I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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.

"bio": "Sara Hossaini came to general assignment reporting at KQED in 2013 after two winters reporting at Wyoming Public Radio. She holds a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her radio romance began after a bitter breakup with documentary film (Ok, maybe it's still complicated). Her first simultaneous jobs in San Francisco were as Associate Producer on a PBS film series through the Center for Asian American Media and as a butler. She likes to trot, plot and make things with her hands.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>For nearly 10 years, residents in a Central Valley farming community have had to drive nearly 40 miles to see the latest film, a rare trip for some in a place where a third of the population lives in poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That all changed in May when Moctesuma Esparza, a Latino movie producer, opened his latest Maya Cinemas theater in Delano in his ongoing effort to open theaters in poor, rural areas in the U.S. that lack entertainment options. The $20 million project gives Delano’s 53,000 residents access to recent movie releases in a high-end experience with luxury seating. In 1965, Delano helped spark Cesar Chavez’s farm worker union movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esparza, who produced the 1997 movie “Selena” and has opened up four identical theaters in poor areas in California, said poverty shouldn’t sentence residents to “movie deserts” where inexpensive leisure is limited. He has vowed to do his part to change the landscape in rural America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, rural communities in Appalachia, the American Southwest and the Mississippi Delta have seen small theaters close due to the high cost of technology updates and to economic downturns that discourage investors from taking over struggling movie houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data from the National Association of Theater Owners, the trade organization that represents exhibitors, also found that the overall number of U.S. cinema sites fell 25 percent from 1995 to 2018. However, the number of screens spiked 45 percent, largely as a result of an increase in megaplex movie theaters opening in urban areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group estimates about 10,000 screens could go dark soon because small independent and rural theaters can’t afford to make digital upgrades that modern movies require.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being in a rural area that may lack broadband or have spotty cell service that makes streaming services like Netflix and Hulu difficult to access, combined with the absence of a movie theater, can be isolating or just boring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have nothing out here,” said Chanika Green, 18, of Shelby, Mississippi, a town of around 3,000 residents two hours south of Memphis, Tennessee. “No movie theater, nothing. It’d be nice to have something so we could do something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of a movie theater and basic leisure like skating rinks hurts struggling regions that have seen jobs leave, said Robby Moore, mayor of Lobelville, Tennessee. Residents in rural areas often have to travel more than an hour to watch a movie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why Esparza began building theaters in underserved areas in 2000. The theaters also provide jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I saw a business opportunity. But what I soon realized was that I have to become a developer, too,” Esparza said. “Few people were investing in these communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11672271\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11672271\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/GettyImages-89996832-800x1025.jpg\" alt=\"Moctesuma Esparza, a well-known Latino movie producer, opened his latest Maya Cinemas theater in May 2018 in the Central California city of 53,000 people as part of his ongoing effort to open movie theaters in poor, U.S. rural areas that lack basic entertainment options.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1025\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Moctesuma Esparza, a well-known Latino movie producer, opened his latest Maya Cinemas theater in May 2018 in Delano, a Central California city of 53,000, as part of his ongoing effort to open movie theaters in poor, U.S. rural areas that lack basic entertainment options. \u003ccite>( Alberto E.

