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.",

Norm is a carpenter and had taken care of an antique dealer’s house for years. The place was on a scrubby country road on the outskirts of Redding. It had a workshop where Norm did small jobs for other clients, and it had an in-law unit.

All he has left is a drill, which happened to be in his truck when they fled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many who lost homes in these fires, the couple did not have renters insurance. For the first time in their lives they had to ask for help. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Financially we are in a position we haven’t had to be in,” Wendy said, “It’s been very uncomfortable to humble yourself to ask for help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the immediate aftermath of the fire, organizations like the Red Cross, the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation and the Lion’s Club gave them some money for food and clothes.

All their loss has made it hard for them to even think about a long-term plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It strips you from the inside out,” Wendy said, “It doesn’t leave you feeling like you have any value. You don’t have any hope left to go forward. I am a godly woman, so I ask God every day, ‘give me the strength.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fires, like all natural disasters, disproportionately affect those who are low income. They often lack insurance and resources to rebuild or move elsewhere. The effects on families quickly add up for a community. You can see that with all the fires that have hit Shasta and surrounding counties in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/natural-disasters-by-location-rich-leave-and-poor-get-poorer/\">A paper published\u003c/a> in the National Bureau of Economic Research analyzed 90 years of natural disaster data. It found that major catastrophes increase a county’s poverty rate — the percentage of people living below the poverty line — by an average of 1 percent. That’s because disasters encourage those who are well off to leave, and it makes those with low income poorer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a disturbing reality for the counties hit by wildfires this summer.

To the south, in Mendocino, it’s close to 20 percent. Next door in Lake County it’s 25 percent. These counties have been pounded by wildfires since the drought that began in 2011. Take Lake County for instance. Well over half of it has burned since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just this year, the Carr and Mendocino Complex Fires destroyed over 1,300 homes. Many of those who lost their homes may never fully rebound financially. Good jobs and affordable housing are hard to replace in rural Northern California. Losing a home can destabilize a family for years or even generations.

Norm is a carpenter and had taken care of an antique dealer’s house for years. The place was on a scrubby country road on the outskirts of Redding. It had a workshop where Norm did small jobs for other clients, and it had an in-law unit. Two years ago Norm and Wendy moved in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was an ideal setup, one that they thought would carry them into a fairly comfortable retirement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was peaceful and quiet to sit out here in the evening with all the trees and birds and animals,” Wendy said, “We had a good life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a month ago, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/carr-fire/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Carr Fire\u003c/a> forced Norm and Wendy to evacuate.

