She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

Haphazard wiring snaked through walls, and an outdoor staircase capped by a bamboo canopy was flagged as a fire threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unlicensed club was shut down, and operator Donald Cassel, who also lives there, was ordered to clear out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The closing of the space dubbed Purple 33 highlights growing friction between underground music venues that can be the only option for experimental or emerging performers and their fans, and authorities who see disasters-in-waiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finding them is another matter, when clandestine events can be announced with a fleeting Facebook post or text message and, in many cases, vanish after the music stops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a situation where folks are coming together and they are not applying for special permits. They’re just posting fliers 24 hours in advance, and they’re bringing hundreds of people in for different functions,” Oakland Fire Chief Teresa Deloach Reed said at a news conference days after the Dec. 2 fire during an electronic music party at an illegally converted warehouse nicknamed “Ghost Ship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not have the resources to track those types of functions,” she conceded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the blaze, officials in LA, Baltimore and other cities announced plans to aggressively pursue illegally converted warehouses and other jerry-rigged living spaces. The threat of a crackdown is unnerving musicians and artists who live in them, and routinely accept risks that can come with performing on unlicensed stages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles case has similarities to Oakland, where a leased warehouse was converted into living space and an entertainment stage without proper permits or inspections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lesser-known artists are happy to play nearly anywhere that will host them, because there are very few options,” said Amanda Brown, co-owner of the Los Angeles record label 100% Silk, which lost two of its artists in the Oakland fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These events are way more about community and shared experience than they are making money,” she said in an email. “Most artists are very flexible and willing to deal with strange venues as long as there is a sound system and some enthusiasm for the music.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s difficult to generalize about underground music and the places it’s played, which sometimes hide in plain sight. Purple 33 has a web page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s like a jukebox, encompassing everything from punk to metal to electronic, a branch that itself is divided into dozens of splinters. Similarly, the events can range widely: a couple of dozen people in a garment factory, an after-hours gathering in a coffee shop, 150 electronic music fans in a clearing in a forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scene is alternately inclusive, welcoming artists and fans of all demographics, and exclusive, since by definition it’s hard to find if you don’t know where to look. The list of Oakland victims speaks to the diversity it attracts: a teacher, a computer engineer, a filmmaker, musicians and artists, a lawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regulations vary, but generally a gathering of 100 people with live music on a stage would require one or more permits. Depending on its size, a fire marshal could make a spot check to ensure fire extinguishers are available and lighting is adequate, or officials might oversee the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, building inspectors in Los Angeles would reject applications for musical events in warehouses, since they are designed to hold goods, not parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A gritty location can be part of the allure, and Cassel and others see it as an escape from mainstream clubs that they see as unwelcoming, even hostile, to free spirits and nonconformists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a big part of it is economics. A maze of rules and the high costs that come with meeting them leave few alternatives for running events on a skimpy budget, they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you are charging five, six bucks and 50 people show up, it doesn’t work to have a permit,” said George Chen, who organized underground shows in the San Francisco Bay Area for over a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cassel acknowledges he ran Purple 33 without proper authorization, but says it’s not because he didn’t try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The businessman-contractor-inventor who once sold skateboard parts claims he spent $70,000 on licensing and other fees to try to get the city to green-light his club, whose patrons he calls “a family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But neighbors who feared wild parties blocked the project. He went underground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to do everything legal. It takes a lot of money,” Cassel, 56, said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the greatest issue isn’t the money. They don’t seem to want to guide you along. At the end of the day, they say no.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Fire Department concerns, Cassel says the site was safe, with multiple exits, fire extinguishers and an emergency plan that could get everyone out in two minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans note that legal venues have risks, too, pointing to a Rhode Island nightclub fire in 2003 that killed 100.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the numerous underground shows around LA, there appear to be relatively few reported problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles Fire Department dispatched 102 inspectors to check reports of overcrowding or illegal gatherings in 2016, but they do not document how many were in unpermitted locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The LAFD said it had no records of injury or damage at underground events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cassel hopes to reclaim his warehouse space one day, and he’s partnering with underground organizers to change laws to make cities friendlier to what they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A crackdown will backfire, he predicted, and dangers could get worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just going to go deeper underground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Associated Press writer Paul Elias in San Francisco contributed to this report.\u003c/p>\n\n",

