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.",

And you don’t necessarily need an attorney to file a claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We asked \u003ca href=\"https://www.uchastings.edu/people/jared-ellias/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jared Ellias\u003c/a>, professor of bankruptcy law at UC Hastings College of the Law, what wildfire survivors need to know to \u003ca href=\"https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/pge/EPOC-Index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">file their claims\u003c/a> with PG&E before the Monday deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Why does this PG&E “bar date” exist in the first place?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>One way to think about the bar date, and the bar date process, is the bankruptcy court has to identify everybody who has some sort of claim that PG&E might need to pay, and they use this process to do it. And it’s the beginning of that, not the end of it. So if you file a form with the court, you’re opening the door to getting something from the PG&E bankruptcy.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What’s the most important thing people need to know by Monday’s deadline?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The most important thing you need to know is to get things in on time. That has to happen. If that doesn’t happen, your chances of getting anything from PG&E are pretty low.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Do you need a lawyer?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It would be helpful to have a lawyer, but you don’t need one. You just have to fill out the \u003ca href=\"https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/pge/EPOC-Index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">form\u003c/a>.\u003cbr>\n[aside tag='pge' label='More Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>And what’s involved in filling out the form?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>When you \u003ca href=\"https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/pge/EPOC-Index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fill out the form\u003c/a>, you’re saying, “This is how much I estimate that PG&E owns owes me.” You don’t have to come to it through some scientific analysis. You can come up with your own number, so long as you have a basis for it. It can be useful to put something on the form saying “see attached” and then to write a narrative description of what you think your claims are and what you think you’re owed.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Is PG&E obliged to pay on claims filed?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>PG&E is not obligated to pay you just because you file a form. But it’s kind of like you’re signing your ticket to be part of the process. And if you don’t sign up to be part of the process by filing a claim form, then you’re not going to get anything out of the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, any claim that you might have had against PG&E for, let’s say, the 2017 wildfires, will be discharged and go away forever. So you really need to file a form if you think PG&E somehow owes you money.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What advice do you have on picking an amount of money to claim?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It’s fine to start with a high number. And if PG&E thinks that number is too high, you’ll have a process with them where they’ll go back and forth with you about what they think you’re actually owed. And for that, it can be helpful to have a lawyer. But right now, you don’t need a lawyer at all. You just need to fill out the form. And you should probably estimate the highest number that you think is reasonable based on the damages you sustained.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What has PG&E done to let people know that this deadline is coming?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There’s no question that PG&E has run the most comprehensive and ambitious public publicity campaign in Chapter 11 history. They’ve been running online ads. They’ve been running radio ads. They’ve been on TV. They’ve been in newspapers. They’ve been absolutely everywhere. I mean, I received a letter in the mail, and I just live in the Bay Area. I have no claim against them. So they’ve really done a lot in terms of getting that out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>We hear that tens of thousands of people with eligible claims might not have filed as the deadline approaches. Why do you think that is?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>I think what we’re starting to realize is that maybe people still don’t quite understand what the claims process is and what they need to do to be involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Wildfire survivors can file their claims \u003ca href=\"https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/pge/EPOC-Index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Drugmakers fought hard against California’s groundbreaking drug price transparency law, passed in 2017. Now, state health officials have released their \u003ca href=\"https://oshpd.ca.gov/visualizations/prescription-drug-wholesale-acquisition-cost-increases/\">first report\u003c/a> on the price hikes those drug companies sought to shield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pharmaceutical companies raised the “wholesale acquisition cost” of their drugs — the list price for wholesalers without discounts or rebates — by a median of 25.8% from 2017 through the first quarter of 2019, according to the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development. (The median is a value at the midpoint of data distribution.