Besides Delano, theaters have opened in Salinas, Bakersfield, Pittsburg and Fresno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His next theater is being planned for North Las Vegas. He says a developer could do the same for rural areas in Kentucky, West Virginia and the Deep South, if they research the need and build complexes that give moviegoers a special experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some states are encouraging local communities to take active steps to bring movies to town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Mexico announced two years ago that it was joining other states in pushing an initiative to revitalize downtown districts in isolated small towns by rehabilitating aging, historic theaters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An economic development program, similar to efforts in Iowa and Illinois, seeks to save often-forgotten facilities like the Shuler Theater in Raton, New Mexico — a poor and rural area. The program helps refurbish buildings and gives grants for new digital projection and sound equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Mexico officials believe that reviving theaters in ranching towns and small cities near American Indian reservations will help create jobs in struggling downtown districts and spark excitement in entertainment deserts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Gates Family Foundation also is awarding $10,000 to $30,000 grants to rural communities to purchase new digital equipment for movie theaters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esparza says that, like food and shelter, all people need the communal experience that movies provide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone should have a right to dream,” Esparza said. “Movies allow people to dream, to think of a world outside their experiences.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The $20 million project gives Delano’s 53,000 residents access to recent movie releases in a high-end experience with luxury seating. In 1965, Delano helped spark Cesar Chavez’s farm worker union movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esparza, who produced the 1997 movie “Selena” and has opened up four identical theaters in poor areas in California, said poverty shouldn’t sentence residents to “movie deserts” where inexpensive leisure is limited. He has vowed to do his part to change the landscape in rural America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, rural communities in Appalachia, the American Southwest and the Mississippi Delta have seen small theaters close due to the high cost of technology updates and to economic downturns that discourage investors from taking over struggling movie houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data from the National Association of Theater Owners, the trade organization that represents exhibitors, also found that the overall number of U.S. cinema sites fell 25 percent from 1995 to 2018. However, the number of screens spiked 45 percent, largely as a result of an increase in megaplex movie theaters opening in urban areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She went there right when it opened. As she puts it, she “broke ground” on that prison and was there for 23 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she has this very specific and deep expertise of that place. And so part of culling all these details from her was valuing that knowledge and giving it life in the book.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On choosing a white narrator for a novel about life in a women’s prison\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I needed to construct a central character who I could understand in depth. I made her a girl from the Inner Sunset who grew up with these Irish kids in this world. These kids had no power at all, but they had this identity that’s very much a white identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I made her from that paradigm, and that gave me a range, and maneuverability and depth in terms of understanding her, that I don’t think I would have had if I tried to make a narrator who would typify who’s in the prison in Chowchilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, I do think that she is typical in a certain way. If you go to Chowchilla, it’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Reports_Research/Offender_Information_Services_Branch/Annual/Census/CENSUSd1306.pdf\">one-third white women\u003c/a>. So why would I feel I had to make the narrator a woman of color?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On ‘Orange is the New Black,’ which also features a white main character\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I haven’t seen the show. I don’t watch TV really, but also, I didn’t want to see it because I was worried I would accidentally take something from that show without realizing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I’ve read some of the description of it. Some of the pushback is not really about [Piper Chapman]’s race, but the fact that she’s upper class. My narrator doesn’t have that kind of power. Also, [in the Netflix show], it’s a minimum-security federal facility. People are there for low-level drug crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m interested in the reality and the truth. In California, 90 percent of people in state prisons are there for what the state considers serious, violent felony convictions. I’m interested in those people, and their fate, and their predicaments, and caring about them in some radical, committed way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I do want to say one thing: I have asked formerly incarcerated friends what they think about it, and they all, to a person, love [Orange is the New Black].\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On feedback she’s gotten from incarcerated women about ‘The Mars Room’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I read it at \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Facilities_Locator/CIW.html\">California Institution for Women\u003c/a> [a women’s prison in San Bernardino County] in front of 60 incarcerated people. That was the most exciting night of my entire life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was just like high school at first, in the way that people throw a ton of attitude and try to intimidate you. But I’m used to that from growing up. And I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to charm these people.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I read this part about this guy sort of giving this woman obsessive unwanted attention because I thought maybe the women would identify with that. They loved it and they were laughing hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was saying, ‘Am I going to get in trouble for this?’ because there was a guard standing in the back of the room and they were like, ‘Girl, keep on going!’