But \"once a few familiar faces are present, more people are willing to make the move. Word travels that an attractive neighborhood has been 'discovered' and the pace of change accelerates rapidly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there's no technical definition of gentrification, Grant notes, the process is generally characterized by specific changes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Demographics: An increase in median income, a decline in the proportion of racial minorities, and a reduction in household size, as low-income families are replaced by young singles and couples.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Real Estate Markets: Large increases in rents and home prices, increases in the number of evictions, conversion of rental units to ownership (condos) and new development of luxury housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Land Use: A decline in industrial uses, an increase in office or multimedia uses, the development of live-work “lofts” and high-end housing, retail, and restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Culture and Character: New ideas about what is desirable and attractive, including standards (either informal or legal) for architecture, landscaping, public behavior, noise, and nuisance.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Grant goes on to note that a gentrified neighborhood often becomes a “victim of its own success.\" The rapid increase in desirability that spurs a spike in rents and property values can erode the qualities that attracted newcomers in the first place. As affordability decreases and lower-income residents are displaced -- often people of color and artists -- the neighborhood becomes noticeably less racially and culturally diverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/sep/19/city-resist-gentrification-displacement\" target=\"_blank\">Some cities\u003c/a> have made strides than others to slow the pace of gentrification, namely by safeguarding the supply of affordable housing and enforcing rent control laws. But it's proven a tricky balance to maintain, and anti-gentrification activists commonly accuse city governments of falling short in these efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It should come as little surprise then, that the San Francisco Bay Area -- one of the most expensive regions in the country with a rapidly growing population and a major dearth of affordable housing -- has long been a gentrification hotbed. Particularly during economic booms, like the current tech boom, the cost of living skyrockets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As once lower-income neighborhoods in San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and other major Bay Area cities become increasingly desirable and expensive, populations have shifted, in some cases dramatically. The resulting exodus of long-established, low-income communities of color to the region's cheaper peripheries has literally changed the face of many communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An oft-cited example is San Francisco's Mission District. Long known as an artistic enclave and hub of Latino culture and community, the neighborhood has undergone an accelerated level of gentrification during this latest economic boom. Rents and home prices have skyrocketed. New condominium developments dot the landscape. And scores of older businesses and galleries have been replaced by high-end restaurants and shops. Without an adequate affordable housing supply, low-income residents, many of them Latino, have been increasingly pushed out of a neighborhood they've lived in for generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area's African-American population has been more impacted by gentrification than perhaps any other group. Consider these figures:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1970, African-Americans made up 13.4 percent of San Francisco's population, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.bayareacensus.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">census data\u003c/a>. By 2010, that population had shrunk to just 6.1 percent. Meanwhile, African-Americans in 1970 made up just .1 percent of the total population in the small city of Antioch, on the far northeastern edge of the Bay Area. By 2010, Antioch was 17.3 percent African-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>See the map below, which shows changes in the region's black population, by census tract, since 1970.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new KQED podcast \u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1197721799\" target=\"_blank\">American Suburb\u003c/a> explores this outward migration.

Word travels that an attractive neighborhood has been 'discovered' and the pace of change accelerates rapidly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there's no technical definition of gentrification, Grant notes, the process is generally characterized by specific changes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Demographics: An increase in median income, a decline in the proportion of racial minorities, and a reduction in household size, as low-income families are replaced by young singles and couples.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Real Estate Markets: Large increases in rents and home prices, increases in the number of evictions, conversion of rental units to ownership (condos) and new development of luxury housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Land Use: A decline in industrial uses, an increase in office or multimedia uses, the development of live-work “lofts” and high-end housing, retail, and restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Culture and Character: New ideas about what is desirable and attractive, including standards (either informal or legal) for architecture, landscaping, public behavior, noise, and nuisance.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Grant goes on to note that a gentrified neighborhood often becomes a “victim of its own success.\" The rapid increase in desirability that spurs a spike in rents and property values can erode the qualities that attracted newcomers in the first place. As affordability decreases and lower-income residents are displaced -- often people of color and artists -- the neighborhood becomes noticeably less racially and culturally diverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/sep/19/city-resist-gentrification-displacement\" target=\"_blank\">Some cities\u003c/a> have made strides than others to slow the pace of gentrification, namely by safeguarding the supply of affordable housing and enforcing rent control laws. But it's proven a tricky balance to maintain, and anti-gentrification activists commonly accuse city governments of falling short in these efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It should come as little surprise then, that the San Francisco Bay Area -- one of the most expensive regions in the country with a rapidly growing population and a major dearth of affordable housing -- has long been a gentrification hotbed. Particularly during economic booms, like the current tech boom, the cost of living skyrockets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As once lower-income neighborhoods in San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and other major Bay Area cities become increasingly desirable and expensive, populations have shifted, in some cases dramatically. The resulting exodus of long-established, low-income communities of color to the region's cheaper peripheries has literally changed the face of many communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An oft-cited example is San Francisco's Mission District. Long known as an artistic enclave and hub of Latino culture and community, the neighborhood has undergone an accelerated level of gentrification during this latest economic boom. Rents and home prices have skyrocketed. New condominium developments dot the landscape. And scores of older businesses and galleries have been replaced by high-end restaurants and shops. Without an adequate affordable housing supply, low-income residents, many of them Latino, have been increasingly pushed out of a neighborhood they've lived in for generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area's African-American population has been more impacted by gentrification than perhaps any other group. Consider these figures:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1970, African-Americans made up 13.4 percent of San Francisco's population, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.bayareacensus.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">census data\u003c/a>. By 2010, that population had shrunk to just 6.1 percent. Meanwhile, African-Americans in 1970 made up just .1 percent of the total population in the small city of Antioch, on the far northeastern edge of the Bay Area. By 2010, Antioch was 17.3 percent African-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>See the map below, which shows changes in the region's black population, by census tract, since 1970.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new KQED podcast \u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1197721799\" target=\"_blank\">American Suburb\u003c/a> explores this outward migration.

