A Democrat from Los Angeles, Rendon and his wife collect rental income from four properties: three single-family homes in Sacramento and a condominium in downtown L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rendon declined to be interviewed for this story. A spokesman wrote via email that Rendon “is aware of the cost pressure that many tenants face and has voted for a host of tenants’ protection bills that have been before him in the Assembly.” He emphasized that the speaker’s wife owned three of the rental properties well before marrying Rendon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They referred to their boats as “arks,” which featured arched roofs, decks at either end and French doors at the bow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A thriving social scene grew up around these Victorian arks. There was swimming, boating and parties — and boardwalks were built to connect the boats to land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The earthquake and fires of 1906 turned some of these pleasure arks into full-time homes after their owners’ homes in San Francisco were destroyed. Over the next 30 years, most of the arks moved in from the open waters. They were either moored to shore or transported onto land to become traditional homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>World War II Sparks a New Era of Waterfront Living\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>During World War II, the Sausalito waterfront was transformed into a shipyard known as Marinship. At its peak, Marinship employed 20,000 workers pumping out vessels for the war effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And when the war was over, the Bechtel Corporation, which had been running the shipyard, just abandoned it,” said Larry Clinton, former president of the Sausalito Historical Society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former shipyard worker, Don Arques, acquired much of the land and excess Marinship materials, and began offering them to returning soldiers and free-spirited artists who were looking for cheap housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11740575\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 628px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11740575\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/1976.268.Marinship.jpg\" alt=\"The Marinship shipyard along the Sausalito waterfront in 1943.

Beatniks and bohemians like Allen Ginsberg and Shel Silverstein found refuge on the water, which was filled with eclectic vessels ranging from the barely buoyant to floating works of art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were many, many very weird boats, sloppy homemade things, piles of junk,” said Jeff Costello, who moved to the water from the East Coast as a musician in the 1970s. “There was a little thing called the Donald Duck boat, which was a 22-foot metal lifeboat with a cabin on it and two front windows, and made to look like Donald Duck.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the boats at this time were tied up along shore — and like Haight-Ashbury across the bridge in San Francisco, drugs, sex and rock ‘n’ roll fueled a raucous party scene on the water. But also like the hippies in the Haight, the party wasn’t allowed to go on uninterrupted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11739994\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11739994 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36522_DSC_2290-qut-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"Many of the houseboats in Sausalito in the 1960s and 1970s were works of art, like this one, known as 'The Owl,' that is still docked there.

For the next decade, officials and boat owners continued to spar in what has come to be known as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.theava.com/archives/23500\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houseboat Wars\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late ’70s, a detente of sorts was reached, after the building of five permanent marinas where “floating homes” could permanently dock and get linked to utilities and sewage. Yet some saw this as gentrification of the waterfront, and some of the boats made the move to open water to become anchor-outs.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Anchor-Outs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBlUnKzdEME\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Houseboat Wars raged along shore, Greg Baker and the other early anchor-outs mostly avoided the drama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The government didn’t know we existed,” he said. “Nobody had the slightest idea we were living on our boats out here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Baker first dropped anchor in Richardson Bay in 1963, he said there were around 20 boats anchored out. “I think I lived on an old metal lifeboat with a canvas over it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even after the building of the marinas in the late ’70s, which drove more people out to the open waters, Baker said there were still fewer than 100 anchor-outs. That changed about a decade ago, when numbers started to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around this time, other anchorages in the Bay Area closed or clamped down on live-aboards, leaving Richardson Bay as one of the few places where people could live freely on the water. It was also the height of the Great Recession — as it became harder to afford a place to live in the Bay Area, a rent-free life on the water became an even more attractive option.[aside postID='news_11535091' label='A Cartoonists Look at Life as an Anchor-Out']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2016, there were 235 anchor-outs in Richardson Bay, according to the Richardson’s Bay Regional Agency (RBRA), a cooperative agency serving Belvedere, Tiburon, Mill Valley, Marin County and, until 2017, Sausalito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker said many of the newcomers didn’t come with a lot of marine knowledge, leading to more calls to police about domestic violence, drug use and drownings. There were also environmental concerns about the boats’ impact on the bay’s \u003ca href=\"http://ca.audubon.org/news/tangled-web-issues-complicates-effort-protect-richardson-bays-eelgrass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eelgrass population\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, Sausalito passed a law saying the city could impound any vessel left in its waters for more than 72 hours. But city leaders say the top priority of the new law is getting rid of the many boats anchored \u003cem>without\u003c/em> anyone living on them, boats that are either abandoned or being used as storage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not our intention to ever force folks who are living on their boats to leave our waters,” said Sausalito City Councilwoman Joan Cox. “But as people do leave, we intend not to have them replaced by other people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Future of Anchor-Outs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11739993\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11739993\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36504_DSC_2381-qut-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"Greg Baker has had several boats since he first became an anchor-out on Richardson Bay in 1963.