\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On what she learned about prison life\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>People in prison have to spend so much time in close quarters. And they have no privacy whatsoever. And also they lose what … sociologist Erving Goffman would call your “\u003ca href=\"https://granolagradschoolandgoffman.wordpress.com/2016/05/03/goffman-e-19611995-identity-kits/\">identity kit\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they can’t throw attitude or shade by the way that they look, their makeup … because all of that is stripped away from them. Everyone’s wearing the same clothes. … Your currency is your personality and your ability to perform. And so people are a cut above in terms of their ability to have presence and charisma, and to read other people. Being in a room full of individuals like that, it was very clear to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On writing about a woman who kills an abusive stalker, in light of the #MeToo Movement\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>That movement actually got its start after I was entirely finished writing this book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think somebody could make links between the book and a shifting set of dynamics between men and women, and maybe this recalibration that’s long overdue. It wasn’t really on my mind while I was writing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of [Romy’s] crime of murdering Kurt Kennedy, I don’t necessarily think she’s innocent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wasn’t actually interested in writing about an innocent person. There’s a lot of focus on the idea of the wrongly accused, the relatively innocent, the low-level or nonviolent drug offender, etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I really wanted to write about someone who seemed like people I’ve known. Everyone I know in prison has done the thing they’re convicted of. I still really want those people to have a chance to be rehabilitated, and to make a contribution to society.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She went there right when it opened. As she puts it, she “broke ground” on that prison and was there for 23 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she has this very specific and deep expertise of that place. And so part of culling all these details from her was valuing that knowledge and giving it life in the book.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On choosing a white narrator for a novel about life in a women’s prison\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I needed to construct a central character who I could understand in depth. I made her a girl from the Inner Sunset who grew up with these Irish kids in this world. These kids had no power at all, but they had this identity that’s very much a white identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I made her from that paradigm, and that gave me a range, and maneuverability and depth in terms of understanding her, that I don’t think I would have had if I tried to make a narrator who would typify who’s in the prison in Chowchilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, I do think that she is typical in a certain way. If you go to Chowchilla, it’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Reports_Research/Offender_Information_Services_Branch/Annual/Census/CENSUSd1306.pdf\">one-third white women\u003c/a>. So why would I feel I had to make the narrator a woman of color?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On ‘Orange is the New Black,’ which also features a white main character\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I haven’t seen the show. I don’t watch TV really, but also, I didn’t want to see it because I was worried I would accidentally take something from that show without realizing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I’ve read some of the description of it. Some of the pushback is not really about [Piper Chapman]’s race, but the fact that she’s upper class. My narrator doesn’t have that kind of power. Also, [in the Netflix show], it’s a minimum-security federal facility. People are there for low-level drug crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m interested in the reality and the truth. In California, 90 percent of people in state prisons are there for what the state considers serious, violent felony convictions. I’m interested in those people, and their fate, and their predicaments, and caring about them in some radical, committed way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I do want to say one thing: I have asked formerly incarcerated friends what they think about it, and they all, to a person, love [Orange is the New Black].\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On feedback she’s gotten from incarcerated women about ‘The Mars Room’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I read it at \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Facilities_Locator/CIW.html\">California Institution for Women\u003c/a> [a women’s prison in San Bernardino County] in front of 60 incarcerated people. That was the most exciting night of my entire life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was just like high school at first, in the way that people throw a ton of attitude and try to intimidate you. But I’m used to that from growing up. And I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to charm these people.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I read this part about this guy sort of giving this woman obsessive unwanted attention because I thought maybe the women would identify with that. They loved it and they were laughing hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was saying, ‘Am I going to get in trouble for this?’ because there was a guard standing in the back of the room and they were like, ‘Girl, keep on going!’\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On what she learned about prison life\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>People in prison have to spend so much time in close quarters. And they have no privacy whatsoever. And also they lose what … sociologist Erving Goffman would call your “\u003ca href=\"https://granolagradschoolandgoffman.wordpress.com/2016/05/03/goffman-e-19611995-identity-kits/\">identity kit\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they can’t throw attitude or shade by the way that they look, their makeup … because all of that is stripped away from them. Everyone’s wearing the same clothes. … Your currency is your personality and your ability to perform. And so people are a cut above in terms of their ability to have presence and charisma, and to read other people. Being in a room full of individuals like that, it was very clear to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On writing about a woman who kills an abusive stalker, in light of the #MeToo Movement\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>That movement actually got its start after I was entirely finished writing this book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think