Her prize: $1,750. The surfer who won the men’s division at the same competition walked away with four times as much prize money: $7,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Valenti, of San Francisco, competes on the shores of Northern California in the famous Mavericks surfing challenge this winter, she’ll be eligible for the same amount of prize money as the men. Why? Because the state of California insisted on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Hollywood, tech and many other industries, the sports world is being forced to confront its historic practice of \u003ca href=\"https://sportsmanagement.adelphi.edu/resources/infographics/a-look-at-male-and-female-professional-athlete-salaries/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paying women less than men\u003c/a>. Though the ranks of female athletes have grown dramatically since 1972, when federal law, through Title IX, began prohibiting gender discrimination in schools and colleges, pay gaps remain huge in most sports. Basketball and golf have struggled for years with pay equity issues, and female players have \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/01/sports/soccer/uswnt-us-women-carli-lloyd-alex-morgan-hope-solo-complain.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sued\u003c/a> U.S. Soccer for wage discrimination, arguing they’re paid 40 percent of what their male counterparts earn, despite outperforming them on the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s unusual with the Mavericks surf competition is that the government—a state commission, in this case—preemptively stepped in to compel equal pay as a condition of holding the event. Experts said they couldn’t think of a similar situation in another sport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Mavericks case could set a precedent for local governments to demand equal pay in any sporting event held on public property, said David Berri, a professor of economics at Southern Utah University who researches gender in sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In any event where you are going across public land, then any government entity could say, ‘You have to make this equal,’ ” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the lead set by some \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/equal-pay-for-equal-play-what-the-sport-of-tennis-got-right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tennis\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2018/05/12/83075/tour-of-california-will-award-equal-prize-money-to/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cycling\u003c/a> competitions, the World Surf League, which runs the Mavericks contest near Half Moon Bay, announced \u003ca href=\"https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-world-surf-league-wsl-announces-prize-money-equality-300707417.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a new plan\u003c/a> this week to pay men and women equal prize money starting on Oct. 1. It came after an obscure three-person state panel indicated last month that it would lease the public beach for Mavericks only if women and men are awarded the same prize money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The waves do not discriminate,” the staff of the State Lands Commission wrote in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/StateLands_Mavericks.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an unusually blistering report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Male athletes are surfing and competing on the same waves as the female athletes. There doesn’t appear to be any reasonable justification to treat prize compensation differently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission—which includes prominent Democratic politicians Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Controller Betty Yee—hasn’t yet voted on the issue because the league \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/24/equal-pay-or-no-one-plays-big-wave-women-draw-line-in-the-sand-at-mavericks/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pulled\u003c/a> its application for the lease when the report came out. But the panel was likely to approve the equal pay requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe there ought to be gender equity with respect to the purposes of any use of our state lands,” Yee said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also supported the requirement, said his chief of staff, Rhys Williams: “A lease application that doesn’t reflect equal pay isn’t going to fly with him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that the league has crafted a plan to pay men and women equally, it will likely resubmit its application for Mavericks, which is typically held between October and March when the waves swell to more than 25 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/01/women-of-mavericks-find-themselves-a-dollar-short-of-the-men/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the original plan\u003c/a>, the prize purse for women was set at $44,400 while the prize purse for men was $106,600.

Her prize: $1,750. The surfer who won the men’s division at the same competition walked away with four times as much prize money: $7,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Valenti, of San Francisco, competes on the shores of Northern California in the famous Mavericks surfing challenge this winter, she’ll be eligible for the same amount of prize money as the men. Why? Because the state of California insisted on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Hollywood, tech and many other industries, the sports world is being forced to confront its historic practice of \u003ca href=\"https://sportsmanagement.adelphi.edu/resources/infographics/a-look-at-male-and-female-professional-athlete-salaries/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paying women less than men\u003c/a>. Though the ranks of female athletes have grown dramatically since 1972, when federal law, through Title IX, began prohibiting gender discrimination in schools and colleges, pay gaps remain huge in most sports. Basketball and golf have struggled for years with pay equity issues, and female players have \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/01/sports/soccer/uswnt-us-women-carli-lloyd-alex-morgan-hope-solo-complain.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sued\u003c/a> U.S. Soccer for wage discrimination, arguing they’re paid 40 percent of what their male counterparts earn, despite outperforming them on the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s unusual with the Mavericks surf competition is that the government—a state commission, in this case—preemptively stepped in to compel equal pay as a condition of holding the event. Experts said they couldn’t think of a similar situation in another sport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Mavericks case could set a precedent for local governments to demand equal pay in any sporting event held on public property, said David Berri, a professor of economics at Southern Utah University who researches gender in sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It came after an obscure three-person state panel indicated last month that it would lease the public beach for Mavericks only if women and men are awarded the same prize money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The waves do not discriminate,” the staff of the State Lands Commission wrote in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/StateLands_Mavericks.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an unusually blistering report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Male athletes are surfing and competing on the same waves as the female athletes. There doesn’t appear to be any reasonable justification to treat prize compensation differently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission—which includes prominent Democratic politicians Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Controller Betty Yee—hasn’t yet voted on the issue because the league \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/24/equal-pay-or-no-one-plays-big-wave-women-draw-line-in-the-sand-at-mavericks/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pulled\u003c/a> its application for the lease when the report came out. But the panel was likely to approve the equal pay requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe there ought to be gender equity with respect to the purposes of any use of our state lands,” Yee said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also supported the requirement, said his chief of staff, Rhys Williams: “A lease application that doesn’t reflect equal pay isn’t going to fly with him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that the league has crafted a plan to pay men and women equally, it will likely resubmit its application for Mavericks, which is typically held between October and March when the waves swell to more than 25 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/01/women-of-mavericks-find-themselves-a-dollar-short-of-the-men/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the original plan\u003c/a>, the prize purse for women was set at $44,400 while the prize purse for men was $106,600.

