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.",

Instead of trying to shift government out of the healthcare marketplace, California is looking for a way to fund single-payer health care, including coverage for undocumented immigrants. Instead of criminalizing pot, the state is looking forward to collecting taxes on \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/pot-legal-california-will-get-thought-voted/\">marijuana\u003c/a> sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the months between now and the June deadline for a final budget, the governor and the Legislature will hammer out details. The focus this year: what to do with an expected surplus of $6.1 billion. Republicans say return it to California’s 40 million residents as a nice tax refund. The governor's priority is to fill up the state’s rainy day fund. Democratic legislators mostly want to spend it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Because a portion of those taxes will no longer be deductible, it acts as double taxation for California taxpayers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León, who is running for U.S. Senate, introduced legislation Thursday to shield Californians from bearing the costs of the tax overhaul. The \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB227\">bill\u003c/a>, dubbed Protect California Taxpayers Act, would allow taxpayers to make charitable deductions to the state and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on the full amount of their contribution. By having residents donate to the state government as a charitable contribution, the contribution remains deductible on federal taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Republican tax plan gives corporations and hedge-fund managers a trillion-dollar tax cut and expects California taxpayers to foot the bill,” de León said in announcing his legislation. “We won’t allow California residents to be the casualty of this disastrous tax scheme.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown was particularly vocal against the GOP tax proposal, calling it a “\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/trump_california/jerry-brown-urges-no-vote-tax-monstrosity/\">tax monstrosity\u003c/a>,” but the governor expressed reservations about whether the state could sidestep federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks interesting,” Brown said. “But two questions: Can it work? If it does work, can the Internal Revenue Service issue a regulation and completely subvert it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León responded that he was confident it would work because similar charitable deductions have already been given out for education-based contributions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, state Democrats are in agreement about a common threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it’s federal tax changes or entitlement cuts, the leader of the Assembly, Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount, said he’s most concerned Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration will take another swipe at liberal California in 2018. “We’re worried about the next shoe to drop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>One way or another, two words are likely to dominate the complicated politics of California’s housing crisis in 2018: rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next week state lawmakers will hear a \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1506\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> from Assemblyman Richard Bloom, Democrat from Santa Monica, that would allow cities to dramatically restrict what landlords can charge tenants year-over-year. The bill couldn’t even get a hearing last year amid intense opposition from landlords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But looming over legislators’ heads this time around is a potential ballot \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/Title%20and%20Summary%20%2817-0041%29.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">initiative\u003c/a> supported by tenants’ rights groups that would do much of the same. If the bill stalls, experts say there’s a good chance you’ll see rent control on your November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What should your average Californian know about a rent control debate poised to gobble up so much political oxygen? Here are five key points:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>1. Under current state law, a wide swath of California’s housing stock can’t be placed under rent control.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Rent control or rent stabilization policies come in different shapes and sizes depending on the city you may find them in. Some place a hard cap on how much a landlord can raise rents year over year, others may be indexed to inflation. Currently, 15 California cities have some form of rent control on the books, including major population centers like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But current state law prohibits any locality in California from imposing rent control on properties built after 1995. That’s the year the state passed the Costa-Hawkins Act, which also prohibited cities that already had rent control laws on their books from updating them for new properties. Thus, in Los Angeles, rent control only applies to buildings constructed before 1978, and in San Francisco, rent control only applies to buildings built before 1980.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/bay-area-rent-control-laws-1g0n2on0nrd9p4y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bit of background: After some cities responded to tenants’ concerns about rising rents in the 1970s and '80s by adopting rent control ordinances, real estate interests first tried to stop them in the courts. Unsuccessful there, they focused on the Legislature. Bills to preempt local rent control would routinely pass the Assembly and then die in the Senate, held up by then-Senate President Pro Tem David Roberti, a West Hollywood Democrat. The year after he was termed out of office, Costa-Hawkins passed by a one-vote margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Bloom’s bill (as it is currently written) and the initiative would fully repeal Costa Hawkins, massively expanding the number of properties on which cities could impose rent control. That includes single-family homes, which Costa-Hawkins also excluded from rent control protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. Most economists -- left or right -- think rent control is bad.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Economists have a hard time agreeing on most things. But regardless of partisan leaning, most economists would say rent control is not great policy. Even prominent progressives like Paul Krugman have expressed opposition to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rent control is quite literally the textbook example of a “price ceiling” -- undergrad economics textbooks will often feature problem sets with questions about what’s wrong with rent control. The classic microeconomic downsides include killing the incentive to build more housing, causing landlords to neglect maintenance and repair, and inflated prices for non-rent-controlled units. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/rent-control\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">poll\u003c/a> of ideologically diverse economists found that only 2 percent agreed with the statement that rent control had had a positive impact on housing affordability in cities like New York and San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. Scholars in other fields are generally bigger fans. And if you took away rent control, the results could be disastrous for affordability.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many urban planners and other scholars studying gentrification and displacement cite rent control as an effective policy to keep long-time residents in the communities in which they live and work. And because rent control has become so deeply embedded in the housing markets of some cities, taking it away -- no matter how economically inefficient it may be -- could spell disaster for current residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/rent-control-key-to-affording-san-francisco-1hnq41n8pk3x63z\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area Council Economic Institute -- a business-aligned policy think tank -- ran a simulation of 20 policy changes that could improve or worsen housing affordability in San Francisco. The policy that would make things worst? Getting rid of rent control, which they found would plunge 16,000 households into an unaffordable housing situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. One of the best studies of rent control shows that it primarily benefits older households at the expense of households without rent control.