More likely, the law will be picked apart piece by piece. Certain portions, such as allowing children to stay on their parents' policies until the age of 26 and requiring insurance companies to offer plans to those with existing conditions, have broad public support and are less likely to be slashed from the ACA. However, the Republican-controlled Congress will most likely reduce federal funding for state exchanges (such as Covered California) and Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California), a program for the poor and elderly, which provides health insurance for nearly one in three statewide, including undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What California can do\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most Californians are covered under their employer-sponsored health care programs. However, nearly 5 million are newly covered under the ACA. Since the law went into effect in 2014, California has signed up more people for the program than any other state in the nation. At stake is $20.5 billion in federal funding -- $15.5 billion for Medi-Cal and $5 billion in Covered California subsidies.

The impact of these increases on enrollment numbers is still unclear.

However, policies that increase taxes on goods made abroad -- particularly those in China and Mexico -- could potentially hurt many California businesses involved in logistics and trade. Trump has threatened a 35 percent tax on cars and parts from Mexico and a 45 percent tariff on Chinese products. (His spokesperson also recently suggested a 20 percent tax on Mexican imports in order to fund the border wall).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president's tough immigration policies may also have unintended consequences for the agriculture industry, according to a recent \u003ca href=\"http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/ucla-anderson-forecast-new-economy-under-new-administration-trumponomics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> UCLA report\u003c/a>.

However, state leaders maintain they are committed to providing living wages to all Californians.

More likely, the law will be picked apart piece by piece. Certain portions, such as allowing children to stay on their parents' policies until the age of 26 and requiring insurance companies to offer plans to those with existing conditions, have broad public support and are less likely to be slashed from the ACA. However, the Republican-controlled Congress will most likely reduce federal funding for state exchanges (such as Covered California) and Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California), a program for the poor and elderly, which provides health insurance for nearly one in three statewide, including undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What California can do\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most Californians are covered under their employer-sponsored health care programs.

At stake is $20.5 billion in federal funding -- $15.5 billion for Medi-Cal and $5 billion in Covered California subsidies.

This means that even many students with generous aid packages are still incurring large amounts of debt to pay food and housing costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://mgreen.carto.com/viz/6fb35648-3608-11e5-9f22-0e0c41326911/embed_map\" width=\"100%\" height=\"800\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">\u003c/iframe>\n\n\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/lowdown/23920/interactive-the-rising-cost-of-californias-public-universities","authors":["1263"],"categories":["lowdown_256","lowdown_2363","lowdown_2375","lowdown_242"],"tags":["lowdown_158","lowdown_2559","lowdown_2337","lowdown_2561","lowdown_2532","lowdown_2560"],"featImg":"lowdown_3072","label":"lowdown"},"lowdown_24303":{"type":"posts","id":"lowdown_24303","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"lowdown","id":"24303","score":null,"sort":[1477631452000]},"parent":0,"labelTerm":{"site":"lowdown"},"blocks":[],"publishDate":1477631452,"format":"standard","disqusTitle":"Just In Case You Forgot: How Ranked-Choice Voting Works","title":"Just In Case You Forgot: How Ranked-Choice Voting Works","headTitle":"The Lowdown | KQED News","content":"\u003cp>On Election Day, Maine voters will decide whether to adopt ranked-choice voting (RCV) for future statewide races, including U.S. Senate, Congress and governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the measure passes, Maine would become the first state to adopt a statewide RCV system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eleven cities nationwide now use RCV, or instant-runoff voting for citywide elections, four of which are in the Bay Area: Oakland, San Leandro, Berkeley (all since 2010) and San Francisco (citywide since 2011).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How does RCV work?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>RCV ballots vary somewhat by city, but generally follow a similar format.