Many try to hide it. And it’s certainly true that most people without a place to live are out of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But recent estimates suggest that it’s not uncommon for homeless Californians to hold down jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/2017-SF-Point-in-Time-Count-General-FINAL-6.21.17.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2017 survey\u003c/a> of the homeless population in San Francisco found 13 percent of respondents reporting part or full-time employment. That’s in a city with an estimated 7,499 people experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, an estimated 10 percent of the 4,990 people living unsheltered in San Diego \u003ca href=\"https://www.rtfhsd.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/2018-WPoint-in-Time-Count-Annual-Report.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said they were currently working\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County has more than 50,000 residents who are homeless. Eight percent of adults surveyed in 2017 said they were working to some degree, mostly in part-time, seasonal or temporary work. Among homeless adults with children, 27 percent said they were working either part or full time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘You Don’t Have a Place to Go’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes parents like Nereida, a single mother of two young daughters who works full time at a Los Angeles optometrist’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do pre-testing,” said Nereida, who asked that her last name not be used in this story. “I take measurements of [patients’] eyes. After that, the doctor sees them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six days a week, she finishes her shift with a few appointment reminder calls. Then she turns off the display lights in the eyeglass cases. She sets the alarm, locks the doors and walks out to her car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some weeks, she hasn't had a place to go home to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's been several times where I just slept in my car,” she said. “I parked close to the gym, because that's where I get ready in the mornings.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nereida moved to the Los Angeles area almost a year ago. She’s been able to rent rooms for a few months here and there. Lately, she’s been staying with a friend. Someone has always been willing to let her kids spend the night. But she never thought finding a place of her own would be this hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She admits her credit score is bad. And between car payments, gas and childcare costs, Nereida hasn’t been able to save for a deposit plus first and last month’s rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At $17 an hour, she earns more than minimum wage. But even if she did manage to find an apartment, the city’s median rent for a two-bedroom — \u003ca href=\"https://www.apartmentlist.com/rentonomics/national-rent-data/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">estimated at $1,752\u003c/a> by listings website Apartment List — would claim more than half of her income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have to really focus on work when you're at work, and try to put on a face that everything's OK,” Nereida said. “Once you're done, you break down. Because you don't have a place to go.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Homeless Employees Lack Legal Protections at Work\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nereida hasn’t told her boss that she doesn’t have a stable place to live. She said she would be embarrassed. And she wonders if she would be treated differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't want him to have a different view of me, and to think that [it] is going to affect my work life,” she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers have protections on the job when it comes to factors like race and gender. But \u003ca href=\"https://wclp.org/staff/jessica-bartholow/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jessica Bartholow\u003c/a>, a policy advocate with the Western Center on Law and Poverty, said, “There are no laws in California that protect you from being discriminated against based on your housing status.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bartholow was one of the advocates pushing for a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB5\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2012 California bill\u003c/a> that would have banned discrimination against homeless employees. Had it passed, California would have joined Rhode Island in defining homelessness as a protected class in the workplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill faced opposition from groups like the California Chamber of Commerce; it died in committee. Bartholow looks at California’s housing crisis today and wonders why legislators haven’t reconsidered it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we know that income is one of the best ways out of poverty, why wouldn't it be a best policy practice to make sure that people who are homeless and working are not at risk of losing their jobs or having reduced hours?” she asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How Employers Can Help\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some employers have succeeded at helping their workers pull themselves out of homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11690341\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Kim-Wyard-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11690341\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kim Wyard works in her office at a Northeast Valley Health Corporation office in San Fernando on Aug. 17, 2018. \u003ccite>(David Wagner/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"We don't have the solution of being able to solve everything with money,” said \u003ca href=\"https://nevhc.org/our-team/kimberly-wyard/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kim Wyard\u003c/a>, CEO of the Northeast Valley Health Corporation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're not a food bank.

