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.",

The study found that current residents of those neighborhoods are more than twice as likely as their peers to visit emergency rooms for asthma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What it suggests is that real estate policy that was enacted over 80 years ago, enforced in part on the basis of race, both shaped our neighborhoods and may still be impacting respiratory health outcomes today,” said Anthony Nardone, a medical student in the UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program, who led the analysis. “It’s the first study, to our knowledge, that actually assesses the relationship between historic residential redlining and current health outcomes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nardone used \u003ca href=\"https://dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/redlining/#loc=3/38.07/-97.29&opacity=0.8&text=about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">historic redlining maps\u003c/a> to identify census tracts in San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno, Los Angeles and San Diego that government officials had once identified as “high risk” (red) and “low risk” (green) neighborhoods in terms of loan security. He then compared current air quality and health outcome data from each of those tracts, using the \u003ca href=\"https://oehha.ca.gov/calenviroscreen/report/calenviroscreen-30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CalEnviroScreen 3.0\u003c/a> database, and found that current residents in the redlined communities — those considered “high risk” — visited the emergency room for asthma-related complaints 2.4 times more often than those in nearby “low risk” neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11749449\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11749449 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma-160x80.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma-800x400.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma-1020x510.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The map on the right shows census tracts in the cities of San Francisco and Oakland categorized according to their Home Owners’ Loan Corp. rating, with green indicating ‘best,’ blue indicating ‘still desirable,’ yellow indicating ‘definitely declining,’ and red indicating ‘hazardous.’ The map on the right shows the rate of asthma-related emergency room visits per 10,000 residents for those same census tracts. \u003ccite>(Anthony Nardone/UC Berkeley)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That asthma-health disparity is driven in part by excessive exposure to ambient air pollution, said Nardone, noting that historically redlined neighborhoods often have significantly higher levels of diesel particulate matter in the air. But that’s not the only factor at play, he added, citing generational poverty and elevated levels of “psychosocial stress” caused by everything from living in environments with higher crime rates to a lack of access to decent, affordable health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redlining started as official government policy during the Great Depression. The Home Owners’ Loan Corp. (HOLC), established by Congress in 1933 as part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, was intended to help stem the urban foreclosure crisis sweeping the country. The government-sponsored agency refinanced more than a million homes, issuing low-interest, long-term loans to scores of new homeowners across the nation and spurring a dramatic increase in home ownership in the following decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But only for some.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To identify neighborhoods deemed safe investments, HOLC gathered reams of local data to draw up “residential safety maps” in some 240 cities across the country. Neighborhoods were classified into one of four categories based on “favorable” and “detrimental” influences, including “threat of infiltration of foreign-born, negro, or lower grade population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These designations were for decades used to deny home loans and other forms of investment to these communities, stunting generational wealth and furthering racial segregation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Though these discriminatory lending practices are now illegal, and gentrification has affected the demographics of some redlined neighborhoods, they remain largely low income and have a higher proportion of black and Hispanic populations than non-redlined communities,” Nardone said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/palette-400x273.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-11749441\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/palette-400x273.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"278\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/palette-400x273.png 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/palette-400x273-160x109.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Private banks quickly adopted the government’s identification system, commonly denying home loans to residents in neighborhoods considered risky. The color coding of maps became a verb: to redline a community was to mark it as undesirable and not worthy of investment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although officially prohibited by the \u003ca href=\"http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/progdesc/title8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fair Housing Act\u003c/a> of 1968, the practice of neighborhood delineation based on race and class had a lasting impact, depriving certain neighborhoods of essential resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our study shows that, even though a policy gets eliminated or is recognized to be a poor choice, its effect can have impacts even many decades later,” said Neeta Thakur, an assistant professor of medicine at UCSF and Nardone’s adviser. “We need to use that information to help us inform our current policies and thinking about what potential ramifications are down the road.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More subtle forms of redlining continue, however, as evidenced by recent discriminatory loan practice \u003ca href=\"http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/press/press_releases_media_advisories/2015/HUDNo_15-064b\" target=\"_blank\"

