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

For the most part, the material we've been wandering through the past few months -- and will continue perusing for future posts -- seethes with life and color. The challenge is to try to assimilate a meaningful portion of it and do it justice in the retelling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, with some master storytellers working the same local history ground -- one thinks of Gary Kamiya, David Talbot, Rebecca Solnit and Chris Carlsson, for instance, and web projects like \u003ca href=\"http://burritojustice.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Burrito Justice\u003c/a> and the Virtual Museum of the City of San Francisco -- we're a little self-conscious about getting the story right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big part of that story, of course, is how quickly a landscape we can scarcely imagine today was remade into the metropolis. And In the video here -- Adam Grossberg's work -- we attempt to give a glimpse of that process, from the earliest days of the Gold Rush to this morning's stop-and-go traffic on the 101.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And it’s doing a good job.

But next to it, a little patch of the driveway is wet -- a possible sign of overwatering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> \u003c/em>Sue Tensfeldt talks to a nanny who answers the door and is a bit stumped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There isn't any irrigation on that little patch of landscape where we see water coming from, so it could indicate that there's some other issue going on,” Tensfeldt says. “As the water experts, we're going to try to figure out the problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pops off a utility cover on a sidewalk to reveal a water meter below. To her chagrin, the meter isn't moving. That means the water pipe probably isn't leaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our meters can pick up on very small amounts of water passing through, things as little as a dripping faucet, a dripping showerhead or shower valve, or even a house pipe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conclusion? It's probably a \u003cem>sewer\u003c/em> problem -- a problem they can't fix by themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz admits that in this conservation-conscious city, she’s almost preaching to the choir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But there's always room to save more,” Ortiz insists. “And so that's part of the hard job that Sue and I do. We go out and look for the opportunities to find places and ways people can still save water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their city car is practically a hardware store on wheels. Their trunk is full of garden-hose spray nozzles, low-flow shower heads, standard toilet repair parts and dye tabs to check for toilet leaks. And tons of water conservation literature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's laudable, of course, that cities like San Francisco are trying to plug every little leak. But the truth is, the size of California's water problem is going to require more sacrifice and perhaps more punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Peter Gleick, a water scientist and co-founder of the \u003ca href=\"http://pacinst.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Pacific Institute\u003c/a> in Oakland, even endorses “water shaming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would like to see a reality in which, if you have a green lawn, your neighbors look at you askance,” says Gleick. “And that's socially unacceptable. In the 21\u003csup>st\u003c/sup> century, green lawns should go the way of smoking on airplanes.”\u003c/p>\n\n",
