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.",

Hence the term “tampon tax.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Weiss-Wolf, the tampon tax was a natural starting place for her advocacy. She began working on the issue of period equity at the beginning of 2015, and the following year she teamed up with Laura Strausfeld, a lawyer looking to combat the tampon tax. Together they formed the aptly named Period Equity, an organization that works on legal cases and legislation across the country meant to combat the tampon tax. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Period Equity’s most recent undertaking was a public service ad starring celebrity Amber Rose, which was \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLJ5LzYFKNY\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">released on YouTube\u003c/a>. Rose, clad in a provocative black dress, carefully strokes a diamond pendent and opens the charm to reveal a single tampon. “Where else would you keep something 36 states tax as a luxury?” the voice-over asks in an unabashed tone. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLJ5LzYFKNY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minnesota, Illinois, Pennsylvania, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/05/16/477937470/new-york-aims-to-become-the-next-state-to-toss-the-tampon-tax\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New York\u003c/a>, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida have all outlawed the tampon tax. Four of the states — New York, Illinois, Connecticut and Florida — have made this change just in the last two years. They are the early adopters of a policy change that seems to get more popular each day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one company has taken on this issue head on. Boxed, an online bulk shopping company, introduced its \u003ca href=\"https://www.boxed.com/rethinkpink/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#RethinkPink\u003c/a> initiative, offering a discount on menstrual products to offset states sales taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, the company stands to gain customers from this initiative. If more women choose to shop with Boxed because of the discounts, they end up buying other goods on its website, making up for the initial loss in revenue. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11657898\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Tampon-Tax-Map.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Tampon-Tax-Map-800x559.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"559\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11657898\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Tampon-Tax-Map-800x559.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Tampon-Tax-Map-160x112.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Tampon-Tax-Map-240x168.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Tampon-Tax-Map-375x262.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Tampon-Tax-Map-520x364.png 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Tampon-Tax-Map.png 858w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/tampon-taxes-sales-tax\">Tax Foundation\u003c/a>, NPR research \u003ccite>(Credit: Brittany Mayes and Ema Sagner/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nitasha Mehta is the head of vendor marketing for the company and lobbies around the country, including Nevada and Ohio, where she testified in support of anti-tampon-tax bills. “There is a trend starting to occur,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Ohio, state Rep. Brigid Kelly, a Democrat, recently earned a major win for the legislation in a Republican-dominated statehouse. Her bill, which would exempt feminine hygiene products from the state sales tax, was introduced in February 2017 and given a second hearing last fall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were so happy,” she says. “This is a very simple practical thing that we can do in order to make necessary medical products more accessible to women in our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly says she received help from lawmakers in other states, including New York and California, that dealt with similar legislation. One main talking point among many of these fights across the country is how much of an impact this change could make for low-income women. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sales tax on these items does not amount to much,” Kelly says. “But when you’re trying to figure out if you can give your kid milk money or if you have enough to get your own lunch then it is impactful in a very significant way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She acknowledges it’s not a comfortable topic for discussion with her male colleagues. Kelly says they’ve been professional, but “it’s definitely not something they are eager to discuss over the lunch table.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some states the bill was circulated but not passed or signed. California Gov. Jerry Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11086948/gov-brown-vetoes-attempt-to-waive-tampon-tax\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">refused to sign\u003c/a> the measure on the grounds that the state couldn’t afford to lose revenue. In her new book about period equity, Weiss-Wolf estimates the revenue from menstrual products can range from “$1 million in Utah to $20 million in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of times they don’t want to pass it because it’s a budget issue … they’re in debt,” Boxed’s Mehta says. But, she says, “ultimately by saving women money on these items hopefully they will spend it on other items and have more disposable income.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Nevada, \u003ca href=\"https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/79th2017/Bill/5489/Overview#\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a version passed\u003c/a> last year is awaiting approval by the state’s voters in a referendum scheduled for this November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar legislation was introduced last year in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/03/06/467377295/citing-gender-bias-state-lawmakers-move-to-eliminate-tampon-tax\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wisconsin\u003c/a>, where it is \u003ca href=\"https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2017/related/proposals/ab683\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">awaiting a hearing.\u003c/a> And so far in 2018, three more states have introduced anti-tampon tax legislation: \u003ca href=\"http://journalstar.com/legislature/nebraska-bill-would-exempt-feminine-hygiene-products-from-tax/article_cbd64a43-c1ac-5820-a210-a94d29f07d10.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nebraska\u003c/a>,\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/virginia-lawmakers-push-to-make-menstrual-products-more-affordable-available/2018/01/22/b60346ee-f7b7-11e7-a9e3-ab18ce41436a_story.html?utm_term=.58d7817946e2\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Virginia\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.12news.com/article/news/local/arizona/tampon-tax-cut-arizona-house-panel-oks-sales-tax-cut-for-diapers-tampons/75-511302086\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arizona\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tampon tax is an obvious example of unfair gender discrimination,” says Virginia Delegate Kaye Kory, a Democrat. “It doesn’t make sense.” Kory’s bill to end the tampon tax did not get a hearing in the legislative session that ended this month, but she plans to reintroduce it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The pink tax\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is another seemingly unfair “tax” targeted at women: the pink tax. It’s actually not a tax at all, but a charge tacked onto many women’s products. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2015 study by the New York Department of Consumer Affairs compared \u003ca href=\"https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dca/downloads/pdf/partners/Study-of-Gender-Pricing-in-NYC.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">nearly 800 retail items\u003c/a> from more than 90 brands ranging from children’s toys to deodorant, specifically in search of potential gendered pricing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For any given product, the “women’s” version costs an average of 7 percent more than similar products for men, the study found. Of the 35 product categories tested, only five did not price higher for the women’s version. Personal care products topped the list at an average of 13 percent more for women. Even something as universal as a bike helmet at Target cost $14.99 with sharks on it and $27.99 with unicorns on it, according to the 2015 study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some industry officials push back against these claims. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Retailers see women as their biggest target,” Ted Potrikus, CEO of the Retail Council of New York State, told \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2017/03/27/pink-tax-forces-women-pay-more-than-men/99462846/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">USA Today\u003c/a>. “Research and development, following trends, meeting trends, advertising products on television and in magazines are not cheap.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But other advocates say this is a misguided approach to advertising women’s products and may be due to women’s underrepresentation in the advertising field. Although women have been a part of advertising since its conception, The New York Times reported that \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/02/business/media/for-women-in-advertising-its-still-a-mad-men-world.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">only 11 percent\u003c/a> of creative directors are women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example of this would be the old advertising strategy “shrink it and pink it.” This phrase refers to the popular marketing strategy of taking a men’s or gender-neutral product, reducing the size of the packaging, and turning the bottle pink to target women, and then charging the same price or more than the comparable product. Although this idea may seem arcane, there is evidence to suggest some manufactures \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/the-end-of-shrink-it-or-pink-it-a-history-of-advertisers-missing-the-mark-with-women/2016/06/08/3bcb1832-28e9-11e6-ae4a-3cdd5fe74204_story.html?utm_term=.0bb409780cb7\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">are still doing it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this discriminatory pricing also applies to services, advocates say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I find it offensive,” says Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., who has a long history of standing up for women’s economic rights. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1995, Speier, a state representative in California at the time, led the historic successful push in the state to outlaw \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1995-10-14/news/mn-56735_1_gender-based-pricing\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">discriminatory pricing\u003c/a> for haircuts, dry cleaning, car repairs and other services based on gender. Now she aims to do the same at the federal level, with a bill tentatively titled the Pink Tax Repeal Act. This bill, which she plans to introduce in the U.S. House later this year, will aim to restrict discriminatory pricing of services as well as goods. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says many of her colleagues in the House didn’t know such a disparity exists. “People are just astonished,” she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Passing the legislation in the current political climate will be difficult, she concedes. But if it passes, she says, the bill would provide wide-reaching authority to combat the pink tax. “It allows the state attorneys general to bring civil actions on behalf of the residents of the state to compel compliance,” in addition to the standard enforcement abilities of the Federal Trade Commission, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a big lift to get it to move in this Congress,” she says. “But I think it’s important to roll it out, and it’s important to have a discussion about it.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