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generic drugs saw the largest median increase of 37.6% during that time. By comparison, the annual inflation rate during the period was 2%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside link1=\"https://www.kqed.org/stateofhealth/223329/drug-price-transparency-laws-may-not-drive-down-spiraling-costs-for-consumers,Drug Price Transparency Laws May Not Drive Down Spiraling Costs for Consumers\" link2=\"https://www.kqed.org/stateofhealth/361263/other-states-closely-watching-fate-of-californias-drug-price-transparency-bill,Other States Closely Watching Fate of California Drug Price Transparency Bill\" label=\"Drug Price Transparency\"]Several drugs stood out for far heftier price increases: The cost of a generic liquid version of Prozac, for example, rose from $9 to $69 in just the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 667%. Guanfacine, a generic medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), on the market since 2010, rose more than 200% in the first quarter of 2019 to $87 for 100 2-milligram pills. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, which makes Guanfacine, cited “manufacturing costs” and “market conditions” as reasons for the price hike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even at a time when there is a microscope on this industry, they’re going ahead with drug price increases for hundreds of drugs well above the rate of inflation,” said Anthony Wright, executive director of the California advocacy group Health Access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The national debate over exorbitant prescription drug prices — and how to relieve them — was supposed to take center stage in recent weeks, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi released \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11775310/pelosi-unveils-plan-to-lower-prescription-drug-costs-a-rare-priority-shared-with-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a plan\u003c/a> to negotiate prices for as many as 250 name-brand drugs, including high-priced insulin, for Medicare beneficiaries. Another \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/23/key-senate-panel-unveils-bipartisan-bill-to-lower-drug-prices-for-seniors.html\">plan\u003c/a> under consideration in the Senate would set a maximum out-of-pocket cost for prescription drugs for Medicare patients and penalize drug companies if prices rose faster than inflation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump has also highlighted drug prices as an issue in his reelection campaign. But lawmakers’ efforts to hammer out legislation are likely to be overshadowed, for now, by presidential impeachment proceedings. In Nevada, health officials in early October \u003ca href=\"https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/nevada-levies-17-million-in-fines-on-drug-companies-for-noncompliance-with-diabetes-drug-transparency-law\">fined companies $17 million\u003c/a> for failing to comply with the state’s 2-year-old transparency law requiring diabetes drug manufacturers to disclose detailed financial and pricing information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s new drug law requires companies to report drug price increases quarterly. Only companies that met certain standards — they raised the price of a drug within the first quarter and the price had risen by at least 16% since January 2017 — had to submit data. The companies that met the standards were required to provide pricing data for the previous five years.

Guanfacine, a generic medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), on the market since 2010, rose more than 200% in the first quarter of 2019 to $87 for 100 2-milligram pills. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, which makes Guanfacine, cited “manufacturing costs” and “market conditions” as reasons for the price hike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even at a time when there is a microscope on this industry, they’re going ahead with drug price increases for hundreds of drugs well above the rate of inflation,” said Anthony Wright, executive director of the California advocacy group Health Access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The national debate over exorbitant prescription drug prices — and how to relieve them — was supposed to take center stage in recent weeks, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi released \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11775310/pelosi-unveils-plan-to-lower-prescription-drug-costs-a-rare-priority-shared-with-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a plan\u003c/a> to negotiate prices for as many as 250 name-brand drugs, including high-priced insulin, for Medicare beneficiaries. Another \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/23/key-senate-panel-unveils-bipartisan-bill-to-lower-drug-prices-for-seniors.html\">plan\u003c/a> under consideration in the Senate would set a maximum out-of-pocket cost for prescription drugs for Medicare patients and penalize drug companies if prices rose faster than inflation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump has also highlighted drug prices as an issue in his reelection campaign. But lawmakers’ efforts to hammer out legislation are likely to be overshadowed, for now, by presidential impeachment proceedings. In Nevada, health officials in early October \u003ca href=\"https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/nevada-levies-17-million-in-fines-on-drug-companies-for-noncompliance-with-diabetes-drug-transparency-law\">fined companies $17 million\u003c/a> for failing to comply with the state’s 2-year-old transparency law requiring diabetes drug manufacturers to disclose detailed financial and pricing information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s new drug law requires companies to report drug price increases quarterly. Only companies that met certain standards — they raised the price of a drug within the first quarter and the price had risen by at least 16% since January 2017 — had to submit data. The companies that met the standards were required to provide pricing data for the previous five years. In its initial report, the state focused its analysis on drug-pricing trends for about 1,000 products from January 2017 through March 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She struggled with addiction and had several felonies on her record, which cut her off from various state and government-funded housing options. She also had a hard time holding a job — once her background check came back, she would be let go, time and again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harraway, who is black, has since found permanent housing, earned her high school diploma and sobriety.

