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

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

"content": "\u003cp>In the five years before the COVID-19 pandemic, low-income Californians had begun to see substantial wage gains that were slowly chipping away at the long-growing income inequality gap between the state’s haves and have-nots. But the coronavirus pandemic is “likely stripping away many of these gains,” according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/incoming-inequality-and-economic-opportunity-in-california-december-2020.pdf\">new report\u003c/a> from the Public Policy Institute of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current coronavirus-induced recession has hit low-income workers the hardest, while higher-income workers, largely able to work from home, have escaped relatively unscathed. And the extent of the job losses among low-wage workers — particularly African Americans, Latinos, workers without college degrees and women — has remained worryingly high through the fall, researchers found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This could be “exacerbating that kind of pattern of recession and recovery that’s worse for low-income families,” said lead author Sarah Bohn, PPIC’s vice president of research. “In fact, these unemployment rate differences across income are a bit worse today than they were during the Great Recession.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/4640148/embed?auto=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report’s findings are underscored by recent troubling new estimates of monthly poverty rates in the Golden State from a group of researchers at Columbia University’s Center on Poverty and Social Policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The monthly poverty rate in October was actually higher than rates during April and May, despite the fact that the unemployment rate declined over that time,” Zachary Parolin, who led the research, said during a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpEDmPgDy34&t=1353s\">livestreamed data release\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because the federal CARES Act stimulus checks and expansion of unemployment benefits have mostly expired. With \u003ca href=\"http://cbrtcfj.createsend1.com/t/ViewEmail/j/EBA4E15BEBE2FE412540EF23F30FEDED\">unemployment ticking up\u003c/a> as California’s new regional shutdown orders go into effect, the picture is likely even worse now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parolin’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.povertycenter.columbia.edu/news-internal/2020/covid-projecting-monthly-poverty\">estimates\u003c/a> replicate the U.S. Census Bureau’s annual Supplemental Poverty Measure, which unlike the Official Poverty Measure, accounts for safety net benefits and the cost of living — a measure \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/california/article234920662.html\">California consistently tops\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taken together, the two sets of research paint an alarming picture of deepening poverty and inequality that could take years, if not decades, for California to dig itself out of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California lawmakers are already mulling solutions, although ambitious proposals made at this time of year often get reined in by fiscal realities later in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"income-inequality\"]Last week, Assemblymember Phil Ting, a San Francisco Democrat who chairs the budget committee, announced \u003ca href=\"https://a19.asmdc.org/sites/a19.asmdc.org/files/pdf/2021-22-assembly-budget-blueprint.pdf\">his priorities\u003c/a> for the session. They included transitional kindergarten for all 4-year-olds, more financial aid for college students, more money for low-income families through the state’s earned income tax credit and making parents who don’t work eligible for the state’s young child tax credit of up to $1,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our major priority is making sure we do everything to get money into the pockets of the most vulnerable Californians,” Ting said. “So many Californians are struggling. They’re on the brink of homelessness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toni Symonds, chief consultant for the Assembly Committee on Jobs, Economic Development, and the Economy, speaking on a panel about the new poverty data, said that lawmakers are considering expanding subsidized child care for essential workers, salary subsidies for part-time workers at businesses reopening after regional shutdowns and food assistance, such as the $365 the state offered to families with children last spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt Fleming, spokesperson for the Assembly Republican Caucus, said that Republican lawmakers, too, are focused on getting money into people’s pockets as quickly as possible. GOP lawmakers are considering bills to redirect funding from California’s floundering high-speed rail to education, fix the state’s beleaguered Employment Development Department and repeal Assembly Bill 5, which makes it harder to classify workers as contractors. Above all, he said, they’ll advocate to keep businesses open and schools in person as much as possible in the coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Governor Newsom’s COVID shutdowns have disproportionately targeted those industries that provide jobs to low-income families,” said Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove of Bakersfield in a statement. “Democrat policies have left them with fewer jobs, more unpaid bills, and less opportunity for their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 id=\"h-a-recent-history-of-economic-inequality\">\u003cstrong>Recent History of Economic Inequality\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The gap between California’s haves and have-nots has widened markedly since 1980, with the loss of manufacturing jobs, more automation, rising incomes for highly educated workers, declining collective bargaining power and rising numbers of less-educated immigrants, the PPIC report noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1980, wages for the 10% of families with the highest incomes were 7.4 times higher than for families in the bottom 10%. By 2019, that gap had widened to 9.8 times higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/4640254/embed?auto=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recessions have historically made inequality worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highest-income families generally take a hit of up to 7% then recover within a few years. Meanwhile, the lowest-income families often face “much steeper and deeper declines,” of up to 20% in wages, PPIC’s Bohn explained. In three of the last four recessions, it has taken them a decade on average to recover their pre-recession wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But following the recovery from the Great Recession, things were looking up.

