From The Wall Street Journal Online

SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- KB Home promotes itself as a company that builds inexpensive tract homes for people such as Elena C. Rocha. The 68-year-old restaurant worker spent her life's savings of $123,000 on a new KB home here last year.

Frustrated, Mrs. Rocha and her older daughter, Grace, joined about 15 protesters, including other disgruntled KB customers and homeowner activists, on a road leading to a nearby company sales center.