And race discrimination by landlords or by the corrections system, those all combine to lead to these vary disparate rates of homelessness.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new homeless census carried out nationally shows that black people are greatly overrepresented in the homeless population across the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Monterey County, the percentage of black or African American people who are homeless is more than seven times higher than the county’s black population. It is nearly six times higher at the state level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While only 3.5% of people living in Monterey County identify as “black or African American,” 25% of the county’s homeless population identifies as such, according to the homeless census, also known as the Point-in-Time Count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And across the state, the U.S. Census shows about 6.5% of Californians identify as black or African American, but they account for nearly 40% of the state’s homeless, according to a Department of Housing and Urban Development report to Congress. Nationally, black people account for 13.4% of the population but are 39.8% of the homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A September report from Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) indicates institutional racism plays a large role in the extreme over-representation of homelessness of all people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Black people are more likely than white people to experience homelessness in the United States, including in Los Angeles County,” the report says. “… The impact of institutional and structural racism in education, criminal justice, housing, employment, health care and access to opportunities cannot be denied: Homelessness is a by-product of racism in America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/BLACK-HOMELESS-graphic-800x378.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"378\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11778748\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/BLACK-HOMELESS-graphic-800x378.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/BLACK-HOMELESS-graphic-160x76.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/BLACK-HOMELESS-graphic-1020x482.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/BLACK-HOMELESS-graphic.jpg 1164w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Monterey County, estimates from the homeless census show the black homeless rate more than doubled from 2017-2019, growing from 12% of the population to 25% in that time. The numbers surprised local officials, some suggesting the count might have been at fault, as it is an imperfect snapshot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is carried out in the dark, of a population that does not want to be seen,” said Elliott Robinson, interim executive director of the nonprofit Coalition of Homeless Service Providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furthermore, the count is often carried out as unobtrusively as possible, meaning census takers, most of whom are volunteers, may guess at the race or ethnicity of homeless people so as not to wake or frighten them, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in that same amount of time, Los Angeles County showed a large growth in its black homeless population as well, increasing 22%.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Prison Reform and Homelessness\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Steve Berg, vice president of programs and policy for the National Alliance to End Homelessness, suggested that California’s prison reform efforts might be another factor in the increased percentage of black homeless people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thousands of people have been released from prison in California since 2008 as the state pursued aggressive policies to relieve overcrowding and handle punishment and rehabilitation outside prison walls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Homelessness\" tag=\"homelessness\"]According to an April report by the Pew Research Center, while the percentage of black people sentenced to prison has decreased in number in recent years, it is still disproportionately high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, white people accounted for 64% of adults in the U.S. but only for 30% of prisoners, and while Hispanics represented 16% of the adult population, they accounted for 23% of inmates. Accounting for only 12% of the adult population, black people are 33% of the sentenced prison population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Coming out of corrections is a huge risk factor for homelessness,” Berg said. “That creates a sort of bounceback effect. People who come out of prison and become homeless are far more likely to go back to prison than people who come out of prison and don’t become homeless. The large racial disparities in the corrections system are both a cause and effect of disparities in homelessness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harraway was arrested at least a dozen times, most often related to drugs, and cycled in and out of the prison system, which she said was common among the homeless residents of Chinatown. She connected with Community Homeless Solutions and entered its Women in Transition program, after which she found permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the state’s prison reform efforts, the rate of successful parole applications has jumped from a few out of every 100 to almost one in six.

The foundation selected Stockton, a city once labeled America’s foreclosure capital, as a guinea pig because of its diverse racial and economic profile, said project co-founder Natalie Foster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It really looks like America,\" she said. \"It’s a city that’s reinventing itself, that’s pulling out of that bankruptcy, and leaning into its pluralistic community to build what’s next.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Astronomical Costs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Jovan Bravo, one of 125 Stockton residents receiving $500 a month, on the impact of the pilot project\"]'It's made me a lot happier.