They’re just posting fliers 24 hours in advance, and they’re bringing hundreds of people in for different functions,” Oakland Fire Chief Teresa Deloach Reed said at a news conference days after the Dec. 2 fire during an electronic music party at an illegally converted warehouse nicknamed “Ghost Ship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not have the resources to track those types of functions,” she conceded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the blaze, officials in LA, Baltimore and other cities announced plans to aggressively pursue illegally converted warehouses and other jerry-rigged living spaces. The threat of a crackdown is unnerving musicians and artists who live in them, and routinely accept risks that can come with performing on unlicensed stages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles case has similarities to Oakland, where a leased warehouse was converted into living space and an entertainment stage without proper permits or inspections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lesser-known artists are happy to play nearly anywhere that will host them, because there are very few options,” said Amanda Brown, co-owner of the Los Angeles record label 100% Silk, which lost two of its artists in the Oakland fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These events are way more about community and shared experience than they are making money,” she said in an email. “Most artists are very flexible and willing to deal with strange venues as long as there is a sound system and some enthusiasm for the music.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s difficult to generalize about underground music and the places it’s played, which sometimes hide in plain sight. Purple 33 has a web page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s like a jukebox, encompassing everything from punk to metal to electronic, a branch that itself is divided into dozens of splinters. Similarly, the events can range widely: a couple of dozen people in a garment factory, an after-hours gathering in a coffee shop, 150 electronic music fans in a clearing in a forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scene is alternately inclusive, welcoming artists and fans of all demographics, and exclusive, since by definition it’s hard to find if you don’t know where to look. The list of Oakland victims speaks to the diversity it attracts: a teacher, a computer engineer, a filmmaker, musicians and artists, a lawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regulations vary, but generally a gathering of 100 people with live music on a stage would require one or more permits. Depending on its size, a fire marshal could make a spot check to ensure fire extinguishers are available and lighting is adequate, or officials might oversee the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, building inspectors in Los Angeles would reject applications for musical events in warehouses, since they are designed to hold goods, not parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A gritty location can be part of the allure, and Cassel and others see it as an escape from mainstream clubs that they see as unwelcoming, even hostile, to free spirits and nonconformists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a big part of it is economics. A maze of rules and the high costs that come with meeting them leave few alternatives for running events on a skimpy budget, they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you are charging five, six bucks and 50 people show up, it doesn’t work to have a permit,” said George Chen, who organized underground shows in the San Francisco Bay Area for over a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cassel acknowledges he ran Purple 33 without proper authorization, but says it’s not because he didn’t try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The businessman-contractor-inventor who once sold skateboard parts claims he spent $70,000 on licensing and other fees to try to get the city to green-light his club, whose patrons he calls “a family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But neighbors who feared wild parties blocked the project. He went underground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to do everything legal. It takes a lot of money,” Cassel, 56, said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the greatest issue isn’t the money. They don’t seem to want to guide you along. At the end of the day, they say no.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Fire Department concerns, Cassel says the site was safe, with multiple exits, fire extinguishers and an emergency plan that could get everyone out in two minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans note that legal venues have risks, too, pointing to a Rhode Island nightclub fire in 2003 that killed 100.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the numerous underground shows around LA, there appear to be relatively few reported problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles Fire Department dispatched 102 inspectors to check reports of overcrowding or illegal gatherings in 2016, but they do not document how many were in unpermitted locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The LAFD said it had no records of injury or damage at underground events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cassel hopes to reclaim his warehouse space one day, and he’s partnering with underground organizers to change laws to make cities friendlier to what they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A crackdown will backfire, he predicted, and dangers could get worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just going to go deeper underground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Associated Press writer Paul Elias in San Francisco contributed to this report.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