Rose, clad in a provocative black dress, carefully strokes a diamond pendent and opens the charm to reveal a single tampon. “Where else would you keep something 36 states tax as a luxury?” the voice-over asks in an unabashed tone. \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/VLJ5LzYFKNY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/VLJ5LzYFKNY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Minnesota, Illinois, Pennsylvania, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/05/16/477937470/new-york-aims-to-become-the-next-state-to-toss-the-tampon-tax\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New York\u003c/a>, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida have all outlawed the tampon tax.

Brigid Kelly, a Democrat, recently earned a major win for the legislation in a Republican-dominated statehouse. Her bill, which would exempt feminine hygiene products from the state sales tax, was introduced in February 2017 and given a second hearing last fall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were so happy,” she says. “This is a very simple practical thing that we can do in order to make necessary medical products more accessible to women in our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly says she received help from lawmakers in other states, including New York and California, that dealt with similar legislation. One main talking point among many of these fights across the country is how much of an impact this change could make for low-income women. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sales tax on these items does not amount to much,” Kelly says. “But when you’re trying to figure out if you can give your kid milk money or if you have enough to get your own lunch then it is impactful in a very significant way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She acknowledges it’s not a comfortable topic for discussion with her male colleagues. Kelly says they’ve been professional, but “it’s definitely not something they are eager to discuss over the lunch table.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some states the bill was circulated but not passed or signed. California Gov. Jerry Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11086948/gov-brown-vetoes-attempt-to-waive-tampon-tax\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">refused to sign\u003c/a> the measure on the grounds that the state couldn’t afford to lose revenue. In her new book about period equity, Weiss-Wolf estimates the revenue from menstrual products can range from “$1 million in Utah to $20 million in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of times they don’t want to pass it because it’s a budget issue … they’re in debt,” Boxed’s Mehta says. But, she says, “ultimately by saving women money on these items hopefully they will spend it on other items and have more disposable income.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Nevada, \u003ca href=\"https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/79th2017/Bill/5489/Overview#\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a version passed\u003c/a> last year is awaiting approval by the state’s voters in a referendum scheduled for this November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar legislation was introduced last year in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/03/06/467377295/citing-gender-bias-state-lawmakers-move-to-eliminate-tampon-tax\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wisconsin\u003c/a>, where it is \u003ca href=\"https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2017/related/proposals/ab683\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">awaiting a hearing.\u003c/a> And so far in 2018, three more states have introduced anti-tampon tax legislation: \u003ca href=\"http://journalstar.com/legislature/nebraska-bill-would-exempt-feminine-hygiene-products-from-tax/article_cbd64a43-c1ac-5820-a210-a94d29f07d10.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nebraska\u003c/a>,\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/virginia-lawmakers-push-to-make-menstrual-products-more-affordable-available/2018/01/22/b60346ee-f7b7-11e7-a9e3-ab18ce41436a_story.html?utm_term=.58d7817946e2\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Virginia\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.12news.com/article/news/local/arizona/tampon-tax-cut-arizona-house-panel-oks-sales-tax-cut-for-diapers-tampons/75-511302086\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arizona\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tampon tax is an obvious example of unfair gender discrimination,” says Virginia Delegate Kaye Kory, a Democrat. “It doesn’t make sense.” Kory’s bill to end the tampon tax did not get a hearing in the legislative session that ended this month, but she plans to reintroduce it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The pink tax\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is another seemingly unfair “tax” targeted at women: the pink tax. It’s actually not a tax at all, but a charge tacked onto many women’s products. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2015 study by the New York Department of Consumer Affairs compared \u003ca href=\"https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dca/downloads/pdf/partners/Study-of-Gender-Pricing-in-NYC.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">nearly 800 retail items\u003c/a> from more than 90 brands ranging from children’s toys to deodorant, specifically in search of potential gendered pricing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For any given product, the “women’s” version costs an average of 7 percent more than similar products for men, the study found. Of the 35 product categories tested, only five did not price higher for the women’s version. Personal care products topped the list at an average of 13 percent more for women. Even something as universal as a bike helmet at Target cost $14.99 with sharks on it and $27.99 with unicorns on it, according to the 2015 study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some industry officials push back against these claims. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Retailers see women as their biggest target,” Ted Potrikus, CEO of the Retail Council of New York State, told \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2017/03/27/pink-tax-forces-women-pay-more-than-men/99462846/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">USA Today\u003c/a>. “Research and development, following trends, meeting trends, advertising products on television and in magazines are not cheap.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But other advocates say this is a misguided approach to advertising women’s products and may be due to women’s underrepresentation in the advertising field. Although women have been a part of advertising since its conception, The New York Times reported that \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/02/business/media/for-women-in-advertising-its-still-a-mad-men-world.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">only 11 percent\u003c/a> of creative directors are women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example of this would be the old advertising strategy “shrink it and pink it.” This phrase refers to the popular marketing strategy of taking a men’s or gender-neutral product, reducing the size of the packaging, and turning the bottle pink to target women, and then charging the same price or more than the comparable product. Although this idea may seem arcane, there is evidence to suggest some manufactures \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/the-end-of-shrink-it-or-pink-it-a-history-of-advertisers-missing-the-mark-with-women/2016/06/08/3bcb1832-28e9-11e6-ae4a-3cdd5fe74204_story.html?utm_term=.0bb409780cb7\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">are still doing it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this discriminatory pricing also applies to services, advocates say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I find it offensive,” says Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., who has a long history of standing up for women’s economic rights. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1995, Speier, a state representative in California at the time, led the historic successful push in the state to outlaw \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1995-10-14/news/mn-56735_1_gender-based-pricing\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">discriminatory pricing\u003c/a> for haircuts, dry cleaning, car repairs and other services based on gender. Now she aims to do the same at the federal level, with a bill tentatively titled the Pink Tax Repeal Act. This bill, which she plans to introduce in the U.S. House later this year, will aim to restrict discriminatory pricing of services as well as goods. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says many of her colleagues in the House didn’t know such a disparity exists. “People are just astonished,” she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Passing the legislation in the current political climate will be difficult, she concedes. But if it passes, she says, the bill would provide wide-reaching authority to combat the pink tax. “It allows the state attorneys general to bring civil actions on behalf of the residents of the state to compel compliance,” in addition to the standard enforcement abilities of the Federal Trade Commission, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a big lift to get it to move in this Congress,” she says. “But I think it’s important to roll it out, and it’s important to have a discussion about it.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In 2017, UC turned more than 10,000 eligible applicants away from their schools of choice, instead referring them to the only campus that has room to grow: UC Merced. And 124 of those students say they plan to enroll there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As California’s population grows, and increasing numbers of high school grads meet college eligibility requirements, ever more qualified CSU and UC applicants have to compete for limited space, according to experts at the Public Policy Institute of California, who say the problem is compounded by a long-term trend toward declining state investment. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/higher-education-funding-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPIC data\u003c/a> shows in 1976–77, higher education spending made up 18 percent of the state budget, but by 2016–17 it had fallen to 12 percent of the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While California’s demographics have changed, its propensity for growth hasn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the main themes in California history is constant population growth,” said John Douglass, a research fellow at UC Berkeley’s Center for Studies in Higher Education and author of “The California Idea and American Higher Education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference now, he argues, is a lack of vision. The feat of California’s famed \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/acadinit/mastplan/mpsummary.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1960 Master Plan for Higher Education\u003c/a> was not that it established an accessible high-quality college system -- that already existed -- but that it secured that promise for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The great legacy of the Master Plan was an agreement about how the system should grow, what campuses should be developed, and what kind of money would be involved,” Douglass said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was supposed to be a plan through 1975, but the state hasn’t come up with an alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're living off of infrastructure and an investment by the state that's 50 years old,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11657228\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11657228\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danny Holton says he was a good student in high school.