It already has strong connections with the Los Angeles homeless support system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the rare cases when one of its employees has fallen into homelessness, Wyard said those connections were a huge help. Calls to the housing provider LA Family Housing recently helped one employee and her family get back on their feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wyard’s advice to other employers worried about homelessness in their workforce is to know who to call for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that it may take a little bit of digging to put a homeless resource list together for your staff,” she said. “But those resources are there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, for that approach to work, employees would need to feel comfortable telling their bosses about their situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nereida, the optometrist’s assistant, said her employer treats her well and pays her fairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said when she looks for housing assistance, she feels people's image of homelessness works against her. She describes herself as a soccer mom, and she looks the part.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've gotten comments like, ‘Sorry, but if I looked at you, I wouldn't assume that you're homeless,’” Nereida said. “Do I have to have ripped clothes? Dirty clothes? I have a job. So I can't come to work unpresentable or unprofessional.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nereida is not sure how long her current housing situation at a friend's place will last.

Under California law, cities cannot legally tie a parcel tax to market values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics worry the tax could disproportionately hurt small landowners, pushing some to sell their property to investors that can pay Oakland’s skyrocketing market values. But proponents praise the tax as a creative incentive to transform thousands of vacant lots and buildings into homes or businesses, and at the same time decrease blight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are looking not only to get rid of the trash, the weeds, the types of problems you might see, but also to encourage people to do something that would be of benefit to the community,” said Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan, who authored the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In just two years, the city’s homeless population increased by 25 percent to nearly 2,800 people, according to the most \u003ca href=\"http://everyonehome.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/City-of-Oakland-ES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent survey\u003c/a> of Alameda County.

He was dismayed after learning city permits would cost about $35,000 and take a year to process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t make sense to just try to penalize people with taxes for not having something built on their lot when they are making it difficult for everybody to build something,” said Acosta, who is growing potatoes, bell peppers and other vegetables on the plot instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He might not be subject to the tax if the city defines gardening as an active use of property. But Acosta contemplated that if he is faced with a new $6,000 tax assessment each year, he would likely sell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’d be too much money to pay,” he said. “The tax will pressure people into selling or building, but most likely selling for those who don’t have time, money and energy to deal with the tax.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building new housing in Oakland is an expensive proposition. While construction costs can vary significantly based on the size and amenities of a project, the city estimates 1,000 square feet of new construction costs about $200,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Permitting fees for a three-bedroom home can total more than $25,000, according to Oakland’s planning and building department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilwoman Kaplan said she understands small property owners face barriers to build housing the city desperately needs. Her tax measure would give them financial assistance to design and construct affordable units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonprofits and low-income owners would be exempt from the tax, as well as others who can prove financial hardship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaplan suspects the majority of vacant properties are being held by owners as a speculative investment in Oakland’s hot real estate market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People who may not have the connection and the motivation to do something with them, and especially a lot of big corporate speculators,” Kaplan said. “And so the vacant property tax will help us keep track of who owns them, what they’re doing with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Measure Lacks Clarity, Critics Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 4,400 bare lots could be subject to the tax plus an unknown number of vacant residential, commercial and industrial buildings, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4797561-View-Supplemental-Report-5-11-218.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a report\u003c/a> by Katano Kasaine, Oakland’s finance director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics decried that lack of clarity, arguing it’s unfair to ask voters to decide on the tax in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’d be great to have a list first before you went about taxing people on it,” said Kiran Shenoy, government affairs director for the \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandberkeleyaor.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Berkeley Association of Realtors\u003c/a>. “We don’t know whether or not this is going to end up disenfranchising a lot of small Oakland property owners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He stressed that although the measure has several exemptions, it will be up to the landowners to prove they qualify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/H.Raetz_Vacant_Parcels_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study\u003c/a> by the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley found most vacant parcels in the city are small, fit for a single family house or duplex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Author Hayley Raetz dug through county data that suggests 57 percent of vacant land owners in the city only hold one parcel. But she cautions that percentage is likely overblown in part because owners can create individual LLCs or limited liability companies for each property they buy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s where it gets tricky unfortunately. Sometimes you see lots that have owners with different first names and the same last name. But it’s hard to tell if that’s a family or if it’s just a common last name,” Raetz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Implementing Tax Measure Will Be Key\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Land use experts and others following the debate said that while they support the concept of the tax, much of the proposal’s effectiveness depends on how the city would put it into action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do have some concerns about how it will be implemented, starting with the definition of what constitutes vacancy,” said Sarah Karlinsky, senior policy adviser at SPUR, a think tank focused on urban planning in the San Francisco Bay Area.

