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

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

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Penny Nelson recently dove into the story of one RV dweller who commutes from Fresno to Silicon Valley for work, setting up residence each week on the streets of Palo Alto (you can listen to all three stories by clicking the play button above).\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the Bay Area, you can find RVs and campervans regularly parked along the road in many communities, as sky-high housing costs push some people into creative living situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past couple of years, this phenomenon has taken off. In the course of my own daily living on the Bay Area’s Peninsula, I’ve watched the number of those living in RVs ebb and flow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Mountain View, where some Google staff live right off the campus in campervans, the Silicon Valley city has banned RVs from parking overnight on public streets (the ban has yet to take effect), \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2019-05-21/silicon-valley-s-shame-living-in-a-van-in-google-s-backyard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg reported\u003c/a>, as has the city of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11735832/berkeley-affirms-ban-on-overnight-rv-parking-once-permit-system-is-in-place\">Berkeley\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Palo Alto, where campervans and RVs line El Camino Real next to Stanford University, a city rule mandates that people move vehicles on public roads every three days — and at least a half-mile away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes my curiosity gets the best of me, and I start knocking on doors. That’s what happened when I spotted a campervan near the KQED building in San Francisco’s Mission District. The door creaked open and a middle-aged man’s face peaked out. I asked if we could chat about living in his campervan in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='affordable-housing' label='KQED coverage of affordable housing']Happy to oblige, he shared his story of being a cook in a nearby restaurant, using the bicycle locked to a tree near the RV to get to and from work, and carrying his work clothes in a backpack. He said he was doing fine in his home on wheels. He said other restaurant workers he knew were doing the same thing: living in motor homes while working in the service industry’s relatively low-wage jobs that put the region’s high rents out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the spark for me to check in with those living in a line of vehicles consistently parked curbside on El Camino in Palo Alto, where many RVs are parked right next to Stanford University. I started knocking on those doors, assuming the residents of the RVs were graduate students or university staff unable to afford expensive Palo Alto rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s how I met Arturo Torres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He opened his door for me with a broad smile, and invited me into his RV. Sitting on his couch, he said he was happy to talk about his situation.

Renters tend to move more, meaning they need to re-register to vote at each new address. Political mailers and turn-out-the-vote campaigns can have a tough time infiltrating apartment complexes and keeping track of who moved where.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But beyond these structural barriers, there’s the thorny question of why more renters aren’t more politically organized and active, especially compared to homeowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the answer–many renters consider their identity as a tenant temporary, and aspire to be homeowners some day. Why spend time on something like campaigning for rent control if you won’t benefit from it in a few years?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone in America and certainly everyone in California, from when you’re born, the expectation is you rent until you have enough money to buy a house,” said Shanti Singh, communications director for Tenants Together, a statewide coalition of local tenants groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singh likens the difficulty tenants unions have mobilizing renters to the difficulty labor unions have mobilizing workers who aspire to one day rise to management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"left\" citation=\"Brian Augusta, lobbyist for tenant interests\"]“That’s the question we’re always asking ourselves.”[/pullquote]“We’re like 20 to 30 years behind the labor movement, and even the labor movement is always trying to get people to understand their identity as workers,” said Singh. “We’re trying to do the same thing and kind of trying to follow that path.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That dynamic may be changing as the cost of homeownership becomes less and less feasible for younger Californians, who may consider renting less a temporary station and more the only viable means of remaining in the state. In 1970, the average California home \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/digging-data-attainable-california-dream-today/\">cost about three times\u003c/a> the median income for a 25 to 34-year-old family. Today the average home costs about seven times a young family’s earnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The money imbalance is important, but it doesn’t explain everything\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>To many in the tenants rights movement, the answer to why pro-renter bills die in the Capitol is simple: Landlords and their allies have lots of money for campaign contributions, lobbying and independent political expenditures. Tenants don’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Apartment Association, the primary interest group representing large landlords on statewide issues, poured $280,000 into general lobbying in the first three months of this year. The California Association of Realtors, a longtime political ally of the landlords and a staunch opponent of rent control, spent $418,000.

The state Medi-Cal program covers half the cost of services to low-income Californians enrolled in the program.

It’s not just a San Francisco issue, it’s an issue across the entire Bay Area and California,” said Rufus Jeffris, a spokesman for the Bay Area Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A big danger in this proposal is relying on highly volatile jobs and wealth taxes to fund an ongoing expansion of services. And given criticism about a lack of coordination and coherence in a system that some have described as ‘devastatingly broken,’ voters will need to decide whether spending more money is the right approach,” Jeffris said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notably absent from the press conference announcing the plan were San Francisco’s mayor, London Breed, and anyone from the city’s department of public health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both offices said they couldn’t comment on the proposal yet because they both hadn’t seen it until Tuesday, when it was announced to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those offices have been trying to address shortfalls in mental health care. The mayor recently hired the city’s first ever director of mental health reform, Dr. Anton Nigusse Bland, who previously directed psychiatric emergency services at San Francisco General Hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is now tasked with evaluating the city’s mental health and substance abuse treatment services, particularly for homeless people, and making recommendations for changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city is also participating in a pilot project overhauling the delivery of drug treatment services through Medi-Cal – a project that includes some features proposed in the Mental Health SF program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ronen says it’s not nearly enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We haven’t seen a single plan that comes out of the mayor’s office to deal with this crisis at the scale that we’re dealing with,” Ronen said. “We need a massive overhaul.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To staff the program, Ronen believes the city can accomplish what the private health care industry can’t. Kaiser Permanente has been the target of numerous complaints about long wait times for mental health appointments, which clinicians there say is due to under staffing. Their union recently authorized a strike over the issue, following a five-day strike in December. Patients with Blue Shield coverage say when they call therapists listed on the insurer’s network, most are not taking new patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both companies routinely explain this by saying there is a shortage of clinicians. But Ronen says this is an excuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of Mental Health SF is we’re going to pay people what we need to pay them to attract them, and we’re going to have the revenue to do so,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program will also rely heavily on peer counselors, who don’t carry the same high-level degree that demands such high salaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes the best care, and the best coaching, it comes from people who’ve experienced the illness themselves,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two supervisors plan to officially introduce the measure at next Tuesday’s board meeting. They need six supervisors to support the proposal, and currently five are backing it. Along with Ronen and Haney, Supervisors Mar, Shamann Walton and Norman Yee are on board. Ronen expects Supervisor Aaron Peskin to back it as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
