They was keepin us down, and the Hispanics was steady gettin’ ahead.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In South Dos Palos, as the Marshall siblings grew older and started their own families, they encouraged their children to go to school or work other jobs, anything to stay out of the fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were no jobs that the young blacks wanted to do,” Joe Marshall said. “And then I saw this town kinda dryin’ up. To where, when you come over, you could stop on any corner and holler at somebody and talk for a few minutes. I can come over here now, I might not see nobody! It’s a ghost town. The Mexicans were still working in the fields. And all of a sudden, you started lookin’ up, Mexicans bought this land, build a nice house. Better than some of the houses that’s been here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was OK with Joe, because his kids were getting out and getting ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was just an opportunity for [Latinos],” he said. “Our misfortune and their fortune, to be able to come in and buy something and build. To this day, there’s still no jobs here. So you can’t expect this town to grow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nowadays, South Dos Palos is still a gathering place for the Marshall family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They return here for small gatherings and large family reunions. Every April, hundreds of extended relatives fill the street to celebrate their mother’s birthday. She passed away several years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe looks at his Latino neighbors and can relate to what they’re going through. He knows no one would work in the fields if they didn't have to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t see any blacks out there (in the fields) now, you don’t see any whites out there now. It’s all Latinos now. And you want to cry about 'they’re doing our jobs'? No. They didn’t take a job from me. I gave it to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We paid our dues far as laborin’ hard in the fields,” Lee Marshall said. “And believe me, I don’t wanna do it. Whoever wanna do it, I just pray for 'em.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The director was very conservative and seemingly didn’t approve of Greg’s gay lifestyle. We sat on the stoop of our house in the sun chatting and waiting for the dye to dry. Eventually, I had to go to class and Greg needed to go prep for his preview performance. When we said goodbye, we kissed each other and said “I love you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He died onstage that night of an undiagnosed heart condition. He was 20 years old.

We started emailing each other and decided to meet in person after about a month. We went to a little restaurant for our first date. About three minutes into our conversation, she got right to telling me what was important: that she had two incurable diseases she caught while being a nurse 30 years ago; that she was in so much pain all the time, she couldn’t have sex; and that she was still legally married. I admired the way she didn’t play games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strangely enough, K.C. didn’t end up dying because of those diseases. She was part of a drug trial and was cured. But six months later, she was diagnosed with cancer. So I knew the last kiss was coming. One day, when I visited her, I kissed her on the couch at her home in Sonoma. That was the last time I saw her. She called me the night she passed away. K.C. went to sleep and never woke up. The world got a little darker after she left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725943\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11725943 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Keli-Dailey-2-e1550093466753-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Keli in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keli in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Keli D.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Keli, 44\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>I met this guy in a San Francisco record store and we ended up going out on a date. We went for oysters. We were having a fun, casual time. Then, at the end of the evening, he lunged at me. It felt like he was coming from every direction. It was like an “omni kiss,” where there’s tongue and hands and this and that. It was so passionate and unusual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I went out of town for a week for Thanksgiving [and came down with a cold]. By the time I got off the plane, I was in full-blown sick mode. But of course this guy still wanted to see me. It was a strange reunion because we couldn’t kiss. I was sick, so I couldn’t breathe. Also, my nose was leaking. I couldn’t wait to get my health back so I could kiss him again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was feeling well enough, we spoke on the phone.

What are you talking about?” Just when I was well enough to kiss again, no more kisses would be had. It’s taught me to be more explicit with dudes about what I’m looking for. Because one of those “good time kisses” is a waste of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725944\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11725944 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Karen-and-Loren-in-1977-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Karen and Loren in 1977\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Karen-and-Loren-in-1977-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Karen-and-Loren-in-1977-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Karen-and-Loren-in-1977-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Karen-and-Loren-in-1977-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Karen-and-Loren-in-1977-1920x1278.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Karen and Loren in 1977. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Karen Z.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Karen, 50\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWhen I said goodbye to my oldest friend, Loren, just before she died of a brain tumor at 45, she was medicated into what seemed like unconsciousness.

It was New Year’s Eve in Ipswich —the town where I grew up, in the U.K. — and I was with one of my best friends, Sarah. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were teenagers at the time. It was kind of custom that everyone on New Year’s Eve would go out, drink as much alcohol as humanly possible, and then throw empty bottles at the police. I wasn’t out to everyone, but Sarah knew I was gay. And then suddenly we were snogging and had this really passionate kiss. Eventually, we both blinked and finished. I think we probably had strong feelings for each other. Maybe it was just sort of sealing a friendship or something, in a crazy, teenage, hormonal way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Even little details stand out, like how you were dressed that day and what the weather was like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now try to remember a last kiss. That’s much harder, right? This sort of memory doesn’t come so easily. It can be painful, awkward or sad. More often than not, it’s something you’d rather forget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lately, I’ve been asking Californians to share their last kiss stories. I wanted to know what it was about these experiences that stays with people, as well as what they might all have in common.