And you can correlate that to the affordability crisis,” said Elder, founder and director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastoaklandcollective.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The East Oakland Collective\u003c/a> nonprofit, as she visited a 65-year old woman sitting on a corner, surrounded by piles of belongings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could take years to build more affordable housing, but Elder sees a faster way to relieve homelessness in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of vacant properties that haven’t been used for years,” said Elder, as she pointed to a fenced, empty parcel next to the encampment she visited on a recent morning. “As a city and as a community, we need to take a look at these vacant public and private lands and see how we can use them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The city estimates the tax could raise as much as $10 million annually for homeless services, blight remediation and to stem illegal dumping. Tax revenue would also go toward new affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689756\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11689756\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Photo-3-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The belongings of people living on a sidewalk in East Oakland sprawl next to an empty lot on Aug. 24, 2018. Homeless advocate Candice Elder, 34, said vacant properties dot the area. “A lot of properties were vacant when I was growing up, and they are still vacant now,” said Elder, a native of the city. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Owners of properties in use fewer than 50 days per year would be taxed as much as $6,000 per parcel annually, if two-thirds of voters approve \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4801970-Vacant-Property-Tax-Measure-2018-07-24.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the measure\u003c/a> in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two weeks after the Oakland City Council voted 6-2 to place the tax on the ballot, officials in the neighboring city of Richmond greenlighted a similar proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owners of vacant properties would pay the same amount of additional tax, regardless of the size or worth of their property. Under California law, cities cannot legally tie a parcel tax to market values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics worry the tax could disproportionately hurt small landowners, pushing some to sell their property to investors that can pay Oakland’s skyrocketing market values. But proponents praise the tax as a creative incentive to transform thousands of vacant lots and buildings into homes or businesses, and at the same time decrease blight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are looking not only to get rid of the trash, the weeds, the types of problems you might see, but also to encourage people to do something that would be of benefit to the community,” said Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan, who authored the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In just two years, the city’s homeless population increased by 25 percent to nearly 2,800 people, according to the most \u003ca href=\"http://everyonehome.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/City-of-Oakland-ES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent survey\u003c/a> of Alameda County.