Here he is as homecoming royalty his senior year. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Danny Holton)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So what students like Holton are experiencing is in part the result of a failure to adequately plan for the boom in college-eligible high school grads, according to Douglass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't have anybody doing any long-term enrollment studies as of now, so we need a lot of homework to be done,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Holton’s rejection letters piled up, he was grateful he had a backup plan. His college counselor had urged him to apply to a few out-of-state schools, and the news from outside California was better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I got my acceptance from ASU (Arizona State University), that was awesome,” Holton said. He even got a certificate with his name on it, signed by the dean welcoming him to the undergraduate business school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only did ASU welcome Holton, they offered him $54,000, or about half his tuition for four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holton was placed on the waitlist at UC Santa Cruz and eventually admitted. But that was not until the summer, long after he had accepted admission to ASU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision to leave the state for college is one a growing number of California families are making. Since 2002, Arizona State University has seen an increase of more than 200 percent in California student enrollment. At Oregon State University, California freshmen made up 3 percent of the incoming class in 2002. By 2017, California freshmen made up nearly 14 percent of Oregon State’s new students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last available \u003ca href=\"https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d16/tables/dt16_309.20.asp?current=yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Department of Education data\u003c/a>, from 2014, shows more than 36,000 California freshman enrolled at out-of-state schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those statistics trouble Lande Ajose, executive director of California Competes, an organization that advocates for higher education policies that increase access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are bright and talented students,” she said. “Those are students whose families are here in the state. Those are students who then may or may not return home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11625622/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma\">California's Higher Education: From American Dream to Dilemma\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11625622/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SatherGate-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Holton is glad he went to ASU. He likes his classes. He got a good internship. He has another two years of college to decide what he’ll do next, but the longer he stays in Arizona, the harder it gets to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just have the connections here,” he said. “This is where I am now. I'd call it my home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Californians like Holton don’t come back, analysts warn the state is headed for trouble. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/will-california-run-out-of-college-graduates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPIC estimates\u003c/a> by 2030 nearly 40 percent of the jobs here will require at least a bachelor’s degree, and state universities just aren’t turning out nearly enough of them. The institute projects the state will be over 1 million workers with bachelor’s degrees short of economic demand by then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a focus on how we're going to move kids through,” Ajose said, “We're leaving industries at risk of not being able to find the talent that they need to have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she pointed out it’s not just about the economy. Studies have shown college graduates are more likely to be engaged in civic activities like voting and volunteering. “It also matters for the kinds of communities we want to live in,” Ajose said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is work being done on campuses and at the state Legislature to address the bleak forecast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers mandated UC increase enrollment by 10,000 in-state students over three years, a target the system has already surpassed. \u003ca href=\"https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/why-the-csu-matters/graduation-initiative-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSU’s Graduation Initiative 2025\u003c/a> aims to help students graduate on time, freeing up more space for new students, and there are signs it’s working: for 2016-17, 99,000 CSU undergrads earned degrees — almost 7,000 more than the year before, and a record high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts warn more will need to be done if California is going to live up to the promise of access that created one of the greatest higher education systems in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a significant increase in the enrollment and academic program capacity,” Douglass said, “Californians can’t expect to continue to have the access rates they have today, let alone yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The California Dream series\u003c/a> is a statewide media collaboration of CALmatters, KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the James Irvine Foundation and the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11660142\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-800x219.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-800x219.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-160x44.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-1020x280.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-1180x324.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-960x263.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-240x66.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-375x103.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-520x143.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner.jpg 1867w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\n",