It’s a big relief.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The universal income concept has been bubbling up in national politics, with Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang promising $1,000 a month to every American regardless of income level, and fellow Democratic candidate Kamala Harris pushing for roughly $6,000 a year in refundable tax credits to lower-income Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts say the costs of implementing basic income on a large scale would be astronomical. A recent report from UC Berkeley estimated that giving every American $1,000 a month would cost roughly $3 trillion per year, or 75% of total current federal spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even eliminating Medicaid, Social Security income and other staples of the current safety net system wouldn’t even out that deficit, said economist and report author Jesse Rothstein. Although the monthly stipend would give individuals more control over how they receive and spend aid, it wouldn’t be robust enough to cover basic expenses, Rothstein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that would amount to is really dramatically reducing the standard of living of the elderly and disabled in order to finance a transfer to prime-age, healthy people,” he said. “There’s no way that an elderly person is going to be able to buy decent health insurance on the private market with that $1,000 a month UBI [Universal Basic Income] and still be able to have any money left over for anything else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many supporters say basic income should be an addition to the current safety net, not a replacement for it. There’s also the question of whether a cash giveaway dissuades people from working. Some see it as a handout for the working poor, while others say it's a cushion for those who choose not to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody’s talking about a program with the same name, but they have different ideas about what it would look like,” Rothstein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Breathing Room\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In Stockton, the $500 allowance is giving Jovan Bravo a little breathing room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He usually works 68 hours a week — including regular Saturday shifts — to support his family. Since the stipend started coming in, he’s been able to work a little less without stressing about paying the bills. That means more time with his wife and his three kids, ages 13, 9 and 4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he’s also been able to cover some extracurriculars for them, such as basketball camp and gymnastics class. He worries that without activities to keep them busy, they could be exposed to crime when they get older. Bravo, 31, was arrested on drug and weapon charges in his early 20s but said he’s determined to put his kids on a better path.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I always hold my kids to a higher standard than what I was held to,\" he said. \"I want them to be like their mother, go to college, get their master's, get a good paying job and not have to work as many hours as me.

It’s not like they’re sitting on their hands. And we haven’t seen a single high-rise tower break ground in nearly two years,” Liccardo said. “So we’ve got a market that is telling us simply that it’s not viable to move forward unless we do something to reduce the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, several council members balked in the face of criticism from people like Louise Auerhahn, director of Economic and Workforce Policy with \u003ca href=\"https://www.wpusa.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Working Partnerships San Jose\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every single time, we’re promised this is the last time. Well, now it’s 2019. We’ve had this temporary subsidy for well over a decade, and while we’ve been running this experiment, has this model worked to produce affordable housing? No!” Auerhahn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote followed the most contentious reassessment of the incentives in more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose officials first approved the Downtown High Rise Incentive Program before the Great Recession brought development to a screeching halt in late 2007. Since then, the City Council has extended the program both in terms of dates and benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it stood, the incentive package included a 50%-off discount on park impact fees, as well as two primary construction taxes, and delays payment of those construction fees until the development has tenants in place renting units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More controversially, downtown developers also get a break on a $17-a-square-foot affordable housing impact fee, if they meet certain criteria designed to spur construction sooner rather than later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City staff calculate that the program can be credited with adding 1,522 units since it began, and an additional 1,043 units in the pipeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>That was then, this is now\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the last two years, Google has launched an expansion on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101868581/san-jose-city-council-set-to-approve-google-campus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">massive scale\u003c/a> near Diridon Station downtown, fueling a local real estate gold rush in a neighborhood that has struggled for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The local chamber of commerce argued this is no time to end the party by allowing construction incentives to lapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='housing' label='More Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of these cranes are here specifically because of the fee reduction program. In the absence of it, the investor risk, the volatility of the markets, actually make it very difficult for these high-rises to pencil out,” said Eddie Truong, director of government and community relations for the\u003ca href=\"https://www.thesvo.com/team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Silicon Valley Organization\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truong added, “Most people think builders in general have a very large cash reserve to invest in residential high-rises. If you can’t demonstrate with a business plan that you can get a reasonable return on investment, you’re not going to get investor funding or lender financing from the capital markets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Construction, land and labor costs have been rising in San Jose and sky high rents appear to have hit a ceiling, limiting that potential return on investment. Development costs for high-rise apartments average $651,000 per unit, according to city staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An \u003ca href=\"https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2019/09/19/guest-viewpoint-high-stakes-for-san-joses-high.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opinion piece\u003c/a> published by Silicon Valley Organization’s President & CEO Matthew Mahood argues that developers have to promise at least a 5% profit to secure lender financing. As it happens, a project feasibility study referenced in the agenda item before the San Jose City Council argues the same — that high-rise developments in the downtown core are not generally feasible without the current fee reduction program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liccardo was solidly behind extending the incentives. In a statement released last week, he argued that “Exceedingly high construction costs will prevent any residential builder from getting the financing to build a high-rise in Downtown for several years—despite a housing crisis that screams for more housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement added, “Either reduce fees and get housing built, or we sit on our hands and hope for some miracle to solve this housing crisis for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11775797\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11775797 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS15476_IMG_0887-qut-1920x1440.jpg\" alt=\"One South Market is one of the newest additions to San Jose's downtown skyline.