The director was very conservative and seemingly didn’t approve of Greg’s gay lifestyle. We sat on the stoop of our house in the sun chatting and waiting for the dye to dry. Eventually, I had to go to class and Greg needed to go prep for his preview performance. When we said goodbye, we kissed each other and said “I love you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He died onstage that night of an undiagnosed heart condition. He was 20 years old. It was one of the biggest shocks I’ve ever had. Greg left a big hole in my life, but I don’t think I would trade that pain for not having lived with him, and not having gotten to know him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725942\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11725942\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Joe-and-KC.jpg\" alt=\"Joe and his girlfriend K.C. in Sonoma.\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Joe-and-KC.jpg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Joe-and-KC-160x213.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joe and his girlfriend K.C. in Sonoma. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Joe H.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joe, 63\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI met my girlfriend K.C. through a friend. We started emailing each other and decided to meet in person after about a month. We went to a little restaurant for our first date. About three minutes into our conversation, she got right to telling me what was important: that she had two incurable diseases she caught while being a nurse 30 years ago; that she was in so much pain all the time, she couldn’t have sex; and that she was still legally married. I admired the way she didn’t play games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strangely enough, K.C. didn’t end up dying because of those diseases. She was part of a drug trial and was cured. But six months later, she was diagnosed with cancer. So I knew the last kiss was coming. One day, when I visited her, I kissed her on the couch at her home in Sonoma. That was the last time I saw her. She called me the night she passed away. K.C. went to sleep and never woke up. The world got a little darker after she left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725943\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11725943 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Keli-Dailey-2-e1550093466753-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Keli in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keli in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Keli D.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Keli, 44\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>I met this guy in a San Francisco record store and we ended up going out on a date. We went for oysters. We were having a fun, casual time. Then, at the end of the evening, he lunged at me. It felt like he was coming from every direction. It was like an “omni kiss,” where there’s tongue and hands and this and that. It was so passionate and unusual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I went out of town for a week for Thanksgiving [and came down with a cold]. By the time I got off the plane, I was in full-blown sick mode. But of course this guy still wanted to see me. It was a strange reunion because we couldn’t kiss. I was sick, so I couldn’t breathe. Also, my nose was leaking. I couldn’t wait to get my health back so I could kiss him again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I pulled away. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We didn’t even talk about it. We got off the ride. We weren’t holding hands anymore. I said, “I’ll see you around.” And we went back to our families. That was the end of the day for us, and the last time I kissed Kyle. I hoped my first kiss was going to be with someone whom I was in love with, maybe on a mountain, maybe watching the sunset. That was the ideal. So having strayed from that was something I really had difficulty processing. Nothing’s going to be perfect, is what I’ve learned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725973\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1350px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11725973\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/TWH-teeth.jpg\" alt=\"Tom in San Francisco.\" width=\"1350\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/TWH-teeth.jpg 1350w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/TWH-teeth-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/TWH-teeth-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/TWH-teeth-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/TWH-teeth-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1350px) 100vw, 1350px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tom in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Tom H.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tom, 47\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>I’ve been a gay man my whole adult life.