And 124 of those students say they plan to enroll there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As California’s population grows, and increasing numbers of high school grads meet college eligibility requirements, ever more qualified CSU and UC applicants have to compete for limited space, according to experts at the Public Policy Institute of California, who say the problem is compounded by a long-term trend toward declining state investment. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/higher-education-funding-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPIC data\u003c/a> shows in 1976–77, higher education spending made up 18 percent of the state budget, but by 2016–17 it had fallen to 12 percent of the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While California’s demographics have changed, its propensity for growth hasn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the main themes in California history is constant population growth,” said John Douglass, a research fellow at UC Berkeley’s Center for Studies in Higher Education and author of “The California Idea and American Higher Education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference now, he argues, is a lack of vision. The feat of California’s famed \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/acadinit/mastplan/mpsummary.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1960 Master Plan for Higher Education\u003c/a> was not that it established an accessible high-quality college system -- that already existed -- but that it secured that promise for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The great legacy of the Master Plan was an agreement about how the system should grow, what campuses should be developed, and what kind of money would be involved,” Douglass said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was supposed to be a plan through 1975, but the state hasn’t come up with an alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're living off of infrastructure and an investment by the state that's 50 years old,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11657228\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11657228\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danny Holton says he was a good student in high school.

Here he is as homecoming royalty his senior year. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Danny Holton)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So what students like Holton are experiencing is in part the result of a failure to adequately plan for the boom in college-eligible high school grads, according to Douglass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't have anybody doing any long-term enrollment studies as of now, so we need a lot of homework to be done,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Holton’s rejection letters piled up, he was grateful he had a backup plan. His college counselor had urged him to apply to a few out-of-state schools, and the news from outside California was better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I got my acceptance from ASU (Arizona State University), that was awesome,” Holton said. He even got a certificate with his name on it, signed by the dean welcoming him to the undergraduate business school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only did ASU welcome Holton, they offered him $54,000, or about half his tuition for four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holton was placed on the waitlist at UC Santa Cruz and eventually admitted. But that was not until the summer, long after he had accepted admission to ASU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision to leave the state for college is one a growing number of California families are making. Since 2002, Arizona State University has seen an increase of more than 200 percent in California student enrollment. At Oregon State University, California freshmen made up 3 percent of the incoming class in 2002. By 2017, California freshmen made up nearly 14 percent of Oregon State’s new students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last available \u003ca href=\"https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d16/tables/dt16_309.20.asp?current=yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Department of Education data\u003c/a>, from 2014, shows more than 36,000 California freshman enrolled at out-of-state schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those statistics trouble Lande Ajose, executive director of California Competes, an organization that advocates for higher education policies that increase access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are bright and talented students,” she said. “Those are students whose families are here in the state. Those are students who then may or may not return home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11625622/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma\">California's Higher Education: From American Dream to Dilemma\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11625622/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SatherGate-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Holton is glad he went to ASU.

I'd call it my home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Californians like Holton don’t come back, analysts warn the state is headed for trouble. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/will-california-run-out-of-college-graduates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPIC estimates\u003c/a> by 2030 nearly 40 percent of the jobs here will require at least a bachelor’s degree, and state universities just aren’t turning out nearly enough of them. The institute projects the state will be over 1 million workers with bachelor’s degrees short of economic demand by then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a focus on how we're going to move kids through,” Ajose said, “We're leaving industries at risk of not being able to find the talent that they need to have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she pointed out it’s not just about the economy. Studies have shown college graduates are more likely to be engaged in civic activities like voting and volunteering. “It also matters for the kinds of communities we want to live in,” Ajose said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is work being done on campuses and at the state Legislature to address the bleak forecast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers mandated UC increase enrollment by 10,000 in-state students over three years, a target the system has already surpassed. \u003ca href=\"https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/why-the-csu-matters/graduation-initiative-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSU’s Graduation Initiative 2025\u003c/a> aims to help students graduate on time, freeing up more space for new students, and there are signs it’s working: for 2016-17, 99,000 CSU undergrads earned degrees — almost 7,000 more than the year before, and a record high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts warn more will need to be done if California is going to live up to the promise of access that created one of the greatest higher education systems in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a significant increase in the enrollment and academic program capacity,” Douglass said, “Californians can’t expect to continue to have the access rates they have today, let alone yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The California Dream series\u003c/a> is a statewide media collaboration of CALmatters, KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the James Irvine Foundation and the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He also called for scrapping the requirement of 60 votes to pass a bill in the Senate — a threshold that demands bipartisan compromise. Neither of those moves appears likely. The Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/supcourt/stories/wp062698.htm\" target=\"_blank\">ruled the line-item veto unconstitutional\u003c/a> 20 years ago.