The study found that current residents of those neighborhoods are more than twice as likely as their peers to visit emergency rooms for asthma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What it suggests is that real estate policy that was enacted over 80 years ago, enforced in part on the basis of race, both shaped our neighborhoods and may still be impacting respiratory health outcomes today,” said Anthony Nardone, a medical student in the UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program, who led the analysis. “It’s the first study, to our knowledge, that actually assesses the relationship between historic residential redlining and current health outcomes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nardone used \u003ca href=\"https://dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/redlining/#loc=3/38.07/-97.29&opacity=0.8&text=about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">historic redlining maps\u003c/a> to identify census tracts in San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno, Los Angeles and San Diego that government officials had once identified as “high risk” (red) and “low risk” (green) neighborhoods in terms of loan security. He then compared current air quality and health outcome data from each of those tracts, using the \u003ca href=\"https://oehha.ca.gov/calenviroscreen/report/calenviroscreen-30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CalEnviroScreen 3.0\u003c/a> database, and found that current residents in the redlined communities — those considered “high risk” — visited the emergency room for asthma-related complaints 2.4 times more often than those in nearby “low risk” neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11749449\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11749449 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma-160x80.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma-800x400.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma-1020x510.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The map on the right shows census tracts in the cities of San Francisco and Oakland categorized according to their Home Owners’ Loan Corp. rating, with green indicating ‘best,’ blue indicating ‘still desirable,’ yellow indicating ‘definitely declining,’ and red indicating ‘hazardous.’ The map on the right shows the rate of asthma-related emergency room visits per 10,000 residents for those same census tracts. \u003ccite>(Anthony Nardone/UC Berkeley)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That asthma-health disparity is driven in part by excessive exposure to ambient air pollution, said Nardone, noting that historically redlined neighborhoods often have significantly higher levels of diesel particulate matter in the air. But that’s not the only factor at play, he added, citing generational poverty and elevated levels of “psychosocial stress” caused by everything from living in environments with higher crime rates to a lack of access to decent, affordable health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redlining started as official government policy during the Great Depression. The Home Owners’ Loan Corp. (HOLC), established by Congress in 1933 as part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, was intended to help stem the urban foreclosure crisis sweeping the country. The government-sponsored agency refinanced more than a million homes, issuing low-interest, long-term loans to scores of new homeowners across the nation and spurring a dramatic increase in home ownership in the following decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But only for some.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To identify neighborhoods deemed safe investments, HOLC gathered reams of local data to draw up “residential safety maps” in some 240 cities across the country. Neighborhoods were classified into one of four categories based on “favorable” and “detrimental” influences, including “threat of infiltration of foreign-born, negro, or lower grade population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These designations were for decades used to deny home loans and other forms of investment to these communities, stunting generational wealth and furthering racial segregation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Though these discriminatory lending practices are now illegal, and gentrification has affected the demographics of some redlined neighborhoods, they remain largely low income and have a higher proportion of black and Hispanic populations than non-redlined communities,” Nardone said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/palette-400x273.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-11749441\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/palette-400x273.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"278\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/palette-400x273.png 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/palette-400x273-160x109.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Private banks quickly adopted the government’s identification system, commonly denying home loans to residents in neighborhoods considered risky. The color coding of maps became a verb: to redline a community was to mark it as undesirable and not worthy of investment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although officially prohibited by the \u003ca href=\"http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/progdesc/title8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fair Housing Act\u003c/a> of 1968, the practice of neighborhood delineation based on race and class had a lasting impact, depriving certain neighborhoods of essential resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our study shows that, even though a policy gets eliminated or is recognized to be a poor choice, its effect can have impacts even many decades later,” said Neeta Thakur, an assistant professor of medicine at UCSF and Nardone’s adviser. “We need to use that information to help us inform our current policies and thinking about what potential ramifications are down the road.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More subtle forms of redlining continue, however, as evidenced by recent discriminatory loan practice \u003ca href=\"http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/press/press_releases_media_advisories/2015/HUDNo_15-064b\" target=\"_blank\"

It's one of the premiere comedy clubs in all the country,\" comedian Dave Chappelle told a crowd of about 50 people. \"When I quit my show that room became like a home to me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For me personally, it’s like a cultural epicenter of the city,\" Chappelle told KQED. \"Every comedy community needs a place like the Punch Line.

