although I don't agree with their way of communicating, I think the protestors' concern is valid: they will be forced to move because Google's rich employees will price them out of their living area. This is because of two reasons:

1) Renting: the protestors rent instead of own the homes they're living in, so their costs go up with the housing prices. The government could have reduced this problem by promoting home ownership in the past.

2) Income inequality: the protestors are not techies, so they won't be employed by Google, and will earn far less than Google's employees. The government can reduce this problem by increasing income leveling.