A gunfight in the lot once sent a stray bullet through a bedroom in his house, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689766\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11689766\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Photo4-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan speaks with property owner Francisco Acosta in front of a vacant lot in West Oakland on Aug. 20, 2018. Kaplan authored a proposed tax on vacant properties to help ease homelessness in the city. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But Acosta, who also owns a lot labeled as vacant by the county assessor’s office, doubted the tax would encourage him to build the duplex he previously planned for his land. He was dismayed after learning city permits would cost about $35,000 and take a year to process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t make sense to just try to penalize people with taxes for not having something built on their lot when they are making it difficult for everybody to build something,” said Acosta, who is growing potatoes, bell peppers and other vegetables on the plot instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He might not be subject to the tax if the city defines gardening as an active use of property. But Acosta contemplated that if he is faced with a new $6,000 tax assessment each year, he would likely sell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’d be too much money to pay,” he said. “The tax will pressure people into selling or building, but most likely selling for those who don’t have time, money and energy to deal with the tax.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building new housing in Oakland is an expensive proposition. While construction costs can vary significantly based on the size and amenities of a project, the city estimates 1,000 square feet of new construction costs about $200,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Permitting fees for a three-bedroom home can total more than $25,000, according to Oakland’s planning and building department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilwoman Kaplan said she understands small property owners face barriers to build housing the city desperately needs. Her tax measure would give them financial assistance to design and construct affordable units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonprofits and low-income owners would be exempt from the tax, as well as others who can prove financial hardship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaplan suspects the majority of vacant properties are being held by owners as a speculative investment in Oakland’s hot real estate market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People who may not have the connection and the motivation to do something with them, and especially a lot of big corporate speculators,” Kaplan said. “And so the vacant property tax will help us keep track of who owns them, what they’re doing with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Measure Lacks Clarity, Critics Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 4,400 bare lots could be subject to the tax plus an unknown number of vacant residential, commercial and industrial buildings, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4797561-View-Supplemental-Report-5-11-218.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a report\u003c/a> by Katano Kasaine, Oakland’s finance director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics decried that lack of clarity, arguing it’s unfair to ask voters to decide on the tax in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’d be great to have a list first before you went about taxing people on it,” said Kiran Shenoy, government affairs director for the \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandberkeleyaor.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Berkeley Association of Realtors\u003c/a>. “We don’t know whether or not this is going to end up disenfranchising a lot of small Oakland property owners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He stressed that although the measure has several exemptions, it will be up to the landowners to prove they qualify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/H.Raetz_Vacant_Parcels_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study\u003c/a> by the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley found most vacant parcels in the city are small, fit for a single family house or duplex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Author Hayley Raetz dug through county data that suggests 57 percent of vacant land owners in the city only hold one parcel. But she cautions that percentage is likely overblown in part because owners can create individual LLCs or limited liability companies for each property they buy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s where it gets tricky unfortunately. Sometimes you see lots that have owners with different first names and the same last name. But it’s hard to tell if that’s a family or if it’s just a common last name,” Raetz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Implementing Tax Measure Will Be Key\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Land use experts and others following the debate said that while they support the concept of the tax, much of the proposal’s effectiveness depends on how the city would put it into action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do have some concerns about how it will be implemented, starting with the definition of what constitutes vacancy,” said Sarah Karlinsky, senior policy adviser at SPUR, a think tank focused on urban planning in the San Francisco Bay Area. The organization sent \u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/publications/policy-letter/2018-05-07/spur-comments-vacant-parcel-tax-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a letter\u003c/a> to city leaders recommending they clarify that definition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A parcel that hosts a farmers market once a week would be considered active, said Councilwoman Kaplan. But Karlinsky said enforcement even in that scenario could prove difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Monitoring that from the public sector side is really tough,” she said. “Like, are they going to send people out every week to make sure Joe had his farmers market?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents for the tax point to other cities that have tried taxing empty homes and blighted properties, such as \u003ca href=\"https://vancouver.ca/home-property-development/empty-homes-tax.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vancouver, British Columbia\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://otr.cfo.dc.gov/page/otr-vacant-real-property\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington, D.C.\u003c/a> as examples of efforts to make land more productive while funding city services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think this vacant property tax is brilliant,” said Paula Hawthorn, adding that she is tired of walking by abandoned-looking storefronts near her Oakland home. “It’s a good way to stop people from holding on to their property for speculation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689759\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11689759\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Photo-5-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Vann, a retired architect who pushed for the proposed tax on vacant properties, near downtown Oakland on Aug. 23, 2018. “We’ve got to tackle homelessness now with whatever means we can,” he said. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For James Vann, a retired architect who pushed for the tax, the exemptions in Oakland’s measure, and the city’s promise to work out the details, are enough to move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax would be in place no sooner than 2020, giving the city time to ramp up the effort and create a registry of properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vann believes the measure, which would expire in 20 years, represents an opportunity to fund homeless services the city is struggling to afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s just no money there in the budget,” said Vann, a member of the Homeless Advocacy Working Group. “The homelessness problem is one that we are facing now, that is critical.