No. Were we ever going to get that? No. That's not how the process works.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mulvaney acknowledged the bill does not go as far as Trump wanted on immigration. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let's make it clear,\" Mulvaney said. \"The president wanted a DACA fix as part of this deal. He had offered a large package with a complete DACA fix in exchange for the entire wall. \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is more to the story, though: In exchange for a DACA fix — to protect young immigrants brought to the country as children from deportation — Trump demanded not only funding for the border wall but also big changes in the nation's legal immigration system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/02/15/585794696/immigration-push-hits-a-wall-as-senate-deadline-nears\" target=\"_blank\">rejected proposed bipartisan DACA fixes\u003c/a> that would swap a permanent fix for money to build a border wall. The White House demanded broader changes to legal immigration that Democrats wouldn't support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservatives in Congress opposed the spending bill because it would add to the deficit. Many, like House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RepMarkMeadows/status/977177118881837056\">say they were dismayed\u003c/a> that the legislation includes spending increases sought by Democrats and fails to fulfill Republican campaign promises to cut the overall size of government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepMarkMeadows/status/977177118881837056\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican leaders could have crafted a spending bill that met conservative demands, but it would fail in the Senate, where Democrats have enough votes to block legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The omnibus spending package has been in the works for several months and was crafted with input from both the White House and Congress. It was written to fill out a budget outline that Congress passed, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/02/09/584431561/government-funding-lapses-while-congress-looks-to-vote-on-budget-deal\" target=\"_blank\">and Trump signed\u003c/a>, in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday that the spending legislation was a true compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Months of in-depth, bicameral, bipartisan negotiations and committee work have led up to this point,\" McConnell said. \"The result is legislation that neither side sees as perfect — but which contains a host of significant victories and important achievements on behalf of the American people.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>Google will ban advertisements for certain financial products, including cryptocurrencies, the Internet giant announced Wednesday. The move comes amid increased scrutiny of the fast-growing market for digital currencies like bitcoin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.blog.google/topics/ads/advertising-ecosystem-works-everyone/\">blog post\u003c/a> on the company’s website, Google’s Director of Sustainable Ads Scott Spencer cited the “unregulated” and “speculative” nature of many of the financial products being advertised. Spencer mentioned cryptocurrency advertisements as an example of “new threats” to the Google user experience, along with ads for addiction treatment centers and online gambling services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google’s \u003ca href=\"https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/7648803?hl=en&ref_topic=29265\">new policy\u003c/a> will take effect in June. It mirrors a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/business/news/new-ads-policy-improving-integrity-and-security-of-financial-product-and-services-ads\">similar announcement \u003c/a>from Facebook and reflects a broader push by the advertising giants to rebuild user trust in their platforms. Last year, Google struggled to address advertisers’ concerns that ads were being run alongside objectionable content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Google’s decision to ban cryptocurrency ads is an implicit acknowledgement that they cannot identify legitimate projects in this space at scale,” says Paul Makowski, chief technology officer of malware-detection startup PolySwarm.

"content": "\u003cp>In late January, Mike Poindexter, a third-generation walnut grower in the Central Valley town of Selma, received some bad news. It came in the form of a letter from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It said federal agents would be auditing his business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon after receiving the letter, Poindexter hung \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSE/LC_90.2_EE_Notice.pdf\">a notice to workers\u003c/a> about the I-9 audit above the time clock where staff punch in before their shifts. Within two days, 18 people had quit, likely out of fear authorities would discover they lacked permission to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You get attached to people,\" said Poindexter, the CEO of Poindexter Nut Company. \"I understand there are a lot of people who say, 'Hey, these people are illegal, they have to go.' I understand what they're saying. But they're saying that about people they don't know. They're saying that about some nameless, faceless thing out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the spring of 2008, Poindexter was audited by ICE for the first time. So he turned in a stack of paperwork and waited for months. He didn’t hear back from officers until August. When the agents got back to him, they said 70 percent of his staff would have to go that same day. He says the turnover cost his company $2 million and it took three years to bounce back from the losses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He now uses \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/e-verify\">E-Verify\u003c/a>, the federal website used to verify work authorization, and he thought that would ensure he was hiring a legal workforce. But Poindexter still compares the most recent audit to a sword hanging over his head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ 'Cause you've been hurt, bad. And you don't want it to happen again,” he said. “You've done everything right you can. And you think, I'll be OK this time. I probably will, but you don't know.

It’s just one of the rules recently put in place to protect immigrant workers in the state, regardless of their immigration status.

The news came just days after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11652479/advocates-confirm-23-immigrants-arrested-in-northern-california-operation\">232 people were arrested\u003c/a> in an ICE operation throughout Northern and Central California. The Bakersfield Californian reported at least 24 farmworkers were detained on their way to the fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/232-illegal-aliens-arrested-during-ice-operation-northern-california\">a statement\u003c/a>, ICE pointed to new legal barriers to working with local jails and police departments in the state, and said that situation had “forced” the agency to conduct raids in neighborhoods and at workplaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of workers keeping agricultural businesses running in California are unauthorized immigrants, according to Philip Martin, a professor of agricultural economics at UC Davis. California growers, through their business associations, have long supported a path to citizenship for undocumented farmworkers who agree to keep working in agriculture for several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Poindexter is not alone in his frustration with state lawmakers, according to Manuel Cunha, president of the Nisei Farmers League -- a nonprofit that represents the interests of Central Valley growers. Many agricultural businesses are concerned that the standoff over sanctuary policies between California and the federal government is triggering retaliation in the form of more audits.

It said federal agents would be auditing his business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon after receiving the letter, Poindexter hung \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSE/LC_90.2_EE_Notice.pdf\">a notice to workers\u003c/a> about the I-9 audit above the time clock where staff punch in before their shifts. Within two days, 18 people had quit, likely out of fear authorities would discover they lacked permission to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You get attached to people,\" said Poindexter, the CEO of Poindexter Nut Company. \"I understand there are a lot of people who say, 'Hey, these people are illegal, they have to go.' I understand what they're saying. But they're saying that about people they don't know. They're saying that about some nameless, faceless thing out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the spring of 2008, Poindexter was audited by ICE for the first time. So he turned in a stack of paperwork and waited for months. He didn’t hear back from officers until August. When the agents got back to him, they said 70 percent of his staff would have to go that same day. He says the turnover cost his company $2 million and it took three years to bounce back from the losses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He now uses \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/e-verify\">E-Verify\u003c/a>, the federal website used to verify work authorization, and he thought that would ensure he was hiring a legal workforce. But Poindexter still compares the most recent audit to a sword hanging over his head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The news came just days after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11652479/advocates-confirm-23-immigrants-arrested-in-northern-california-operation\">232 people were arrested\u003c/a> in an ICE operation throughout Northern and Central California. The Bakersfield Californian reported at least 24 farmworkers were detained on their way to the fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/232-illegal-aliens-arrested-during-ice-operation-northern-california\">a statement\u003c/a>, ICE pointed to new legal barriers to working with local jails and police departments in the state, and said that situation had “forced” the agency to conduct raids in neighborhoods and at workplaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of workers keeping agricultural businesses running in California are unauthorized immigrants, according to Philip Martin, a professor of agricultural economics at UC Davis. California growers, through their business associations, have long supported a path to citizenship for undocumented farmworkers who agree to keep working in agriculture for several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Poindexter is not alone in his frustration with state lawmakers, according to Manuel Cunha, president of the Nisei Farmers League -- a nonprofit that represents the interests of Central Valley growers.