HBO will show highlights later, with SiriusXM doing a radio broadcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shakur was shot and killed after attending a boxing match in Las Vegas in 1996, a murder that has spawned conspiracy theories but remains unsolved. “Changes,” ”Keep Ya Head Up,” ”Ambitionz Az a Ridah” and “Life Goes On” are among his best-known songs. Only 25 when he died, Shakur left behind a trove of music that was released posthumously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pearl Jam exploded in popularity from the start in the early 1990s behind songs like “Alive,” “Jeremy” and “Even Flow.” After Nirvana, it is the second band with roots in Seattle’s grunge rock scene to make the hall. Behind singer Eddie Vedder and other original members Mike McCready, Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament, Pearl Jam remains active and is a popular live act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vedder is no newcomer to rock hall ceremonies, having given induction speeches for Neil Young and the Ramones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baez was a political activist and mainstay of the folk movement, performing at the first Newport Folk Festival at age 19 in 1959. She was known primarily as an interpreter of others’ songs, introducing Dylan to a wider audience at the beginning of his career. Their affair ended badly in 1965, for which Dylan later apologized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baez’s own “Diamonds and Rust” in 1975 was one of her biggest hits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Journey’s 1981 song “Don’t Stop Believin'” was given new life by being featured in the closing scene of HBO’s \u003cem>The Sopranos\u003c/em> and became a favorite of a new generation. Its 6.8 million iTunes sales makes it the most-bought song on that platform from the pre-digital era, according to Nielsen SoundScan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former singer Steve Perry, estranged from the band for many years, offers some potential rock hall drama: will he show up for his induction? Founding member Neal Schon was quoted in Billboard recently saying that there are so many non-rock artists in the hall that “I don’t really care about being there.” He did allow that it would be nice for fans of the band, never a critical favorite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Britain’s Yes, known for its complex compositions, was a leader of the 1970s progressive rock movement. Yes’ hits include “I’ve Seen All Good People,” “Roundabout” and “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” and its fans have waged a vociferous campaign to see them honored. Founding bass player Chris Squire, the one constant in many years of personnel changes, died in June 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Electric Light Orchestra got its start melding classical influences to Beatles-influenced pop, and charted with “Evil Woman,” “Mr. Blue Sky” and “Don’t Bring Me Down.” The band essentially exists now in leader Jeff Lynne’s imagination and home studio and had a mildly successful comeback a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chic, led by Rodgers and the late Bernard Edwards, has become the rock hall’s version of Susan Lucci and her long quest to win a Daytime Emmy. While Shakur, Baez, Pearl Jam and ELO were elected this year in their first time on the ballot, Chic has endured years of disappointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hall’s award for musical excellence to songwriter and guitarist Rodgers is no consolation prize. When disco cooled, Rodgers became one of the hottest producers in the business, behind the boards for some of the ’80s most indelible albums: David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance,” Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” and the B-52’s “Cosmic Thing.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Behind singer Eddie Vedder and other original members Mike McCready, Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament, Pearl Jam remains active and is a popular live act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vedder is no newcomer to rock hall ceremonies, having given induction speeches for Neil Young and the Ramones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baez was a political activist and mainstay of the folk movement, performing at the first Newport Folk Festival at age 19 in 1959. She was known primarily as an interpreter of others’ songs, introducing Dylan to a wider audience at the beginning of his career. Their affair ended badly in 1965, for which Dylan later apologized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baez’s own “Diamonds and Rust” in 1975 was one of her biggest hits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Journey’s 1981 song “Don’t Stop Believin'” was given new life by being featured in the closing scene of HBO’s \u003cem>The Sopranos\u003c/em> and became a favorite of a new generation. Its 6.8 million iTunes sales makes it the most-bought song on that platform from the pre-digital era, according to Nielsen SoundScan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former singer Steve Perry, estranged from the band for many years, offers some potential rock hall drama: will he show up for his induction? Founding member Neal Schon was quoted in Billboard recently saying that there are so many non-rock artists in the hall that “I don’t really care about being there.” He did allow that it would be nice for fans of the band, never a critical favorite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Britain’s Yes, known for its complex compositions, was a leader of the 1970s progressive rock movement. Yes’ hits include “I’ve Seen All Good People,” “Roundabout” and “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” and its fans have waged a vociferous campaign to see them honored. Founding bass player Chris Squire, the one constant in many years of personnel changes, died in June 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Electric Light Orchestra got its start melding classical influences to Beatles-influenced pop, and charted with “Evil Woman,” “Mr. Blue Sky” and “Don’t Bring Me Down.” The band essentially exists now in leader Jeff Lynne’s imagination and home studio and had a mildly successful comeback a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chic, led by Rodgers and the late Bernard Edwards, has become the rock hall’s version of Susan Lucci and her long quest to win a Daytime Emmy. While Shakur, Baez, Pearl Jam and ELO were elected this year in their first time on the ballot, Chic has endured years of disappointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hall’s award for musical excellence to songwriter and guitarist Rodgers is no consolation prize. When disco cooled, Rodgers became one of the hottest producers in the business, behind the boards for some of the ’80s most indelible albums: David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance,” Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” and the B-52’s “Cosmic Thing.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your creeping existential dread, especially in tandem with the knowledge that the Gregorian calendar is an arbitrary, meaningless way to mark the passage of time, and there’s zero logic in thinking the year we call 2017 will be less traumatizing for any of us in any way than the year we called 2016?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, this is how I get into the holiday spirit: Lots of ranting, with brief intermissions for eating baked goods and wishing I had some of whatever Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan is on in the “Must Be Santa” video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8qE6WQmNus\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I digress. The fact is, many things happened in 2016 that simply cry out for a good rant. Several of these fall under the category of “proof that sexism and misogyny are alive and well in America.” Some of the events in \u003cem>that \u003c/em>category are both vast and well-trodden territory, and touch on issues that will, over the next four years, affect half of Americans’ access to health care, right to equal pay, right to not have their body parts grabbed by an elected official, etc. Sigh. I got tired just writing that sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s this: \u003ca href=\"http://www.magazine-agent.com/Rolling-Stone/Covers\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Rolling Stone\u003c/em> didn’t put a single solitary woman on its cover for the entirety of 2016\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12512006\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 738px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/covers.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-12512006\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/covers.jpg\" alt=\"The year in dudes -- aka 'Rolling Stone' covers.\" width=\"738\" height=\"608\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The year in dudes -- aka 'Rolling Stone' covers.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I know, I know. \u003cem>Rolling Stone\u003c/em> hasn't been relevant for (depending on whom you ask) five to 30 years.