During the early morning of March 5, traffic police towed and impounded his black 2005 Mercedes Benz -- for having too many overdue parking tickets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wake up at 3 o’clock in the morning and there was a guy behind me. And I’m like, ‘What are you doing behind my car?’” Kayode said while standing in the lobby of the Next Door homeless shelter in downtown San Francisco. “He says, ‘I'm just waiting for the tow truck to come get you.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Kayode, who now lives at Next Door, his car wasn’t just a place to sleep, it was how he earned a living, he said, delivering food through Uber Eats. He shakes his head in disbelief at where he was, and where he is now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am a homeless guy that worked my way out of homelessness,” Kayode said. “Bought my own car. Now you've taken my car, taken my job and now you're giving me food stamps. It doesn't make sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is it Unconstitutional to Impound a Car for Unpaid Tickets?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>An estimated half million cars a year in California are impounded, unclaimed and sold, according to Jude Pond of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights in San Francisco. He said many of those cars belonged to poor people living in them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pond helped file a lawsuit on Kayode's behalf to challenge the California law that allows cities to tow a car away if that car has five or more overdue parking tickets. Many cities follow that policy, and Pond said it’s unconstitutional in several ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government should not be allowed to take someone’s property without any notice and without a warrant, he said. That’s doubly true because these vehicles weren’t used in a crime, but were towed simply for financial reasons -- just to collect fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It makes absolutely no sense to take a homeless person's car, confiscating it, impounding it. If you take away their car, they’re going to be on the street. That’s not a benefit to society. Common sense has to be in play.'\u003ccite>Zev Yaroslavsky, UCLA\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Cities do not issue warnings, outside of the fine print on a parking ticket, that they’re coming to impound a vehicle. Parking officers just show up and take it away. And in the case of the homeless who live in their cars, city officials are taking their temporary home from them, which raises the stakes above the taking of a vehicle, Pond said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re hoping that this case sets the precedent that the city should not take people’s only asset -- in this case their car -- for the purpose of satisfying a debt, based on just outstanding parking tickets,\" Pond said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, officers towing a car with a homeless occupant will contact the police department and social services to help that person get services, according to Paul Rose, spokesman for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, who responded by email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be times when the [Homeless Outreach Team] will not be available to respond. If there is no urgency regarding the towing of the vehicle we will make an effort to delay the tow to allow services to respond,” Rose said. “We cannot completely avoid the removal of the vehicle as this would create an unintended exemption for vehicles that are in violation of city or state law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689591\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/KayodeSmoking-800x590.jpg\" alt=\"Sean Kayode, outside the Next Door homeless shelter in San Francisco on July 26, 2018.