But the coronavirus pandemic is “likely stripping away many of these gains,” according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/incoming-inequality-and-economic-opportunity-in-california-december-2020.pdf\">new report\u003c/a> from the Public Policy Institute of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current coronavirus-induced recession has hit low-income workers the hardest, while higher-income workers, largely able to work from home, have escaped relatively unscathed. And the extent of the job losses among low-wage workers — particularly African Americans, Latinos, workers without college degrees and women — has remained worryingly high through the fall, researchers found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This could be “exacerbating that kind of pattern of recession and recovery that’s worse for low-income families,” said lead author Sarah Bohn, PPIC’s vice president of research. “In fact, these unemployment rate differences across income are a bit worse today than they were during the Great Recession.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/4640148/embed?auto=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report’s findings are underscored by recent troubling new estimates of monthly poverty rates in the Golden State from a group of researchers at Columbia University’s Center on Poverty and Social Policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They included transitional kindergarten for all 4-year-olds, more financial aid for college students, more money for low-income families through the state’s earned income tax credit and making parents who don’t work eligible for the state’s young child tax credit of up to $1,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our major priority is making sure we do everything to get money into the pockets of the most vulnerable Californians,” Ting said. “So many Californians are struggling. They’re on the brink of homelessness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toni Symonds, chief consultant for the Assembly Committee on Jobs, Economic Development, and the Economy, speaking on a panel about the new poverty data, said that lawmakers are considering expanding subsidized child care for essential workers, salary subsidies for part-time workers at businesses reopening after regional shutdowns and food assistance, such as the $365 the state offered to families with children last spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt Fleming, spokesperson for the Assembly Republican Caucus, said that Republican lawmakers, too, are focused on getting money into people’s pockets as quickly as possible. GOP lawmakers are considering bills to redirect funding from California’s floundering high-speed rail to education, fix the state’s beleaguered Employment Development Department and repeal Assembly Bill 5, which makes it harder to classify workers as contractors. Above all, he said, they’ll advocate to keep businesses open and schools in person as much as possible in the coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Governor Newsom’s COVID shutdowns have disproportionately targeted those industries that provide jobs to low-income families,” said Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove of Bakersfield in a statement. “Democrat policies have left them with fewer jobs, more unpaid bills, and less opportunity for their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 id=\"h-a-recent-history-of-economic-inequality\">\u003cstrong>Recent History of Economic Inequality\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The gap between California’s haves and have-nots has widened markedly since 1980, with the loss of manufacturing jobs, more automation, rising incomes for highly educated workers, declining collective bargaining power and rising numbers of less-educated immigrants, the PPIC report noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1980, wages for the 10% of families with the highest incomes were 7.4 times higher than for families in the bottom 10%. By 2019, that gap had widened to 9.8 times higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/4640254/embed?auto=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recessions have historically made inequality worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highest-income families generally take a hit of up to 7% then recover within a few years. Meanwhile, the lowest-income families often face “much steeper and deeper declines,” of up to 20% in wages, PPIC’s Bohn explained. In three of the last four recessions, it has taken them a decade on average to recover their pre-recession wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But following the recovery from the Great Recession, things were looking up. A historically long period of economic growth had seen incomes for the poorest Californians rise from $20,000 in 2014 to $27,000 in 2019, a 34% increase that outpaced income growth for the highest earners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the pandemic hit, putting entire low-wage sectors out of work, like restaurants, retail, entertainment, tourism and beauty and barber shops.