Speakers at the rally were quick to point out that it is not a situation of a cash-strapped small business being pushed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re here to tell the story of a group of scrappy Postmates drivers with no health insurance who are also comedians trying to save a club that's owned by a big corporation from displacement by an even bigger corporation,\" said comedian and rally organizer Nato Green. \"Thats the story of San Francisco in 2019.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speculation has grown that the building owners are likely to lease the space to Google once Punch Line's lease ends in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re losing the culture of the city and this is one of the things that defines San Francisco.

The first step, taken last Friday, was nominating the club as a legacy business, which would bring financial benefits to Live Nation. Secondly, Peskin — along with Supervisors Hillary Ronen, Sandra Lee Fewer and Ahsha Safaí — plan to introduce an \"interim zoning moratorium\" at the June 4 Board of Supervisors meeting that would prevent the building from being rezoned to any use other than entertainment purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/HillaryRonen/status/1130930237066190848\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lastly, Peskin said the city is \"trying to have reasonable conversations with Morgan Stanley\" and that they'd \"like to do this with honey and not vinegar.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without adding any specific details, Peskin also pleaded directly to the much-speculated future tenant of the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want to say to Google: 'Really, really do no evil.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For rally organizer Green and his fellow comedians, the importance of saving Punch Line is obvious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need the Punch Line to have a local comedy scene,\" Green said. \"The Punch Line has been a birthplace for comedians for generations, for 40 years, generation after generation ...

The Trump administration is now attempting to reverse some of those limitations, even as progressives in Congress \u003ca href=\"https://theintercept.com/2019/05/09/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-bernie-sanders-bank-legislation/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">push\u003c/a> for tighter rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maeve Elise Brown, executive director of Housing and Economic Rights Advocates, a legal-aid provider in Oakland, has seen a four-year increase in the number of clients staggering under larger-than-needed loans with triple-digit interest rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People don’t realize how disastrous it’s going to be,” she said. “Most people are not that great at math.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry’s argument: If someone decides to take out a particular loan, the state shouldn’t get in the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a misunderstanding of who the average borrower is,” said Roger Salazar, spokesman for Californians for Credit Access, a coalition of small-loan lenders. “They’re working folks who are smart and understand what the product is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a state Assembly committee hearing last month, some borrowers spoke against Limón’s bill, arguing that high-cost loans, though expensive, helped them weather difficult financial times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But other borrowers report being stunned by the steep cost of their loans. Muntasir from Richmond said that she cried when she realized the total amount she would be expected to pay (she eventually defaulted). Even for those who understand the terms, the math of compound interest can be deceiving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angela Garcia, a 35-year-old single mother from South Gate in southeast Los Angeles, recalls the feeling of throwing hundreds of dollars, month after month, at a problem that never quite seemed to get smaller. She called it a “nightmare.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia, who now works as a medical assistant at Kaiser Permanente, said she was unemployed when she took out her car title loan. She had six kids. Gas prices were high. Christmas was coming. Credit seemed like the only option — and it was ubiquitous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everywhere you drive you see these freaking signs: ‘Get a loan,’ ‘Get a loan,’ ‘Get a loan,” she said. “It sounds great. It sounds like, ‘well, shoot, if they’re willing to help me, why not?’ But no. It’s not. They’re not helping you at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, Garcia borrowed $3,200 from LoanMart. She remembers sitting in her kitchen one morning when she heard the sound of jangling chains on the street. She said she raced outside to grab her toddler’s car seat before her Chevy Suburban was towed away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia said she remembers spending hundreds each month, but doesn’t recall the loan’s exact percentage rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/229fba0d-20d2-42cb-a048-aea188605ca3?src=embed\" title=\"Where the money goes\" width=\"550\" height=\"1633\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not uncommon, said Rosie Papazian, who manages the personal finance program at New Economics for Women, a Los Angeles non-profit. Many clients are reluctant to dig into the details of their own financial situation, either out of shame or a lack of understanding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They think, ‘Gosh, it’s been three years and I’m still paying off this loan and I don’t really know why.