Earlier this week, the City Council agreed to move forward with a pilot program that would pay for eight anchor-outs to dock at one of the city’s marinas for six months and get connected to social services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are anchor-outs who, if simply given the opportunity to bring their boat from the water to a slip, will not have to spend all of their time surviving on the water,” Cox said. “They’ll be able to go out and seek job opportunities, get on their feet again and move their lives forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The RBRA is looking at the feasibility of setting up a permanent mooring field that would allow permitted anchor-outs to stay in the bay while being as ecologically friendly as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker said he understands why some people are upset about the current state of the anchor-outs. He’s part of a \u003ca href=\"http://anchoredout.org/AnchoredOut/RBSAA.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">group of live-aboards\u003c/a> who have committed to having their anchors inspected to make sure the boats don’t get blown away, registering their boats with the U.S. Coast Guard, having a reliable way to dispose of sewage and keeping their decks clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are trying to keep people safe,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he also makes it clear that he doesn’t plan on leaving the water anytime soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s home, and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else,” he said. “They’ll have to take me away in handcuffs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

They referred to their boats as “arks,” which featured arched roofs, decks at either end and French doors at the bow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A thriving social scene grew up around these Victorian arks. There was swimming, boating and parties — and boardwalks were built to connect the boats to land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The earthquake and fires of 1906 turned some of these pleasure arks into full-time homes after their owners’ homes in San Francisco were destroyed. Over the next 30 years, most of the arks moved in from the open waters.

Beatniks and bohemians like Allen Ginsberg and Shel Silverstein found refuge on the water, which was filled with eclectic vessels ranging from the barely buoyant to floating works of art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were many, many very weird boats, sloppy homemade things, piles of junk,” said Jeff Costello, who moved to the water from the East Coast as a musician in the 1970s. “There was a little thing called the Donald Duck boat, which was a 22-foot metal lifeboat with a cabin on it and two front windows, and made to look like Donald Duck.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the boats at this time were tied up along shore — and like Haight-Ashbury across the bridge in San Francisco, drugs, sex and rock ‘n’ roll fueled a raucous party scene on the water.

Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, to pull legislation that would transfer oversight of the Daly City facility from state to local control. The board only moved to end gun shows because of the threat of disbanding it, said Victor Ruiz-Cornejo, a spokesman for Wiener.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board’s decision comes after years of efforts by Bay Area leaders to ban gun sales at the facility, including a succession of state bills dating back to 2007, all of which were ultimately vetoed by former governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gun-control groups ramped up their protests against the site’s gun shows after the February 2018 mass shooting at a Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida that killed 14 students and three staffers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a battle that’s been brewing for over two decades,” San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa said on Tuesday. “The communities surrounding the Cow Palace earned a big victory today. … The state should not profit off the sales of guns and now it no longer will at the Cow Palace.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board also voted to move forward with a retail and housing project on the 68-acre property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cow Palace first opened in 1941 and was primarily used for agricultural-related expositions. Over the decades, the site has hosted everything from rock concerts and flower shows to gun expositions. There have already been \u003ca href=\"https://www.crossroadsgunshows.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Calendar-2019.pdf\">two gun shows\u003c/a> at the arena this year, with three more scheduled. All of them are operated by Crossroads of the West, a Utah-based gun show event manager, whose contract with the facility expires at the end of 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are of course disappointed that the board voted to not renew our contracts for 2020, especially considering the fact that we have been doing shows there for more than 30 years with no negative incidents … zero,” Crossroads owner Rob Templeton said in an email to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Templeton stressed that his shows observe all local and federal regulations and have maintained strong relationships with local and state law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, those who have never been to a gun show and know nothing about them have pressured the board to vote against something that they don’t like,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB281\">Senate Bill 281\u003c/a>, introduced by Wiener in February on the one-year anniversary of the Parkland shooting, would bar gun shows at the Cow Palace and transfer control from the site’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.cowpalace.com/p/about-us/board\">board of directors\u003c/a> to a newly created agency composed of San Francisco and San Mateo County officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>True to its name, the Cow Palace is currently operated by the state Department of Food and Agriculture and governed by its appointed board, placing it under state jurisdiction as opposed to city or county control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener’s legislation, which was co-authored by Assemblyman Phil Ting, a fellow San Francisco Democrat, would allow the new agency to redevelop the 68-acre property for housing and commercial space, with the option of keeping the event space operational.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Cow Palace is not living in the modern era,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11726106/lawmaker-again-looks-to-ban-gun-shows-at-cow-palace-with-eyes-toward-a-new-mixed-use-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wiener said in February\u003c/a>, after introducing the bill. “It’s ignoring the pleas by the local community to end the gun shows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said it’s high time to develop housing on the sprawling site, which includes a cavernous structure with sprawling parking lots that’s close to a Caltrain station and bus service and happens to be located “directly south of one of the tightest housing markets in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruiz-Cornejo, Wiener’s spokesman, said he’s confident Gov. Gavin Newsom will be more receptive to the bill, which will be heard in committee later this month, than his predecessors were. The legislation will be heard by the Senate Public Safety Committee on April 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Additional reporting was provided by KQED’s Guy Marzorati and Bay City News Service.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, to pull legislation that would transfer oversight of the Daly City facility from state to local control. The board only moved to end gun shows because of the threat of disbanding it, said Victor Ruiz-Cornejo, a spokesman for Wiener.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board’s decision comes after years of efforts by Bay Area leaders to ban gun sales at the facility, including a succession of state bills dating back to 2007, all of which were ultimately vetoed by former governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gun-control groups ramped up their protests against the site’s gun shows after the February 2018 mass shooting at a Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida that killed 14 students and three staffers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a battle that’s been brewing for over two decades,” San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa said on Tuesday. “The communities surrounding the Cow Palace earned a big victory today. … The state should not profit off the sales of guns and now it no longer will at the Cow Palace.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board also voted to move forward with a retail and housing project on the 68-acre property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cow Palace first opened in 1941 and was primarily used for agricultural-related expositions. Over the decades, the site has hosted everything from rock concerts and flower shows to gun expositions. There have already been \u003ca href=\"https://www.crossroadsgunshows.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Calendar-2019.pdf\">two gun shows\u003c/a> at the arena this year, with three more scheduled. All of them are operated by Crossroads of the West, a Utah-based gun show event manager, whose contract with the facility expires at the end of 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are of course disappointed that the board voted to not renew our contracts for 2020, especially considering the fact that we have been doing shows there for more than 30 years with no negative incidents … zero,” Crossroads owner Rob Templeton said in an email to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Templeton stressed that his shows observe all local and federal regulations and have maintained strong relationships with local and state law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, those who have never been to a gun show and know nothing about them have pressured the board to vote against something that they don’t like,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
