The other students’ parents were both native Mandarin speakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simultaneously, I wanted to fit in with the kids from my elementary school, whose parents were both native English speakers. They spent their weekends playing instead of memorizing characters. To me, learning Chinese was an onerous obligation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of my earliest memories is sitting on my dad’s lap in the back of a Chinese school classroom, crying over a textbook I couldn’t understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I remember feeling embarrassed, like I was already failing at something I was supposed to inherit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I got older, my dad stopped speaking Mandarin to me altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We then communicated mostly in English, talking about practical things like rides or schedules.

But the move is drawing criticism from some advocates for homelessness services in San Francisco who say the city should instead be investing in longer-term solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal comes as San Francisco is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12085729/with-layoffs-ahead-san-francisco-mayor-lurie-unveils-17-billion-city-budget\">finalizing its nearly $16 billion budget\u003c/a>, against a backdrop of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12083310/fewer-people-are-sleeping-on-san-francisco-streets-but-family-homelessness-is-up\">rising rates of homelessness among families\u003c/a> in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want them to lift the cap. We instead want them to use funds to do ongoing rental assistance, given that many of the households are on fixed incomes and won’t be able to take over the rent after a couple years,” said Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the reallocation say putting more money toward short-term subsidies will allow more people to move into housing faster. The plan would create around 800 new rental subsidies, including 350 slots for families, 250 slots for adults and 200 slots for youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The subsidies are funded by new Homelessness Gross Receipts Tax revenue, which is generated through a ballot initiative voters passed in 2018. The proposed ordinance would lift the cap on short-term subsidy spending for the second year of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12081593/homeless-funding-plan-raises-concerns-as-san-francisco-looks-to-narrow-budget-deficit\">proposed budget\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of May 2026, the city is funding 2,925 rapid rehousing rental subsidies.