The Greater Sacramento region, which includes the Lake Tahoe area counties of El Dorado, Placer, Nevada and Amador, became subject to the stay-at-home order after ICU capacity in that region dipped below 15% on Dec. 11. Just days later, the 11 counties that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11851396/entire-bay-area-region-now-subject-to-strict-stay-at-home-order\">make up the state-designated Bay Area region\u003c/a> became subject to the same order, and remain under it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Jan. 1, the California Department of Public Health announced that the Greater Sacramento region would continue to stay under the regional stay-at-home order — because the area’s four-week projected ICU capacity did not meet the criteria to exit the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11850757 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/12/H0WEY-span-style-text-align-center-display-block-icu-bed-availability-by-county-span--1038x576.png']But despite those spiking cases, guidance from the state regarding travel for the purposes of outdoor winter recreation has been slightly uneven. Gov. Gavin Newsom specifically encouraged Californians to take part in outdoor activities like skiing and snowboarding when he announced the state's stay-at-home orders – and some hotels are being less proactive than others in canceling reservations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what should you do?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"travel\">\u003c/a>Can I Travel to Tahoe During Stay-at-Home Orders?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Overall, it's discouraged.

Those restrictions say that nonessential activities — including \"all activities conducted outside the residence, lodging, or temporary accommodation with members of other households\" — are prohibited between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m for counties with widespread coronavirus risk (also known as Tier 1 or purple tier.) El Dorado, Placer, Amador and Nevada counties \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/\">still fall under this risk category\u003c/a>, according to the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"covid-19,coronavirus\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, in the \u003cem>same\u003c/em> state order, it says nothing in the state guidance prevents households from leaving their residence, so long as they're not socializing with other households. It also acknowledges that outdoor exercise is essential for promoting physical and mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what should you do? County officials say, \u003cem>if\u003c/em> you're going to go, make it a short trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The preference is to stay in your local area. But if you come to Tahoe from the Bay Area, make it a day trip. And while you're in Tahoe, take all the precautions,\" said Carla Hass, communications director for El Dorado County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a long day, but it certainly is doable,\" Hass said. \"And people have been doing it for generations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People like Paige Hutson, a Marin County resident who's been skiing in Tahoe for 45 years. She says day trips are doable, just make sure to pack a lunch before you go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People just need to stop for a moment and think: Are they contributing or are they part of the solution? And take personal responsibility for the things that we are all doing on a day-to-day basis to prevent the spread of COVID-19,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jon Slaughter, director of marketing for Sugar Bowl resort in North Lake Tahoe, echoed the encouragement to make a Tahoe trip a day trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You're just going to come up, you're going to enjoy the outdoors, have a blast,\" he said. \"I mean, the snow's great. The weather's been beautiful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But then you're going to stay together and then you're going to head back home after that,\" he urged.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"hotels\">\u003c/a>I Had a Hotel Reservation. What Should I Do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While resorts are open for skiing and snowboarding, staying overnight is generally off the table while a stay-at-home order is in effect. Under the new order, hotels and short-term rentals are unable to offer lodgings to nonessential travelers, from in-state or out-of-state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how hotels should inform their guests of the change is less clear. At The Village at Squaw Valley Lodging, staff said they were proactively contacting guests to cancel their reservations in December. And Placer County officials said in a statement that they were working to notify short-term rental owners in the county about the order, and \"educate them about the rental restriction that is now in place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you have a reservation on the books in the next few weeks, and you haven't heard anything yet, you may want to check in to make sure you can get a refund or reschedule your travel.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>If I Stay on the Nevada-side of Tahoe, Do I Need to Quarantine When I Come Back?