Margarito Gomez and his family have lived in the same San Jose one-bedroom apartment for 17 years, struggling to afford their home amid frequent rent increases and infrequent maintenance fixes. On Friday, they joined about 50 protesters seeking attention for the conditions and costs of their low-income housing.

They carried posters saying “Housing is a human right!” and “No more rent increase!” as they marched around the Orchard Glen Apartment housing complex, focusing their attention on the low-income apartment complexes owned by real estate developer KDF Communities.