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A third of high-cost loans end in default, according to one legislative analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates say there would be fewer defaults — which can trash a borrower’s credit score even as collections agencies continue to seek repayment — if only lenders offered lower rates. Lenders counter that so many of their borrowers fail to pay back the loans because they are, by definition, in dire financial straits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody wants to run a lending operation that has a high number of defaults,” said Salazar. But “it’s a risky customer base,” she noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if roughly 40% of customers are defaulting — as is the case with CashCall, according to court \u003ca href=\"https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.204763.170.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">documents\u003c/a> from an ongoing class-action lawsuit against the lender — the remaining 60% are using the product “effectively,” said Jackson of the Online Lenders Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that the proposed rate cap would make it impossible for her members to lend to the most financially desperate customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People find ways to work around some prohibition. Look at what happened when we banned alcohol,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One 2016 \u003ca href=\"https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/686033\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study\u003c/a> found that states where payday loan restrictions went into effect saw a 60 percent increase in pawnshop loans, which are typically more expensive. Another \u003ca href=\"https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1032621\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study\u003c/a> found more bounced checks, more complaints of abusive lending, more bankruptcy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tatiana Homonoff, a New York University professor and an author of the 2016 study, said the response to a bill like Limón’s could be different, since payday loans are smaller and have a wider array of substitutes. But it’s important to think through the consequences, she said: “When these loans aren’t available, what do people do instead?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how state Sen. Ben Hueso, a moderate Democrat from San Diego County who opposes a rate cap, framed the dilemma:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What do I prefer?” he said. “That we have people that are defaulting on loans? Or people that are getting their knees broken?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone agrees that lenders need to charge triple-digit interest rates to serve low-income borrowers. That includes some lenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Limón’s bill were to become law “collectively we will be able to serve those consumers,” said Ezra Garrett, a vice president at Oportun, one of the more than a dozen lenders in California who offer consumer loans between $300 and $2,500, subjecting themselves to the state’s tight-interest caps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But high-cost lenders argue the Oportuns of the state would not be able to profitably serve the state’s riskiest borrowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, two state rate-cap bills \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/predatory-payday-lending-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">failed\u003c/a> — stymied by a coalition of Republicans and business-friendly Democrats. But the political climate has shifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last August, the state Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://law.justia.com/cases/california/supreme-court/2018/s241434.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">raised\u003c/a> new questions about the legality of high-cost loans — without specifying what interest threshold would be too much. There’s also some anxiety over a potential ballot fight, which Garrett called the “sledgehammer approach.” The prospect of unending litigation or voter-imposed mandates has pushed more lenders, including OneMain Financial and Lendmark Financial Services, to back Limón’s bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the first quarter of this year, lenders opposed to the bill have outspent those in favor on lobbying by more than 3-to-1. But for now, the political odds may have tilted in the bill’s favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon has called such loans “salt water in the desert —a thirsty person will drink it, but they will not be better off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With so much support in the Assembly, lobbyists on both sides are preparing for the real fight in the Senate, where moderate Democrats skeptical of the proposal are well represented in the Banking and Finance Committee. Tom Dresslar, a retired deputy commissioner at the Department of Business Oversight, called that committee “the industry’s last best hope to preserve this system of exploitation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Trump administration is now attempting to reverse some of those limitations, even as progressives in Congress \u003ca href=\"https://theintercept.com/2019/05/09/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-bernie-sanders-bank-legislation/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">push\u003c/a> for tighter rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maeve Elise Brown, executive director of Housing and Economic Rights Advocates, a legal-aid provider in Oakland, has seen a four-year increase in the number of clients staggering under larger-than-needed loans with triple-digit interest rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People don’t realize how disastrous it’s going to be,” she said. “Most people are not that great at math.