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Technically, yes! According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/Travel-Advisory.aspx\">travel advisory\u003c/a> issued in mid-November, anyone traveling from outside the state should self-quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes things complicated for areas like South Lake Tahoe, which sit close to or on the California/Nevada border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Carla Hass, communications director for El Dorado County']'The time has never been more ripe for personal responsibility than it is today.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hass affirms that, yes, best practice would be to quarantine for two weeks. But she also encourages visitors to use their common sense and follow best practices, like social distancing and wearing masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody is going to be standing at the state line, asking you where you've come from and where you're going,\" she said. \"The time has never been more ripe for personal responsibility than it is today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco has also \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11853337/sf-extends-travel-restrictions-local-stay-at-home-order\">extended\u003c/a> its \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11851616/san-francisco-orders-10-day-quarantine-for-anyone-traveling-from-outside-bay-area\">mandatory 10-day quarantine\u003c/a> for anyone coming into the city from outside nine counties in the greater Bay Area region. The order first went into effect on Dec. 18 and officials say \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/news/travel-quarantine-and-local-stay-home-orders-extended\">the extension will now continue\u003c/a> until the region is no longer subject to the state’s regional stay-at-home order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"enforcement\">\u003c/a>How Will This Order Be Enforced?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>According to the state, failure to comply with the stay-at-home order can result in a monetary fine, a misdemeanor, revocation of a business license or other court-imposed penalties. The state works with local officials to implement the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many local sheriff's offices have been reticent when it comes to hard-line enforcement. Both Placer and El Dorado counties' sheriff's offices said they would focus mainly on providing education rather than punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In El Dorado County, sheriff's officials suggested that residents who witness noncompliance with the order to report it to the county Department of Public Health. Placer County officials encourage residents to call 211.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Hutson, the best way to look at the regulations is as an investment in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It may be different at the end of January,\" she said. \"If we do a good job now, maybe we'll have the ability to spend the weekend or several days skiing, which is what we all want.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

But it's complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/12.3.20-Stay-at-Home-Order-ICU-Scenario.pdf\">the state's stay-at-home orders\u003c/a>, all residents living in a region under the order \"shall stay home or at their place of residence except as necessary to conduct activities associated with the operation, maintenance, or usage of critical infrastructure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/limited-stay-at-home-order.aspx\">limited stay-at-home order\u003c/a>, which was put in place back in November, has also been extended and will now expire only after the regional stay-at-home order has ended across California. Those restrictions say that nonessential activities — including \"all activities conducted outside the residence, lodging, or temporary accommodation with members of other households\" — are prohibited between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m for counties with widespread coronavirus risk (also known as Tier 1 or purple tier.) El Dorado, Placer, Amador and Nevada counties \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/\">still fall under this risk category\u003c/a>, according to the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It also acknowledges that outdoor exercise is essential for promoting physical and mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what should you do? County officials say, \u003cem>if\u003c/em> you're going to go, make it a short trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The preference is to stay in your local area. But if you come to Tahoe from the Bay Area, make it a day trip. And while you're in Tahoe, take all the precautions,\" said Carla Hass, communications director for El Dorado County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a long day, but it certainly is doable,\" Hass said. \"And people have been doing it for generations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People like Paige Hutson, a Marin County resident who's been skiing in Tahoe for 45 years. She says day trips are doable, just make sure to pack a lunch before you go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People just need to stop for a moment and think: Are they contributing or are they part of the solution? And take personal responsibility for the things that we are all doing on a day-to-day basis to prevent the spread of COVID-19,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jon Slaughter, director of marketing for Sugar Bowl resort in North Lake Tahoe, echoed the encouragement to make a Tahoe trip a day trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You're just going to come up, you're going to enjoy the outdoors, have a blast,\" he said. \"I mean, the snow's great. The weather's been beautiful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But then you're going to stay together and then you're going to head back home after that,\" he urged.