those peaceful protesters are really something.

That said, if a new government is formed that is pro-personal property rights and freedom of individuals and businesses, it might be worth a look in a few years. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/06/nicaragua-ortega-protests/562094/

G&L isn't far from my office (in Alameda) and that's where the rent control protests always are.

The one OJ Simpson grew up in (SF) was on Protero hill thats now high end condos .City of Seattle has been hammered by protest and now some of the downtown apartment developers are being forced by market conditions to sell out to the City / state at huge loss's and those are going to become public housing. 

But I always advocate to my clients to protest tax valuations every year as they get reassessed annually.

So I will definitely try to protest the appraisal increase.

Of course there are going to be protesters.

Many people protesting to be real estate investors aren't and often get away with it because they assigned/wholesaled a property or two for profit so they figure they've won the title.

Then they used lowball comps, which I had to protest (you only get 1 protest), and I did not want to spend the $$$ on a formal appraisal, which is an option if you so desire.Here's the kicker, the XOME number on their site, because they are trying to be like Zillow with an estimate, was much higher than what I got from the XOME appraiser.

Shop your insurance and protest your property tax valuation.