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry’s argument: If someone decides to take out a particular loan, the state shouldn’t get in the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a misunderstanding of who the average borrower is,” said Roger Salazar, spokesman for Californians for Credit Access, a coalition of small-loan lenders. “They’re working folks who are smart and understand what the product is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a state Assembly committee hearing last month, some borrowers spoke against Limón’s bill, arguing that high-cost loans, though expensive, helped them weather difficult financial times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But other borrowers report being stunned by the steep cost of their loans. Muntasir from Richmond said that she cried when she realized the total amount she would be expected to pay (she eventually defaulted). Even for those who understand the terms, the math of compound interest can be deceiving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angela Garcia, a 35-year-old single mother from South Gate in southeast Los Angeles, recalls the feeling of throwing hundreds of dollars, month after month, at a problem that never quite seemed to get smaller. She called it a “nightmare.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia, who now works as a medical assistant at Kaiser Permanente, said she was unemployed when she took out her car title loan. She had six kids. Gas prices were high. Christmas was coming. Credit seemed like the only option — and it was ubiquitous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everywhere you drive you see these freaking signs: ‘Get a loan,’ ‘Get a loan,’ ‘Get a loan,” she said. “It sounds great. It sounds like, ‘well, shoot, if they’re willing to help me, why not?’ But no. It’s not. They’re not helping you at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, Garcia borrowed $3,200 from LoanMart. She remembers sitting in her kitchen one morning when she heard the sound of jangling chains on the street. She said she raced outside to grab her toddler’s car seat before her Chevy Suburban was towed away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia said she remembers spending hundreds each month, but doesn’t recall the loan’s exact percentage rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/229fba0d-20d2-42cb-a048-aea188605ca3?src=embed\" title=\"Where the money goes\" width=\"550\" height=\"1633\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not uncommon, said Rosie Papazian, who manages the personal finance program at New Economics for Women, a Los Angeles non-profit. Many clients are reluctant to dig into the details of their own financial situation, either out of shame or a lack of understanding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They think, ‘Gosh, it’s been three years and I’m still paying off this loan and I don’t really know why.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A third of high-cost loans end in default, according to one legislative analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates say there would be fewer defaults — which can trash a borrower’s credit score even as collections agencies continue to seek repayment — if only lenders offered lower rates. Lenders counter that so many of their borrowers fail to pay back the loans because they are, by definition, in dire financial straits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody wants to run a lending operation that has a high number of defaults,” said Salazar. But “it’s a risky customer base,” she noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if roughly 40% of customers are defaulting — as is the case with CashCall, according to court \u003ca href=\"https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.204763.170.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">documents\u003c/a> from an ongoing class-action lawsuit against the lender — the remaining 60% are using the product “effectively,” said Jackson of the Online Lenders Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that the proposed rate cap would make it impossible for her members to lend to the most financially desperate customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People find ways to work around some prohibition. Look at what happened when we banned alcohol,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One 2016 \u003ca href=\"https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/686033\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study\u003c/a> found that states where payday loan restrictions went into effect saw a 60 percent increase in pawnshop loans, which are typically more expensive. Another \u003ca href=\"https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1032621\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study\u003c/a> found more bounced checks, more complaints of abusive lending, more bankruptcy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tatiana Homonoff, a New York University professor and an author of the 2016 study, said the response to a bill like Limón’s could be different, since payday loans are smaller and have a wider array of substitutes. But it’s important to think through the consequences, she said: “When these loans aren’t available, what do people do instead?