somebody could make links between the book and a shifting set of dynamics between men and women, and maybe this recalibration that’s long overdue. It wasn’t really on my mind while I was writing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of [Romy’s] crime of murdering Kurt Kennedy, I don’t necessarily think she’s innocent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wasn’t actually interested in writing about an innocent person. There’s a lot of focus on the idea of the wrongly accused, the relatively innocent, the low-level or nonviolent drug offender, etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There’s a giant banner welcoming refugees strung across the front steps. The bathrooms inside are gender-neutral. \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/admin-account-54888311\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Recent sermon titles\u003c/a> include “Listening to the Earth” and “Empathy and Economic Equity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, the righteous judgment here is more likely to be lobbed from the political left than the right. And lobbed it was, by a 28-year-old associate pastor named Gregory Stevens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve come to find that Palo Alto is not only wealthy, but extremely wealthy, and so the arguments that happen here are between millionaires and billionaires. Then on Sunday, at First Baptist Palo Alto, we are singing and worshipping about a homeless Jew,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stevens resigned from First Baptist after a series of tweets he wrote criticizing the people of Palo Alto came to light. But he’s not really apologizing for calling the city “disgusting” or an “elitist shit den of hate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m making a moral claim against Palo Alto, and so for those people who think buying Teslas is going to save the world, [and they] want to make a moral claim to me because I used the wrong word? I mean this is exactly what I mean by elitist Palo Alto liberalism. In a liberal’s mind in Palo Alto, it’s civility that you’re supposed to have, and not a passion and a fire for equality, for equity and for justice,” he explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11670687\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11670687\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31150_Photo-May-23-2-37-18-PM-2-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Gregory Stevens says he's headed to San Francisco next, in hopes of finding more kindred spirits in a more diverse community than he's found in Palo Alto.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31150_Photo-May-23-2-37-18-PM-2-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31150_Photo-May-23-2-37-18-PM-2-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31150_Photo-May-23-2-37-18-PM-2-qut-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31150_Photo-May-23-2-37-18-PM-2-qut-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31150_Photo-May-23-2-37-18-PM-2-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31150_Photo-May-23-2-37-18-PM-2-qut-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31150_Photo-May-23-2-37-18-PM-2-qut-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31150_Photo-May-23-2-37-18-PM-2-qut-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31150_Photo-May-23-2-37-18-PM-2-qut-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31150_Photo-May-23-2-37-18-PM-2-qut-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gregory Stevens says he’s headed to San Francisco next, in hopes of finding more kindred spirits in a more diverse community than he has found in Palo Alto. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Backstory\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He says he found many locals in this \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/paloaltocitycalifornia/PST045216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gilded city of 67,000 souls\u003c/a> \u003ci>profess\u003c/i> to care about social justice, but fail to walk the walk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though, at 28, you could say he’s young enough to know he should have been using Snapchat, Stevens says he felt safe tweeting with brutal candor to what he describes as a “small group of leftist ministers and radical organizers, activists.” He adds, “Those are actually the people I’ve come to know, I’ve come to love, and those are people I’m going to miss the most.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His disdain for the progressive liberals of Palo Alto came to light during a \u003ca href=\"http://padailypost.com/2018/05/15/pastor-slams-palo-alto-in-unholy-tweets/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City Council discussion\u003c/a> on May 14 ahead of a vote on non-religious activities at First Baptist, like singing lessons and dance classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many houses of worship in Palo Alto, it’s tucked into a residential neighborhood where homes now sell for $1 million to $14 million. Not too long ago, some neighbors complained about the noise and traffic, and the city’s planning commission cracked down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That led the broader religious community to rise up in protest. Renting out church space helps shrinking, aging congregations all over the country cover their costs, but in Palo Alto, where it’s increasingly impossible for many community service providers to operate at all, many churches feel renting out space is a form of community service, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11670689\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11670689\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31151_Photo-May-23-2-38-31-PM-2-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"First Baptist Church has been in Palo Alto in some form or fashion since 1893.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31151_Photo-May-23-2-38-31-PM-2-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31151_Photo-May-23-2-38-31-PM-2-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31151_Photo-May-23-2-38-31-PM-2-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31151_Photo-May-23-2-38-31-PM-2-qut-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31151_Photo-May-23-2-38-31-PM-2-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31151_Photo-May-23-2-38-31-PM-2-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31151_Photo-May-23-2-38-31-PM-2-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31151_Photo-May-23-2-38-31-PM-2-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31151_Photo-May-23-2-38-31-PM-2-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/RS31151_Photo-May-23-2-38-31-PM-2-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">First Baptist Church has been in Palo Alto in some form or fashion since 1893. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The matter headed to the City Council.