It was kind of custom that everyone on New Year’s Eve would go out, drink as much alcohol as humanly possible, and then throw empty bottles at the police. I wasn’t out to everyone, but Sarah knew I was gay. And then suddenly we were snogging and had this really passionate kiss. Eventually, we both blinked and finished. I think we probably had strong feelings for each other. Maybe it was just sort of sealing a friendship or something, in a crazy, teenage, hormonal way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Lower East Side neighborhood around the deli had gotten fancier — and property taxes and overhead had gotten expensive. The deli was on the brink of shutting its doors, but the owner learned he was sitting \u003ci>under \u003c/i>a whole lot of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignleft\">\n\u003ch3>Podcast Trivia Answer\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In our this episode, we asked the trivia question: \u003cstrong>The song “Little Boxes” by Malvina Reynolds was written about what Bay Area city?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Answer: Daly City\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Click \u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kqeds-bay-curious-trivia-night-hosted-by-mannys-tickets-55662802942\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a> for tickets and details for Bay Curious Trivia Night on March 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In New York City, you can buy and sell the air above or around your building so that a real estate developer somewhere else can build taller. The deli was able to stay open after the windfall the owner made selling the air rights. That got Katie in Oakland wondering if air could save some of the places she cares about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chin asked Bay Curious: “As we see more and more gentrification, are there any similar mechanisms that different nonprofits or arts organizations could take advantage of, like selling the air space above where they operate?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Building Sky High\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Salesforce Tower is San Francisco’s largest skyscraper and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/06/salesforce-tower-dreamforce-tour-tallest-building-west-coast.html\">tallest office building \u003c/a>on the West Coast. But the tower would be 100 feet shorter — 51 stories instead of 61 — if it didn’t take advantage of a program called the transfer of development rights, or TDR for short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://commissions.sfplanning.org/hpcpackets/HPC_TDR_Packet_2013_07_11.pdf\">TDR program\u003c/a> is San Francisco’s version of New York City’s air market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, how high you can build is limited by two things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first is the location of your building.

Larger lots usually mean taller buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if you use TDR, you can go beyond those two limiting factors and build higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11721245\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11721245\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/Salesforce-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A view of the Salesforce Tower from below.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of Salesforce Tower from below. \u003ccite>(Sarah Craig/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To understand how it works, picture an imaginary cube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On paper, for every property, we have this theoretical cube where development can occur,” says Corey Teague, zoning administrator of San Francisco’s Planning Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the theoretical cube of space that the developer of the Salesforce Tower, Boston Properties, had to build on wasn’t as big as they wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through the TDR program, they found a building by the waterfront — \u003ca href=\"http://sfplanninggis.org/docs/landmarks_and_districts/LM107.pdf\">the Rincon Annex Post Office\u003c/a> — that had a cube of air for sale exactly the size they were looking for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11721243\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11721243\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/Salesforce-2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salesforce Tower is the largest office building on the West Coast. \u003ccite>(Sarah Craig/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“And so in the easiest sense,” says Teague, “it’s literally transferring that cube of space and adding it on top of their cube, to give them an even bigger cube to build within.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although lots of cities have air markets, San Francisco’s is fairly unusual. The city designed the program with an important limitation for an important purpose: You can buy extra cube space only from \u003cem>historical\u003c/em> buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(The cities of San Jose and Oakland don’t have their own version of an air market, but in Oakland, many in the historic preservation community are calling for the city to create one similar to San Francisco’s as part of the Downtown Oakland Specific Plan.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s program provides an incentive to preserve historical buildings because many \u003ca href=\"https://sf-planning.org/historic-preservation-faqs#raise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">can’t actually use\u003c/a> their cube space because, well, they are historical, and there are limits to the renovations they can make.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, the TDR program makes their unused air rights valuable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the air rights are sold, the owner of that building is required to use some of those funds to maintain the actual structure — such as making it earthquake-proof or repairing the facade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s TDR program was created in 1985, just after the city saw a huge development boom where a lot of high-rise office buildings were built. People worried that historical buildings would be demolished and lost forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a term that was thrown around by some folks called Manhattanization,” says Teague.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To date, the program has saved \u003ca href=\"http://commissions.sfplanning.org/hpcpackets/HPC_TDR_Packet_2013_07_11.pdf\"> over 100\u003c/a> historical buildings downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The development rights that were there aren’t just going unused.

The Lower East Side neighborhood around the deli had gotten fancier — and property taxes and overhead had gotten expensive. The deli was on the brink of shutting its doors, but the owner learned he was sitting \u003ci>under \u003c/i>a whole lot of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignleft\">\n\u003ch3>Podcast Trivia Answer\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In our this episode, we asked the trivia question: \u003cstrong>The song “Little Boxes” by Malvina Reynolds was written about what Bay Area city?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Answer: Daly City\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Click \u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kqeds-bay-curious-trivia-night-hosted-by-mannys-tickets-55662802942\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a> for tickets and details for Bay Curious Trivia Night on March 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In New York City, you can buy and sell the air above or around your building so that a real estate developer somewhere else can build taller. The deli was able to stay open after the windfall the owner made selling the air rights. That got Katie in Oakland wondering if air could save some of the places she cares about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chin asked Bay Curious: “As we see more and more gentrification, are there any similar mechanisms that different nonprofits or arts organizations could take advantage of, like selling the air space above where they operate?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Building Sky High\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Salesforce Tower is San Francisco’s largest skyscraper and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/06/salesforce-tower-dreamforce-tour-tallest-building-west-coast.html\">tallest office building \u003c/a>on the West Coast. But the tower would be 100 feet shorter — 51 stories instead of 61 — if it didn’t take advantage of a program called the transfer of development rights, or TDR for short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://commissions.sfplanning.org/hpcpackets/HPC_TDR_Packet_2013_07_11.pdf\">TDR program\u003c/a> is San Francisco’s version of New York City’s air market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In some neighborhoods, like the Sunset, buildings can be only about \u003ca href=\"http://library.amlegal.com/nxt/gateway.dll/California/zoningmaps/zoningmaps?f=templates%24fn=default.htm%243.0%24vid=amlegal:sanfrancisco_ca%24anc=JD_ZoningMaps\">40 feet high\u003c/a> — about four stories.