Their agent warned they’d be bidding against not only a glut of young Sacramento-area families vying for a starter home, but also wealthier Bay Area residents fleeing astronomical prices. Even wealthy foreign investors from China, sensing an opportunity to park their cash and make steady returns, were getting in on the action. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ In Elk Grove?,’” said Scott. “It’s really hard to deal with because it’s like, how do I compete with this? How do I compete with all this money? It really kind of blew me away.” \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Rothenbergs offered $10,000 above asking price, in the low $300,000s, and wrote the owners to explain who they were and how they loved the house. Days went by. Then their agent broke the news. The bid wasn’t too low—it was actually the highest offer the seller received, the realtor told them. But another buyer offered cash—meaning a cleaner, quicker sale.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“We were pretty upset, we figured it was just some investor who was going to rent it out,” said Scott. “If we would have lost out to a person who was going to occupy, we wouldn’t have been as upset.” \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Their hunch was right. The property ended up being rented out, to another California family hoping to own a house someday, maybe when the market cools a little. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Which made Scott wonder: How much are foreign buyers and investment firms—two of the most common sources of all-cash transactions—impacting the average California family’s ability to buy a home? He \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/housing-costs-high-california/#You-asked-Were-answering\">\u003cem>reached out\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> to CALmatters to help answer that question. So we tried—starting with foreign buyers. Here’s what we learned. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How many all-cash home sales happened in your neighborhood?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>With the help of real estate data firm ATTOM Data Solutions, we’ve mapped all-cash home sales for each zip code in California from 2005 to 2017. Zip codes with less than 100 total sales over that time period were omitted from the map. Enter your zip code or city name to find your neighborhood on the map.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://mlevin.carto.com/viz/c75e47a5-7e3c-4611-96b4-d35d93114ef1/embed_map\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Data on foreign buyers is weak. And likely underplays their influence.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Back in 2006, about 10 percent of California single-family homes were purchased in all-cash transactions, according to the real estate data firm ATTOM Data Solutions. A decade later, it’s nearly 25 percent. That means a quarter of California’s extremely tight housing inventory is unlikely to go to households like the Rothenbergs—moderate-income families who need a mortgage to buy a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While all-cash buyers are often treated as a rough proxy for international buyers—the California Association of Realtors estimates they are more than twice as likely to pay in cash as domestic buyers—in reality they are more varied. Some are rich enough to not need to finance a first (or second or third) home, or simply prefer California real estate to the stock market. Private investment firms snapped up a ton of cheap homes during the foreclosure crisis—at one point more than one in three California homes was being purchased with all-cash. And increasingly older people, or their children, are liquidating assets to make all-cash offers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"767b7237-e7f3-4523-92a1-babee85f7f92\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Cash sales in California \">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cscript>!function(e,t,s,i){var n=\"InfogramEmbeds\",o=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0],d=/^http:/.test(e.location)?\"http:\":\"https:\";if(/^\\/{2}/.test(i)&&(i=d+i),window[n]&&window[n].initialized)window[n].process&&window[n].process();else if(!e.getElementById(s)){var r=e.createElement(\"script\");r.async=1,r.id=s,r.src=i,o.parentNode.insertBefore(r,o)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\",\"https://e.infogram.com/js/dist/embed-loader-min.js\");\u003c/script>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts came to see foreign buyers as a bigger force in the market, and a contributor to the rise in single-family rentals California has seen the past 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My guess would be that it’s flipped and that foreign buyers are now having a bigger impact than institutional investors,” said Daren Blomquist, senior vice president at ATTOM. “They aren’t a huge percentage of buyers, but certainly they are one of the reasons that the California market has bounced back so strongly from the recession.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what percentage of California’s housing stock is owned by foreign investors?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s start with this major caveat: Foreign buyer real estate data is not good. California sales deeds don’t require a buyer or seller to disclose citizenship or residency status. So analysts rely on rough proxies for foreign ownership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The house the Rothenbergs tried to buy is a good example. You can verify that the transaction was all cash, which is a good flag for a foreign buyer. You can verify that the tax address for the buyer is outside California, which is also a good flag. You can see the buyer's surname, but given California's demographic diversity, that's hardly evidence foreign ownership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s all you can really say.