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"hotels\">\u003c/a>I Had a Hotel Reservation. What Should I Do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While resorts are open for skiing and snowboarding, staying overnight is generally off the table while a stay-at-home order is in effect. Under the new order, hotels and short-term rentals are unable to offer lodgings to nonessential travelers, from in-state or out-of-state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how hotels should inform their guests of the change is less clear. At The Village at Squaw Valley Lodging, staff said they were proactively contacting guests to cancel their reservations in December. And Placer County officials said in a statement that they were working to notify short-term rental owners in the county about the order, and \"educate them about the rental restriction that is now in place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you have a reservation on the books in the next few weeks, and you haven't heard anything yet, you may want to check in to make sure you can get a refund or reschedule your travel.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>If I Stay on the Nevada-side of Tahoe, Do I Need to Quarantine When I Come Back?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Technically, yes! According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/Travel-Advisory.aspx\">travel advisory\u003c/a> issued in mid-November, anyone traveling from outside the state should self-quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes things complicated for areas like South Lake Tahoe, which sit close to or on the California/Nevada border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It not only offers books for parents, but educational materials and puzzles, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other independent local bookstores might provide you with yearly calendars, bookmarks, cards, toys or themed memorabilia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you can’t enter a store to browse in person because of COVID-19 restrictions, take an extra five minutes to browse their website — or just give them a call direct and speak to a member of staff to find out what they offer. Asking what their most popular gifts are is often a good start.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Consider Subscriptions, Too\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Subscriptions can be a true help to small businesses, says Doug Hewitt, co-founder and CEO of \u003ca href=\"https://www.1951coffee.com/\">1951 Coffee Company\u003c/a> — a Bay Area nonprofit that provides job training and employment to refugees, asylees and special immigrant visa holders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11850344\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1012px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11850344\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/12/1951-Coffee_Durable-Solution-Roast_1.jpg\" alt=\"An employee of 1951 Coffee sits holding a bag of coffee\" width=\"1012\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/12/1951-Coffee_Durable-Solution-Roast_1.jpg 1012w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/12/1951-Coffee_Durable-Solution-Roast_1-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/12/1951-Coffee_Durable-Solution-Roast_1-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 1012px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">1951 Coffee Company’s beans are available to purchase as a subscription as a gift — a model that helps small businesses plan for the future. \u003ccite>(Courtesy 1951 Coffee)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In addition to \u003ca href=\"https://www.1951coffee.com/coffee\">coffee beans\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.1951coffee.com/merchandising\">merchandise\u003c/a> — including mugs and apparel with multilingual designs — 1951 Coffee Company’s website also offers subscriptions as a way of regularly gifting freshly roasted direct-trade coffee to the person of your choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And subscriptions are particularly supportive to a business like this, Hewitt says, because “predictability helps everything move forward” and provides a reliable source of income a small store can plan around. As a gift-giver, subscriptions are also a nice way to give something with a lasting impact beyond the holiday season.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>If Things Get Complex, Remember You’re Buying More Than a Gift\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes, intentionally spending your holiday dollars at a small local business can take more time, effort and planning than hitting up a big box store, or purchasing online from a huge company like Amazon. You could also end up spending more money on the same item.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But remember why you’re doing it — especially during a pandemic that closed many small businesses so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green Apple’s Pete Mulvihill urges you to think ” ‘if X store closed, would I be really sad?’ Then make that list in your head, and spend your money at those shops,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joey Montoya is CEO and founder of \u003ca href=\"https://urbannativeera.com/\">Urban Native Era\u003c/a>, an online clothing brand that focuses on designs that increase the visibility of Indigenous people and issues.