The one \u003cem>almost\u003c/em>-exception to this glaring offense is the March 24, 2016 cover, which Hillary Clinton shared with Bernie Sanders for a cover story with the headline \"Hillary vs. Bernie: American Politics at Its Best.\" (Also: really?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Setting aside for now the implications of an entire editorial staff at a major national entertainment outlet wherein not a single person thought to check if maybe they'd bothered putting a female entertainer on the cover in the past year, I have some suggestions for how things might have gone in a better world.

Kesha. \u003c/strong>One of the most compelling pop music stories of the year is also the saddest: Since 2014, the pop star has been entrenched in a highly public battle to get out of her contract with producer Dr. Luke, whom she alleges in a lawsuit \"sexually, physically, verbally, and emotionally abused [her] to the point where [she] nearly lost her life.\" \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/02/22/taylor-swift-donates-250k-to-kesha-amid-fight-with-dr-luke/\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and other celebrities have all donated money to \u003c/a>help with her legal fees.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your creeping existential dread, especially in tandem with the knowledge that the Gregorian calendar is an arbitrary, meaningless way to mark the passage of time, and there’s zero logic in thinking the year we call 2017 will be less traumatizing for any of us in any way than the year we called 2016?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, this is how I get into the holiday spirit: Lots of ranting, with brief intermissions for eating baked goods and wishing I had some of whatever Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan is on in the “Must Be Santa” video.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/a8qE6WQmNus'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/a8qE6WQmNus'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>But I digress.

The one \u003cem>almost\u003c/em>-exception to this glaring offense is the March 24, 2016 cover, which Hillary Clinton shared with Bernie Sanders for a cover story with the headline \"Hillary vs. Bernie: American Politics at Its Best.\" (Also: really?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Setting aside for now the implications of an entire editorial staff at a major national entertainment outlet wherein not a single person thought to check if maybe they'd bothered putting a female entertainer on the cover in the past year, I have some suggestions for how things might have gone in a better world.

The settlement, announced Monday, addresses more than a decade’s worth of zoning disputes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfcityattorney.org/2016/12/19/herrera-secures-landmark-settlement-valued-60-million-academy-art-university/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">settlement\u003c/a> resolves around a lawsuit filed by the San Francisco City Attorney’s office in May. The suit claimed that the college had repeatedly “thumbed its nose,” in city attorney Dennis Herrera’s words, at complaints from the city about its conversion of tourist hotels and residential buildings into dorms and classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school is owned by president Elisa Stephens and her family, who are worth hundreds of millions of dollars and control swathes of real estate in downtown San Francisco. “No matter how wealthy or politically connected you may be, the same rules apply to everyone,” Herrera said at a press conference announcing the settlement of the suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school will pay San Francisco $20 million in fines and fees, and spend an estimated $40 million converting two buildings into 160 units of affordable housing, mostly for seniors. The settlement specifies that the academy will lease the buildings to a non-profit developer for 66 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12507322\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12507322 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/FullSizeRender-1-e1482192459395-800x492.jpg\" alt=\"Zane Gresham and James Brosnahan (l-r) senior counsels at Morrison Foerster\" width=\"800\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/FullSizeRender-1-e1482192459395-800x492.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/FullSizeRender-1-e1482192459395-160x98.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/FullSizeRender-1-e1482192459395-768x472.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/FullSizeRender-1-e1482192459395-1020x627.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/FullSizeRender-1-e1482192459395-1180x725.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/FullSizeRender-1-e1482192459395-960x590.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/FullSizeRender-1-e1482192459395-240x148.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/FullSizeRender-1-e1482192459395-375x230.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/FullSizeRender-1-e1482192459395-520x320.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/FullSizeRender-1-e1482192459395.jpg 1832w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zane Gresham and James Brosnahan (l-r) senior counsels at Morrison Foerster. \u003ccite>(Photo: Cy Musiker/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Herrera said he was pleased that $7 million would go to San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"http://medasf.org/programs/community-real-estate/small-sites-program/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Small Sites Program\u003c/a>.