First, it’s important to understand what we mean by “foreign.” Those statistics include recently arrived immigrants, of which California has quite a few. There’s legitimate debate over whether those immigrants should be counted as “foreign.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the recently arrived Chinese snapping up California properties are holders of EB-5 visas—a U.S. program granting green cards to foreigners who invest $500,000 in U.S. business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The wife and kids are in the U.S., some of the husbands are here some of the time and some are not, they have a portion of their money here and they have a portion of their money in China,” says Lin He, a real estate investor and developer who courts Chinese property speculators in places like Newport Beach and Irvine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of Chinese diaspora already settled in areas such as Orange County and the San Gabriel Valley attract a great deal of foreign investment because cultural and language similarities make the purchase process easier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of that money goes towards primary residences—Chinese visa holders living with their family in a U.S. home. But after getting a foothold in California, many recently arrived Chinese view residential real estate as an attractive investment strategy—one that was not readily available to them in China, either because of government policy or exorbitant cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real estate in Beijing and some other places is really expensive,” says He. “They spend a year here, they buy a house, they say, “You won’t believe it, it’s so cheap here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Realtors’ survey found only 40 percent of Chinese foreign buyers intend to use their U.S. home as a primary residence for their recently immigrated family. The remainder eyed it as an investment vehicle, vacation home, or for use by a student.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chinese government is not fond of letting its citizens’ burgeoning wealth wind up in American housing tracts. For years they’ve tried to clamp down on private investment leaving the country. A rule that limited Chinese citizens from taking more than $50,000 outside the country was more rigorously enforced last year, reducing Chinese home buying here according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/capital-controls-stop-mainland-chinese-real-estate-buyers-2017-05\">some reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But He cautions that people “will figure out ways to get money out of China. The appetite is always there, it’s just a matter of how they get the money out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What can California learn from Vancouver’s Foreign Buyer Tax?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The housing market in Vancouver, Canada resembles many California cities. Costs for single-family homes and condos have skyrocketed, making the city and its surrounding suburbs among the priciest places to live in North America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vancouver homes have also been a favored destination of overseas investment, primarily from China. Many residents fretted about the influence of foreign dollars on the city’s limited housing stock, but although good data was scarce, experts figured foreign buyers accounted for about 5 percent of home purchases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years ago, under intense pressure from Vancouver residents, the British Columbia provincial government began mandating that homebuyers disclose citizenship on sales documents. The data revealed that in fact, 10 to 15 percent of houses were going to neither Canadian citizens nor permanent residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the provincial government slapped a 15 percent tax on all sales to foreign home buyers. The immediate response was stunning: Within a few months, the price of a single-family property in the greater Vancouver area dropped 20 percent. In contrast, prices in Toronto and other major Canadian cities kept rising—buoyed in part by foreign capital searching for a new market outside Vancouver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the impact of the foreign buyer tax on Vancouver’s housing market appears to have waned somewhat. While foreign ownership is down, the price of single family home is about back to where it was before the tax enacted—well beyond reach for many Vancouver families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That doesn’t mean the tax isn’t making Vancouver home prices slightly more affordable than they otherwise would be, proponents say. It means the tax isn’t singlehandedly making Vancouver home prices affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"18789e7f-af4a-4224-adee-b56ce9b0e6f9\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Vancouver Home Prices Before and After Tax\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cscript>!function(e,t,s,i){var n=\"InfogramEmbeds\",o=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0],d=/^http:/.test(e.location)?\"http:\":\"https:\";if(/^\\/{2}/.test(i)&&(i=d+i),window[n]&&window[n].initialized)window[n].process&&window[n].process();else if(!e.getElementById(s)){var r=e.createElement(\"script\");r.async=1,r.id=s,r.src=i,o.parentNode.insertBefore(r,o)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\",\"https://e.infogram.com/js/dist/embed-loader-min.js\");\u003c/script>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The foreign buyer tax will have helped, and there is zero doubt about that,” says Joshua Gordon, public policy professor at Simon Fraser University and a tax supporter. “Whether it’s a panacea, and it is quite clear that is not a panacea, is a different question.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon cautions that taxing foreign buyers is not the same thing as taxing foreign money going into local real estate. Foreign investors can use local friends and families to purchase property for them. Or they can channel their money through investment funds or other instruments.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Are foreign buyers driving up prices by keeping homes off the market?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The idea of a foreign buyer tax has been floated in \u003ca href=\"https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2017/07/24/y-combinator-altman-politics-california-housing.html\">some quarters of California\u003c/a>, including Silicon Valley, but has never received significant legislative attention at the state or local level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s partly because without solid data on foreign buyers, it’s tough to gauge how much they might be driving up California prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most economists agree that locales attracting lots of foreign investment—Irvine and the San Gabriel Valley, for example—are seeing prices rise because of an influx of foreign capital. It’s difficult to extrapolate that effect statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who argue the effect of foreign buyers on California home prices is overstated often cite the type of homes offshore investors are often interested in: newly constructed houses and higher-priced houses at the top of the market. They also point to ever-rising prices in California neighborhoods that have little appeal to foreign buyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a very limited number of homes,” says He, the Orange County real estate investor. “They may sell faster, but I don’t think it has much impact on price.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while the most intense competition from abroad might be for more expensive properties, that demand can still have an impact down-market. Blunt that demand, says Wei, the Realtors’ economist, and “you’d probably see some softening in the higher-priced properties. And that would lead of course to some softening in home prices not just in those areas, but it would trigger down to the statewide median price.” But he stresses that average home prices wouldn’t see a major dip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the focus on foreign buyers demand for listed houses, their effect on the inventory of current houses for sale could be just as important. If foreign buyers are more inclined to buy property as a long-term investment vehicle, they may be less inclined to sell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The typical homeowner now stays in their house seven to 10 years,” says Rosanna Garcia, a Sacramento-area agent who specializes in investment properties for foreign buyers. “If you’re looking at a foreign investor, they’ve got the money to wait. The longer you can hold on to it, the more money you can make in the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means fewer properties on the market, and more to rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia stresses that it’s easy to blame foreign buyers for California’s housing market woes, rather than focusing on the lack of new construction or other distortions to the state’s dysfunctional housing market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not only foreign buyers who are making all-cash offers like the one that beat out the Rothenbergs.

Their agent warned they’d be bidding against not only a glut of young Sacramento-area families vying for a starter home, but also wealthier Bay Area residents fleeing astronomical prices.

And likely underplays their influence.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Back in 2006, about 10 percent of California single-family homes were purchased in all-cash transactions, according to the real estate data firm ATTOM Data Solutions. A decade later, it’s nearly 25 percent. That means a quarter of California’s extremely tight housing inventory is unlikely to go to households like the Rothenbergs—moderate-income families who need a mortgage to buy a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While all-cash buyers are often treated as a rough proxy for international buyers—the California Association of Realtors estimates they are more than twice as likely to pay in cash as domestic buyers—in reality they are more varied. Some are rich enough to not need to finance a first (or second or third) home, or simply prefer California real estate to the stock market. Private investment firms snapped up a ton of cheap homes during the foreclosure crisis—at one point more than one in three California homes was being purchased with all-cash. And increasingly older people, or their children, are liquidating assets to make all-cash offers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"767b7237-e7f3-4523-92a1-babee85f7f92\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Cash sales in California \">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cscript>!function(e,t,s,i){var n=\"InfogramEmbeds\",o=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0],d=/^http:/.test(e.location)?\"http:\":\"https:\";if(/^\\/{2}/.test(i)&&(i=d+i),window[n]&&window[n].initialized)window[n].process&&window[n].process();else if(!e.getElementById(s)){var r=e.createElement(\"script\");r.async=1,r.id=s,r.src=i,o.parentNode.insertBefore(r,o)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\",\"https://e.infogram.com/js/dist/embed-loader-min.js\");\u003c/script>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts came to see foreign buyers as a bigger force in the market, and a contributor to the rise in single-family rentals California has seen the past 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My guess would be that it’s flipped and that foreign buyers are now having a bigger impact than institutional investors,” said Daren Blomquist, senior vice president at ATTOM. “They aren’t a huge percentage of buyers, but certainly they are one of the reasons that the California market has bounced back so strongly from the recession.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what percentage of California’s housing stock is owned by foreign investors?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s start with this major caveat: Foreign buyer real estate data is not good. California sales deeds don’t require a buyer or seller to disclose citizenship or residency status. So analysts rely on rough proxies for foreign ownership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The house the Rothenbergs tried to buy is a good example. You can verify that the transaction was all cash, which is a good flag for a foreign buyer. You can verify that the tax address for the buyer is outside California, which is also a good flag. You can see the buyer's surname, but given California's demographic diversity, that's hardly evidence foreign ownership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s all you can really say. Judging by the records, the owner of the Rothenbergs’ dream house could be a foreign-based investment buyer—or he might just be a wealthy Chinese-American who lives outside California and wants to invest in Sacramento real estate.