Thanks to customers supporting his business, Montoya’s been able to bring on four new employees in 2020, and offer these careers in design and fashion within his community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Montoya’s also hopeful that continued support through online orders might allow him to realize his hope of opening a physical location for Urban Native Era — which was born in San Francisco, and is now run out of Los Angeles — that would also function as an Indigenous community space. “Especially with our community, it’s really hard to find a space to gather, a space to be,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His ultimate dream: “Opening up a store or a location right below where I where I grew up in San Francisco, in the Mission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Post About Them on Social Media\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Something you might overlook in the rush to secure gifts: using your purchase as an opportunity to give a small business a shoutout on your social media platform of choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it’s on Twitter, TikTok, Instagram or Facebook, an idea can spread fast — and your post about opting to buy gifts from small businesses might plant a seed in someone’s head for their own purchases.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Joey Montoya, founder and CEO of Urban Native Era\"]‘When you invest in a small business, you’re really investing in the person, the community, the resources they use, and you’re essentially just giving back into the community.’[/pullquote]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if that person doesn’t directly come to our shop, it just kind of helps spread that ‘shop local’ message,” Mulvihill says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember to tag the business in your post if possible, to allow them to see it and potentially share it themselves.

It’s seniors on fixed income, individuals on disability. They might be paying 60, 70, 80, 90 percent of their income just on rent every single month, which puts them in a ridiculously precarious position of becoming homeless, and we’re seeing that now more than ever with the effects of COVID,” Loving said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that any entity trying to build affordable housing faces an uphill battle given the housing market in the Bay Area. Despite the exodus of locals fleeing high rents in recent years, the Bay Area is undersupplied by 699,000 housing units and needs to build 2.2 million more by 2070, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/sites/default/files/publications_pdfs/what_it_will_really_take_to_create_an_affordable_bay_area.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study\u003c/a> published in March by the San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR). And experts don’t anticipate the current exodus of locals fleeing COVID-19 will budge those numbers much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The market will never create solutions for individuals and families with extremely low income. So the willingness [of tech firms] to use their positional power to say that this housing has to be for the most vulnerable people, that are disproportionately families of color that are really struggling in the Bay. That is the kind of leadership that frankly we need a lot more of,” Loving said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook’s Community Housing Fund will be managed by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, the largest community development organization in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The size of the investment says that this is real. For these affordable housing developers that we work with, the more that one source of money can do more for their project, the faster they can get to construction,” said Cindy Wu, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.lisc.org/bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LISC Bay Area\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One-third of the funding will be dedicated to Santa Clara County through Destination: Home, but projects from Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco and San Mateo counties are also eligible to apply.

They might be paying 60, 70, 80, 90 percent of their income just on rent every single month, which puts them in a ridiculously precarious position of becoming homeless, and we’re seeing that now more than ever with the effects of COVID,” Loving said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that any entity trying to build affordable housing faces an uphill battle given the housing market in the Bay Area. Despite the exodus of locals fleeing high rents in recent years, the Bay Area is undersupplied by 699,000 housing units and needs to build 2.2 million more by 2070, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/sites/default/files/publications_pdfs/what_it_will_really_take_to_create_an_affordable_bay_area.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study\u003c/a> published in March by the San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR). And experts don’t anticipate the current exodus of locals fleeing COVID-19 will budge those numbers much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The market will never create solutions for individuals and families with extremely low income. So the willingness [of tech firms] to use their positional power to say that this housing has to be for the most vulnerable people, that are disproportionately families of color that are really struggling in the Bay. That is the kind of leadership that frankly we need a lot more of,” Loving said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook’s Community Housing Fund will be managed by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, the largest community development organization in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The size of the investment says that this is real. For these affordable housing developers that we work with, the more that one source of money can do more for their project, the faster they can get to construction,” said Cindy Wu, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.lisc.org/bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LISC Bay Area\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One-third of the funding will be dedicated to Santa Clara County through Destination: Home, but projects from Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco and San Mateo counties are also eligible to apply.