Because losing those cars to impoundment can mean the loss of work and home, it can be a tipping point into a life on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many people, having their car towed for overdue parking tickets is a major annoyance and life disruption. But for homeless people, it’s a permanent loss, because most of them cannot afford to recover their cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The costs escalate quickly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Offenders must reimburse the tow charge, roughly $500. They also need to pay off their original tickets and the accrued fines on those tickets, which can be $1,000 or more. On top of all of that, it usually costs $71 for each day the car is stored at the tow yard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Kayode’s case, more than five months after his car was impounded, it would cost him more than $21,000 to get his car back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s about $20,000 more than he paid for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ostensibly, the city is towing the car to collect a debt, but in many cases where cars are unclaimed and eventually sold, the city doesn’t make much money on the sale, if anything. That’s because the tow yard has first dibs on any cash collected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the cities, though, it’s not about the money, according to UCLA political expert Zev Yaroslavsky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's the credibility of the restrictions,” Yaroslavsky said. “If the restrictions were not enforced, then no one would comply with them. The reason you and I rush out to the parking meter when it’s about to expire, to put another quarter in there, is because we don’t want to pay $80 for the privilege of having overstayed our welcome by a minute.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689602\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/PreppingToTow-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The quickly escalating costs of having a vehicle impounded usually mean poor Californians can’t afford to get their cars back.

During the early morning of March 5, traffic police towed and impounded his black 2005 Mercedes Benz -- for having too many overdue parking tickets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wake up at 3 o’clock in the morning and there was a guy behind me. And I’m like, ‘What are you doing behind my car?’” Kayode said while standing in the lobby of the Next Door homeless shelter in downtown San Francisco. “He says, ‘I'm just waiting for the tow truck to come get you.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Kayode, who now lives at Next Door, his car wasn’t just a place to sleep, it was how he earned a living, he said, delivering food through Uber Eats. He shakes his head in disbelief at where he was, and where he is now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am a homeless guy that worked my way out of homelessness,” Kayode said. “Bought my own car. Now you've taken my car, taken my job and now you're giving me food stamps.

Many cities follow that policy, and Pond said it’s unconstitutional in several ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government should not be allowed to take someone’s property without any notice and without a warrant, he said. That’s doubly true because these vehicles weren’t used in a crime, but were towed simply for financial reasons -- just to collect fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It makes absolutely no sense to take a homeless person's car, confiscating it, impounding it.

If there is no urgency regarding the towing of the vehicle we will make an effort to delay the tow to allow services to respond,” Rose said. “We cannot completely avoid the removal of the vehicle as this would create an unintended exemption for vehicles that are in violation of city or state law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689591\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/KayodeSmoking-800x590.jpg\" alt=\"Sean Kayode, outside the Next Door homeless shelter in San Francisco on July 26, 2018.

Because losing those cars to impoundment can mean the loss of work and home, it can be a tipping point into a life on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many people, having their car towed for overdue parking tickets is a major annoyance and life disruption. But for homeless people, it’s a permanent loss, because most of them cannot afford to recover their cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The costs escalate quickly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Offenders must reimburse the tow charge, roughly $500. They also need to pay off their original tickets and the accrued fines on those tickets, which can be $1,000 or more. On top of all of that, it usually costs $71 for each day the car is stored at the tow yard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Kayode’s case, more than five months after his car was impounded, it would cost him more than $21,000 to get his car back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s about $20,000 more than he paid for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ostensibly, the city is towing the car to collect a debt, but in many cases where cars are unclaimed and eventually sold, the city doesn’t make much money on the sale, if anything. That’s because the tow yard has first dibs on any cash collected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the cities, though, it’s not about the money, according to UCLA political expert Zev Yaroslavsky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's the credibility of the restrictions,” Yaroslavsky said. “If the restrictions were not enforced, then no one would comply with them. The reason you and I rush out to the parking meter when it’s about to expire, to put another quarter in there, is because we don’t want to pay $80 for the privilege of having overstayed our welcome by a minute.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689602\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/PreppingToTow-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The quickly escalating costs of having a vehicle impounded usually mean poor Californians can’t afford to get their cars back.

And so, to be a young woman who makes one-third to one-half of what anyone else in my department is making is really discouraging.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study also found that more than 50 percent of the women surveyed say they’ve seen or experienced sexual harassment at work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miranda Cristofani is on the Board of Directors at IATSE and worked as an art department coordinator in the industry for 14 years. She says you can draw a direct line between harassment and pay equity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you’re paid peanuts,\" explains Cristofani, \"you’re treated as peanuts.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",