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There actually aren’t a ton of empirical studies looking at how rent control plays out in practice. But a groundbreaking Stanford University \u003ca href=\"https://web.stanford.edu/~tmcquade/rentcontrol.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">study\u003c/a> released last year on San Francisco’s rent control experience has shed new light on who wins and who loses from the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking at a roughly 20-year span of proprietary rental and migration data, the study authors found that rent-controlled tenants age 40 or over saw average savings of nearly $120,000 from rent control; by contrast, younger rent-controlled tenants only saved an average of $40,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because younger households were more likely to move out of rent-controlled apartments because of various life milestones -- a new job, a new family, buying a house in the suburbs, etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. The study also found that rent control paradoxically fueled gentrification, as landlords converted units to condos.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Stanford study also found that rent-controlled buildings were 10 percent more likely to be converted to a condominium or some other type of non-rental property, as landlords searched for ways to evade the law. Those units being drawn off the market partly drove up rental prices for tenants searching for apartments in San Francisco. In this sense, the study authors argue, rent control paradoxically contributed to the well-publicized gentrification the city has experienced over the past few decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/does-rent-control-actually-keep-a-community-together-1hmr6goxj8784nl\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the study also found that rent-controlled tenants were more likely to stay in the city than tenants without rent control, the gap may not be as wide as you think. After 10 years, about 11 percent of tenants without rent control were living at the same San Francisco address. Tenants with rent control? Thirteen percent stayed put.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How to participate in the debate: The rent control bill will be heard by the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee on Thursday, Jan. 11 at 9 a.m., and will include a public comment period. You can watch the hearing—which should be pretty lively as far as legislative hearings go \u003ca href=\"http://www.calchannel.com/live-webcast/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

That’s the year the state passed the Costa-Hawkins Act, which also prohibited cities that already had rent control laws on their books from updating them for new properties. Thus, in Los Angeles, rent control only applies to buildings constructed before 1978, and in San Francisco, rent control only applies to buildings built before 1980.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/bay-area-rent-control-laws-1g0n2on0nrd9p4y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bit of background: After some cities responded to tenants’ concerns about rising rents in the 1970s and '80s by adopting rent control ordinances, real estate interests first tried to stop them in the courts. Unsuccessful there, they focused on the Legislature. Bills to preempt local rent control would routinely pass the Assembly and then die in the Senate, held up by then-Senate President Pro Tem David Roberti, a West Hollywood Democrat. The year after he was termed out of office, Costa-Hawkins passed by a one-vote margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Bloom’s bill (as it is currently written) and the initiative would fully repeal Costa Hawkins, massively expanding the number of properties on which cities could impose rent control. That includes single-family homes, which Costa-Hawkins also excluded from rent control protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. Most economists -- left or right -- think rent control is bad.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Economists have a hard time agreeing on most things. But regardless of partisan leaning, most economists would say rent control is not great policy. Even prominent progressives like Paul Krugman have expressed opposition to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rent control is quite literally the textbook example of a “price ceiling” -- undergrad economics textbooks will often feature problem sets with questions about what’s wrong with rent control. The classic microeconomic downsides include killing the incentive to build more housing, causing landlords to neglect maintenance and repair, and inflated prices for non-rent-controlled units. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/rent-control\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">poll\u003c/a> of ideologically diverse economists found that only 2 percent agreed with the statement that rent control had had a positive impact on housing affordability in cities like New York and San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. Scholars in other fields are generally bigger fans. And if you took away rent control, the results could be disastrous for affordability.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many urban planners and other scholars studying gentrification and displacement cite rent control as an effective policy to keep long-time residents in the communities in which they live and work. And because rent control has become so deeply embedded in the housing markets of some cities, taking it away -- no matter how economically inefficient it may be -- could spell disaster for current residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/rent-control-key-to-affording-san-francisco-1hnq41n8pk3x63z\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area Council Economic Institute -- a business-aligned policy think tank -- ran a simulation of 20 policy changes that could improve or worsen housing affordability in San Francisco. The policy that would make things worst? Getting rid of rent control, which they found would plunge 16,000 households into an unaffordable housing situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. One of the best studies of rent control shows that it primarily benefits older households at the expense of households without rent control.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There actually aren’t a ton of empirical studies looking at how rent control plays out in practice. But a groundbreaking Stanford University \u003ca href=\"https://web.stanford.edu/~tmcquade/rentcontrol.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">study\u003c/a> released last year on San Francisco’s rent control experience has shed new light on who wins and who loses from the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking at a roughly 20-year span of proprietary rental and migration data, the study authors found that rent-controlled tenants age 40 or over saw average savings of nearly $120,000 from rent control; by contrast, younger rent-controlled tenants only saved an average of $40,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because younger households were more likely to move out of rent-controlled apartments because of various life milestones -- a new job, a new family, buying a house in the suburbs, etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. The study also found that rent control paradoxically fueled gentrification, as landlords converted units to condos.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Stanford study also found that rent-controlled buildings were 10 percent more likely to be converted to a condominium or some other type of non-rental property, as landlords searched for ways to evade the law. Those units being drawn off the market partly drove up rental prices for tenants searching for apartments in San Francisco. In this sense, the study authors argue, rent control paradoxically contributed to the well-publicized gentrification the city has experienced over the past few decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/does-rent-control-actually-keep-a-community-together-1hmr6goxj8784nl\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the study also found that rent-controlled tenants were more likely to stay in the city than tenants without rent control, the gap may not be as wide as you think. After 10 years, about 11 percent of tenants without rent control were living at the same San Francisco address. Tenants with rent control? Thirteen percent stayed put.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How to participate in the debate: The rent control bill will be heard by the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee on Thursday, Jan. 11 at 9 a.m., and will include a public comment period. You can watch the hearing—which should be pretty lively as far as legislative hearings go \u003ca href=\"http://www.calchannel.com/live-webcast/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