Larger lots usually mean taller buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if you use TDR, you can go beyond those two limiting factors and build higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11721245\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11721245\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/Salesforce-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A view of the Salesforce Tower from below.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of Salesforce Tower from below. \u003ccite>(Sarah Craig/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To understand how it works, picture an imaginary cube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On paper, for every property, we have this theoretical cube where development can occur,” says Corey Teague, zoning administrator of San Francisco’s Planning Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the theoretical cube of space that the developer of the Salesforce Tower, Boston Properties, had to build on wasn’t as big as they wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through the TDR program, they found a building by the waterfront — \u003ca href=\"http://sfplanninggis.org/docs/landmarks_and_districts/LM107.pdf\">the Rincon Annex Post Office\u003c/a> — that had a cube of air for sale exactly the size they were looking for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11721243\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11721243\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/Salesforce-2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salesforce Tower is the largest office building on the West Coast. \u003ccite>(Sarah Craig/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“And so in the easiest sense,” says Teague, “it’s literally transferring that cube of space and adding it on top of their cube, to give them an even bigger cube to build within.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although lots of cities have air markets, San Francisco’s is fairly unusual. The city designed the program with an important limitation for an important purpose: You can buy extra cube space only from \u003cem>historical\u003c/em> buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(The cities of San Jose and Oakland don’t have their own version of an air market, but in Oakland, many in the historic preservation community are calling for the city to create one similar to San Francisco’s as part of the Downtown Oakland Specific Plan.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s program provides an incentive to preserve historical buildings because many \u003ca href=\"https://sf-planning.org/historic-preservation-faqs#raise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">can’t actually use\u003c/a> their cube space because, well, they are historical, and there are limits to the renovations they can make.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, the TDR program makes their unused air rights valuable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the air rights are sold, the owner of that building is required to use some of those funds to maintain the actual structure — such as making it earthquake-proof or repairing the facade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s TDR program was created in 1985, just after the city saw a huge development boom where a lot of high-rise office buildings were built. People worried that historical buildings would be demolished and lost forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a term that was thrown around by some folks called Manhattanization,” says Teague.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To date, the program has saved \u003ca href=\"http://commissions.sfplanning.org/hpcpackets/HPC_TDR_Packet_2013_07_11.pdf\"> over 100\u003c/a> historical buildings downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The development rights that were there aren’t just going unused.

They want a 12 percent pay raise over three years and reduced class sizes. The Oakland Unified School District, which faces a projected $30 million budget deficit this year, is offering a much smaller raise – 5 percent over three years. Meanwhile, Gov.

Weeks later, a group of African-American soldiers refused to load munitions at another nearby naval station, fearing for their safety. The 50 sailors were tried for mutiny and found guilty.

The exchange came just days after the State of the Union address where Trump warned Congress against “ridiculous partisan investigations.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We hear from U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) about the new investigations and other developments from Capitol Hill, including the “Green New Deal” legislation unveiled this week to tackle climate change. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Oakland Teachers\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, Oakland teachers voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike that could take place later this month. They want a 12 percent pay raise over three years and reduced class sizes. The Oakland Unified School District, which faces a projected $30 million budget deficit this year, is offering a much smaller raise – 5 percent over three years. Meanwhile, Gov. Gavin Newsom has directed the state’s superintendent of education to look into how charter schools affect finances of school districts. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Janelle Scott, associate professor, UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vanessa\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Rancaño,\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> education reporter, KQED News\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Remembering Port Chicago\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>In 1944, a huge explosion ripped through the pier at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine in Concord, killing 202 African-American soldiers who had been ordered to load live munitions onto a cargo ship. Weeks later, a group of African-American soldiers refused to load munitions at another nearby naval station, fearing for their safety. The 50 sailors were tried for mutiny and found guilty.