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how state Sen. Ben Hueso, a moderate Democrat from San Diego County who opposes a rate cap, framed the dilemma:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What do I prefer?” he said. “That we have people that are defaulting on loans? Or people that are getting their knees broken?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone agrees that lenders need to charge triple-digit interest rates to serve low-income borrowers. That includes some lenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Limón’s bill were to become law “collectively we will be able to serve those consumers,” said Ezra Garrett, a vice president at Oportun, one of the more than a dozen lenders in California who offer consumer loans between $300 and $2,500, subjecting themselves to the state’s tight-interest caps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But high-cost lenders argue the Oportuns of the state would not be able to profitably serve the state’s riskiest borrowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, two state rate-cap bills \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/predatory-payday-lending-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">failed\u003c/a> — stymied by a coalition of Republicans and business-friendly Democrats. But the political climate has shifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last August, the state Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://law.justia.com/cases/california/supreme-court/2018/s241434.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">raised\u003c/a> new questions about the legality of high-cost loans — without specifying what interest threshold would be too much. There’s also some anxiety over a potential ballot fight, which Garrett called the “sledgehammer approach.” The prospect of unending litigation or voter-imposed mandates has pushed more lenders, including OneMain Financial and Lendmark Financial Services, to back Limón’s bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the first quarter of this year, lenders opposed to the bill have outspent those in favor on lobbying by more than 3-to-1. But for now, the political odds may have tilted in the bill’s favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon has called such loans “salt water in the desert —a thirsty person will drink it, but they will not be better off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With so much support in the Assembly, lobbyists on both sides are preparing for the real fight in the Senate, where moderate Democrats skeptical of the proposal are well represented in the Banking and Finance Committee. Tom Dresslar, a retired deputy commissioner at the Department of Business Oversight, called that committee “the industry’s last best hope to preserve this system of exploitation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that a major antitrust lawsuit against Apple over its App Store can move forward. The 5-to-4 ruling immediately plunged Apple's stock prices and opened the door to the possibility of enormous future damages against the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Brett Kavanaugh, appointed by President Trump last year, wrote the decision for himself and the court's four liberal justices. In it, he stressed that the court majority was taking no position on the merits of the lawsuit but said that under long-standing precedent the suit could proceed to its next stages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Apple Coverage\" tag=\"apple\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit was brought against Apple by four iPhone users, who claimed that Apple was monopolizing the retail market for the sale of apps and using that monopoly to force higher-than-competitive charges for its apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The theory of the lawsuit is that Apple's 30% commission charge to app developers is often passed on to consumers — creating a higher-than-competitive price — and that competitors are shut out because Apple prevents iPhone owners from buying apps anywhere other than its App Store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple sought to block the lawsuit, asserting that it had not set the prices on the apps and thus the iPhone owners had no standing to sue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Apple, and on Monday the Supreme Court agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ever since Congress overwhelmingly passed and President Benjamin Harrison signed the Sherman Act in 1890, 'protecting consumers from monopoly prices' has been 'the central concern of antitrust,' \" Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, \"The consumers here purchased apps directly from Apple, and they allege that Apple used its monopoly power over the retail apps market to charge higher-than-competitive prices.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh's opinion was joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor. The dissent was written by Trump's other appointee to the high court, Justice Neil Gorsuch. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gorsuch's opinion was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.