But after getting a foothold in California, many recently arrived Chinese view residential real estate as an attractive investment strategy—one that was not readily available to them in China, either because of government policy or exorbitant cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real estate in Beijing and some other places is really expensive,” says He. “They spend a year here, they buy a house, they say, “You won’t believe it, it’s so cheap here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Realtors’ survey found only 40 percent of Chinese foreign buyers intend to use their U.S. home as a primary residence for their recently immigrated family. The remainder eyed it as an investment vehicle, vacation home, or for use by a student.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chinese government is not fond of letting its citizens’ burgeoning wealth wind up in American housing tracts. For years they’ve tried to clamp down on private investment leaving the country. A rule that limited Chinese citizens from taking more than $50,000 outside the country was more rigorously enforced last year, reducing Chinese home buying here according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/capital-controls-stop-mainland-chinese-real-estate-buyers-2017-05\">some reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But He cautions that people “will figure out ways to get money out of China. The appetite is always there, it’s just a matter of how they get the money out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What can California learn from Vancouver’s Foreign Buyer Tax?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The housing market in Vancouver, Canada resembles many California cities. Costs for single-family homes and condos have skyrocketed, making the city and its surrounding suburbs among the priciest places to live in North America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vancouver homes have also been a favored destination of overseas investment, primarily from China. Many residents fretted about the influence of foreign dollars on the city’s limited housing stock, but although good data was scarce, experts figured foreign buyers accounted for about 5 percent of home purchases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years ago, under intense pressure from Vancouver residents, the British Columbia provincial government began mandating that homebuyers disclose citizenship on sales documents. The data revealed that in fact, 10 to 15 percent of houses were going to neither Canadian citizens nor permanent residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the provincial government slapped a 15 percent tax on all sales to foreign home buyers. The immediate response was stunning: Within a few months, the price of a single-family property in the greater Vancouver area dropped 20 percent. In contrast, prices in Toronto and other major Canadian cities kept rising—buoyed in part by foreign capital searching for a new market outside Vancouver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the impact of the foreign buyer tax on Vancouver’s housing market appears to have waned somewhat. While foreign ownership is down, the price of single family home is about back to where it was before the tax enacted—well beyond reach for many Vancouver families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That doesn’t mean the tax isn’t making Vancouver home prices slightly more affordable than they otherwise would be, proponents say. It means the tax isn’t singlehandedly making Vancouver home prices affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"18789e7f-af4a-4224-adee-b56ce9b0e6f9\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Vancouver Home Prices Before and After Tax\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cscript>!function(e,t,s,i){var n=\"InfogramEmbeds\",o=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0],d=/^http:/.test(e.location)?\"http:\":\"https:\";if(/^\\/{2}/.test(i)&&(i=d+i),window[n]&&window[n].initialized)window[n].process&&window[n].process();else if(!e.getElementById(s)){var r=e.createElement(\"script\");r.async=1,r.id=s,r.src=i,o.parentNode.insertBefore(r,o)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\",\"https://e.infogram.com/js/dist/embed-loader-min.js\");\u003c/script>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The foreign buyer tax will have helped, and there is zero doubt about that,” says Joshua Gordon, public policy professor at Simon Fraser University and a tax supporter. “Whether it’s a panacea, and it is quite clear that is not a panacea, is a different question.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon cautions that taxing foreign buyers is not the same thing as taxing foreign money going into local real estate. Foreign investors can use local friends and families to purchase property for them. Or they can channel their money through investment funds or other instruments.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Are foreign buyers driving up prices by keeping homes off the market?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The idea of a foreign buyer tax has been floated in \u003ca href=\"https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2017/07/24/y-combinator-altman-politics-california-housing.html\">some quarters of California\u003c/a>, including Silicon Valley, but has never received significant legislative attention at the state or local level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s partly because without solid data on foreign buyers, it’s tough to gauge how much they might be driving up California prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most economists agree that locales attracting lots of foreign investment—Irvine and the San Gabriel Valley, for example—are seeing prices rise because of an influx of foreign capital. It’s difficult to extrapolate that effect statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who argue the effect of foreign buyers on California home prices is overstated often cite the type of homes offshore investors are often interested in: newly constructed houses and higher-priced houses at the top of the market. They also point to ever-rising prices in California neighborhoods that have little appeal to foreign buyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a very limited number of homes,” says He, the Orange County real estate investor. “They may sell faster, but I don’t think it has much impact on price.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while the most intense competition from abroad might be for more expensive properties, that demand can still have an impact down-market. Blunt that demand, says Wei, the Realtors’ economist, and “you’d probably see some softening in the higher-priced properties. And that would lead of course to some softening in home prices not just in those areas, but it would trigger down to the statewide median price.” But he stresses that average home prices wouldn’t see a major dip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the focus on foreign buyers demand for listed houses, their effect on the inventory of current houses for sale could be just as important. If foreign buyers are more inclined to buy property as a long-term investment vehicle, they may be less inclined to sell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The typical homeowner now stays in their house seven to 10 years,” says Rosanna Garcia, a Sacramento-area agent who specializes in investment properties for foreign buyers. “If you’re looking at a foreign investor, they’ve got the money to wait. The longer you can hold on to it, the more money you can make in the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means fewer properties on the market, and more to rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia stresses that it’s easy to blame foreign buyers for California’s housing market woes, rather than focusing on the lack of new construction or other distortions to the state’s dysfunctional housing market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not only foreign buyers who are making all-cash offers like the one that beat out the Rothenbergs. Next we’ll examine the role of private investment firms in our continuing coverage of California’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/housing-costs-high-california/\">housing crisis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