"content": "\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]You see them everywhere in San Francisco: luxury doggy daycares and hotels, dog gyms, dog spas, even dog bakeries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s pretty clear that San Francisco loves dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, in honor of our furry companions, we’re going to be answering a few questions about dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Do San Franciscans Have More Dogs or Children?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you’ve lived in San Francisco for more than a few months, you’ve probably heard the oft-repeated line: There are more dogs than children in San Francisco. But is it true?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that there are less children in San Francisco than a typical city due to the many reasons it’s hard to raise them in the city,” says Bay Curious listener Michele Speck. “But I also think it’s hard to have a dog in this city. So that’s what makes me question if there are actually more dogs than children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Answer\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The saying is true! There are more dogs than children in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/\">the American Community Survey\u003c/a>, in 2016 there were about 115,000 children under 18 living in the city. At the same time, San Francisco Animal Care and Control estimated there were about 120,000 to 150,000 dogs in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, getting into why there are more dogs than children in San Francisco is a bit more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>There Aren’t Many Children in S.F.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Turns out that San Francisco is not barking mad for dogs. It actually just doesn’t have very many children. San Francisco has the lowest percentage of children of any major city, according to U.S. census data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 18 percent of households in San Francisco have children under 19, whereas nationwide the average is 29.4 percent. You might think it has to do with city life, but that isn’t the case. In Los Angeles, 33.4 percent of households have children, and in New York City it’s 30.5 percent. The only other city where fewer than 20 percent of households have kids is Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this could change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11669286\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11669286\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-1020x678.jpg\" alt=\"A child hugs a pug.\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-1020x678.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-960x638.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-520x346.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A child hugs a pug. \u003ccite>(Liz Randall/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since 2010 there has been a slight increase in the number of children under 5, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The question is whether or not the families of these newborns will stay in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing is one factor that might determine whether young families stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2010, 61 percent of new market rate development has been studios and one-bedroom units, predominantly in larger buildings, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://default.sfplanning.org/publications_reports/Family_Friendly_Briefing_01-17-17_FINAL.pdf\">San Francisco Planning Department\u003c/a>. So, despite the creation of new housing, the majority of it isn’t built for families. As for the family-friendly housing that already exists — which includes dwellings of all kinds, from apartments to detached single-family homes — currently only 30 percent of units with three or more bedrooms are occupied by families with children.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Has S.F. gone to the dogs?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While we have solid data on kids, the data on dogs are harder to come by. Though owners are required to register dogs, very few do. Deb Campbell, spokeswoman for Animal Care and Control, says it estimates that fewer than 30 percent of dogs in the city are registered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To calculate the number of dogs in San Francisco, Animal Care and Control relies on an estimate based on how many people live in San Francisco. The American Veterinary Medical Association puts out one such \u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/Statistics/Pages/US-pet-ownership-calculator.aspx\">tool. \u003c/a>It uses \u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/Statistics/Pages/Market-research-statistics-US-pet-ownership.aspx\">survey data\u003c/a> and census data to measure the percentage of people who are likely to own a cat, dog, horse or bird.

One, it’s the law. Both \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV§ionNum=54.2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/29/794\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal law\u003c/a> prohibit public agencies from denying service or charging a person with a disability more to use their service, which means service animals must be allowed onto public transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if all public transit agencies are covered by the same laws, why does only Muni have such a sign while BART and Caltrain don’t?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives at the SFMTA can’t remember the specific incident that led the agency to put up the signs, but spokesman Paul Rose says it was likely the result of someone being told they couldn’t bring their service dog on board because there were already other service dogs on the bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Muni likely wanted to make it clear that all service dogs were welcome by installing additional signage,” Rose says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what Kremer really wants to know is how many dogs we could fit inside a Muni train. She imagines it like a seven-layer dip of dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To figure this out, we’re going to use Bay Curious producer Suzie Racho’s yorkie terrier pup, Luna. (You can follow Luna on Instagram \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sflunapup/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@sflunapup\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg6kYn7BoAO/?taken-by=sflunapup\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two ways to do this math: by weight and by volume. A Muni train can hold up to 50,000 lbs. Luna is about 12 lbs. That gives us more than 4,160 Lunas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To do it by volume, we have to imagine the seats have been taken out of the train and that Luna is a very flexible pup. With that in mind, the volume of a standard Muni train is 7,762.5 cubic feet. Luna is just a smidge over 1 cubic foot. This means we could fit 7,350 Lunas inside one train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a solid number,” Kremer says. “I like that number.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\n",

So, despite the creation of new housing, the majority of it isn’t built for families.

Deb Campbell, spokeswoman for Animal Care and Control, says it estimates that fewer than 30 percent of dogs in the city are registered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To calculate the number of dogs in San Francisco, Animal Care and Control relies on an estimate based on how many people live in San Francisco.

One, it’s the law. Both \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV§ionNum=54.2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/29/794\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal law\u003c/a> prohibit public agencies from denying service or charging a person with a disability more to use their service, which means service animals must be allowed onto public transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if all public transit agencies are covered by the same laws, why does only Muni have such a sign while BART and Caltrain don’t?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives at the SFMTA can’t remember the specific incident that led the agency to put up the signs, but spokesman Paul Rose says it was likely the result of someone being told they couldn’t bring their service dog on board because there were already other service dogs on the bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Muni likely wanted to make it clear that all service dogs were welcome by installing additional signage,” Rose says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what Kremer really wants to know is how many dogs we could fit inside a Muni train. She imagines it like a seven-layer dip of dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To figure this out, we’re going to use Bay Curious producer Suzie Racho’s yorkie terrier pup, Luna.