In response to complaints that Beijing is saddling some countries with too much debt, the government has written off some loans and renegotiated contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tariff war was sparked by years of yawning U.S. trade deficits with China and by complaints — by the Trump administration and many independent trade experts — that Beijing was engaging in predatory and illicit practices, including the theft of technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first U.S. penalties targeted high-tech Chinese goods that American officials said benefited from improper support from Beijing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its impact spread as President Donald Trump extended tariff increases to Chinese exporters of handbags, furniture and other goods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those higher import taxes heightened the threat of job losses — a political risk for an unelected party that derives its claim to power in no small part from having managed three decades of explosive economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the surface at least, the impact of Friday’s U.S. tariff hike “is relatively modest,” Brian Coulton, chief economist for Fitch Ratings, said in a report. But if Trump proceeds with his threat to extend 25% tariffs to all imports from China, that “would be a much more material threat to China’s growth outlook,” Coulton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Renewed weakening in China would rekindle financial market concerns about global growth risks,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Xi’s personal standing has been hurt by slowing growth and by last year’s decision to eliminate term limits for his office as president, said Zhang Lifang, an independent political commentator in Beijing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think these two things are very stressful for him, both economically and politically,” Zhang said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States and Europe have been increasing the cost and complexity of Chinese acquisition of foreign technology or blocking it outright. In October, the European Union tentatively approved the trade bloc’s first rules on foreign investments in sensitive sectors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That step followed criticism of Chinese purchases of European technology vendors that are considered vital national assets, including German robot maker Kuka. Chinese buyers have also acquired Sweden’s Volvo Cars, Swiss agri-tech supplier Syngenta and IBM Corp.’s low-end server business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the United States, Trump vetoed the 2017 purchase of a chipmaker, Lattice Semiconductor, that was financed by a Chinese government fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreign manufacturers of consumer electronics and other goods already are shifting investments to Southeast Asia to cut costs, thereby hurting demand for Chinese parts suppliers and sapping revenue they would use to develop technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Boardrooms of multinationals, including possibly Chinese companies, might decide they need to have more manufacturing capability outside China to reduce this risk,” Biswas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That shift, accelerated by the pressure from U.S. tariffs, promises a potential windfall for other Asian economies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen has suggested that the U.S.-China tariff war might help her government woo back manufacturers who had moved to the mainland in search of lower costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our goal is to speed up Taiwanese business people’s coming back to rebuild a high added-value supply chain and encourage industries to transform and upgrade themselves,” Tsai said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In response to complaints that Beijing is saddling some countries with too much debt, the government has written off some loans and renegotiated contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tariff war was sparked by years of yawning U.S. trade deficits with China and by complaints — by the Trump administration and many independent trade experts — that Beijing was engaging in predatory and illicit practices, including the theft of technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first U.S. penalties targeted high-tech Chinese goods that American officials said benefited from improper support from Beijing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its impact spread as President Donald Trump extended tariff increases to Chinese exporters of handbags, furniture and other goods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those higher import taxes heightened the threat of job losses — a political risk for an unelected party that derives its claim to power in no small part from having managed three decades of explosive economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the surface at least, the impact of Friday’s U.S. tariff hike “is relatively modest,” Brian Coulton, chief economist for Fitch Ratings, said in a report. But if Trump proceeds with his threat to extend 25% tariffs to all imports from China, that “would be a much more material threat to China’s growth outlook,” Coulton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Renewed weakening in China would rekindle financial market concerns about global growth risks,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Xi’s personal standing has been hurt by slowing growth and by last year’s decision to eliminate term limits for his office as president, said Zhang Lifang, an independent political commentator in Beijing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think these two things are very stressful for him, both economically and politically,” Zhang said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States and Europe have been increasing the cost and complexity of Chinese acquisition of foreign technology or blocking it outright. In October, the European Union tentatively approved the trade bloc’s first rules on foreign investments in sensitive sectors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That step followed criticism of Chinese purchases of European technology vendors that are considered vital national assets, including German robot maker Kuka. Chinese buyers have also acquired Sweden’s Volvo Cars, Swiss agri-tech supplier Syngenta and IBM Corp.’s low-end server business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the United States, Trump vetoed the 2017 purchase of a chipmaker, Lattice Semiconductor, that was financed by a Chinese government fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreign manufacturers of consumer electronics and other goods already are shifting investments to Southeast Asia to cut costs, thereby hurting demand for Chinese parts suppliers and sapping revenue they would use to develop technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Boardrooms of multinationals, including possibly Chinese companies, might decide they need to have more manufacturing capability outside China to reduce this risk,” Biswas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That shift, accelerated by the pressure from U.S. tariffs, promises a potential windfall for other Asian economies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen has suggested that the U.S.-China tariff war might help her government woo back manufacturers who had moved to the mainland in search of lower costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our goal is to speed up Taiwanese business people’s coming back to rebuild a high added-value supply chain and encourage industries to transform and upgrade themselves,” Tsai said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
