"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.",

Google is just on the beneficial side of things going their way, without having to give anything back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many activists in the various cities where tech is expanding, Buchanan has questions about the details: How exactly is housing going to be kept affordable?

"title": "State of the State: 5 Ways Gavin Newsom Made It Clear He’s Not Jerry Brown",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Just a month after his inauguration, Gov. Gavin Newsom used his \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/newsom-state-of-the-state-annotated/\">State of the State speech\u003c/a> Tuesday to make his strongest showing yet that Jerry Brown is no longer in charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He proposed scaling back two of Brown’s legacy projects — a high-speed train and a pair of tunnels to move water north to south. He rescinded Brown’s deployment of California National Guard troops to the Mexican border. And he voiced support for education and housing policies that Brown generally stayed away from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s no shock that Newsom is carving his own path. California’s last several governors took office vowing to right the perceived wrongs of their predecessors. Brown himself, in his first term, was a change agent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they were Democrats replacing Republicans, or vice versa. Newsom is the first Democrat to follow a Democrat into the California governor’s office in more than a century — and friendship between the Brown and Newsom families \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/commentary/gavin-newsoms-keeping-it-all-in-the-family/\">goes back generations\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/gavin-newsom-transition-jerry-brown/\">creates a challenge\u003c/a> other recent governors have not faced: Newsom must pay homage to the legacy of his predecessor while also establishing his own vision. It’s not an easy needle to thread — as evidenced by Newsom’s response when asked if he is breaking away from the course Brown set in his two terms in office:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re building on a lot of the work that’s been done,” he said in a brief interview after the speech. “We’re just being more sober about it, more deliberative about it, more focused, more transparent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this early stage in his governorship, here are five key ways Newsom has sought to differentiate himself:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Border Patrol\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Early last year, President Trump asked border-state governors to beef up their National Guard troops along the Mexican border. Brown responded by saying California troops wouldn’t enforce immigration laws or “build a new wall.” \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/trump_california/gavin-newsom-says-hes-refuse-trump-on-sending-national-guard-to-the-border/\">But he agreed\u003c/a> to add 400 troops, saying they would focus on combating transnational crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/newsletters/national-guard-newsom-state-of-state-kamala-harris-caltrans-homeless/\">rolled back Brown’s order\u003c/a> this week, reassigning most of the troops from the border to areas threatened by wildfire and illegal marijuana grows. Those remaining at the border “will focus on stopping criminals smuggling drugs and guns through existing border checkpoints,” Newsom said in his speech. “This is our answer to the White House: No more division, no more xenophobia and no more nativism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>High-speed rail\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Since his first stint as governor in the 1970s, Brown has advocated for a new high-speed train to connect Northern and Southern California. He took steps more recently to support the project by negotiating funding for it from California’s signature climate change program. “I make no bones about it,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2018/01/25/80125/gov-brown-to-lay-out-vision-in-last-state-of-state/\">Brown said last year\u003c/a>. “I like trains, and I like high-speed trains even better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said Tuesday that he has “nothing but respect for Governor Brown’s and Governor Schwarzenegger’s ambitious vision.” But he derided the current plan for a train from San Francisco to Los Angeles, saying it “would cost too much and take too long.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Newsom embraced a more limited rail line, from Merced to Bakersfield. He also announced a new chairman for the rail authority, Lenny Mendonca, and a plan to post rail spending publicly online, a step meant to hold the administration accountable for cost overruns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans, long opposed to the new train, welcomed Newsom’s tack. State Sen. Shannon Grove of Bakersfield, who will soon take over as the Senate Republican leader, thanked Newsom for scaling back the project and making spending on it more transparent. “That was very responsible,” she said. “I’m pleasantly surprised.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Water\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Newsom also wants to scale back Brown’s controversial plan to carve two massive tunnels through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to move water to Southern California. Instead, as he said during the campaign, and reiterated in his speech, he \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-skelton-john-cox-gavin-newsom-california-governor-debate-20181011-story.html\">wants to build one tunnel.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was quickly embraced by Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, who said, “I’ve been skeptical of the two-tunnel approach for a while. Rethinking it and retooling it makes a lot of sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help carry out Newsom’s vision, the governor appointed \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/about_us/board_members/\">Joaquin Esquivel\u003c/a> as the new chair of the state water board, replacing Brown’s pick, Felicia Marcus.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Education\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Newsom and Brown have very different views when it comes to keeping track of how students are performing in California’s public schools. Brown repeatedly rejected the idea of developing a database to track student performance over time, saying he disagreed with a focus on test scores and feared the data could be abused to support prejudice. Newsom\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/can-california-afford-newsom-education-plan/\"> is embracing\u003c/a> a long-term student database as a way to measure which programs advance student learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need clear and achievable standards of transparency, more information sharing, and accountability for all public schools,” he said in his speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom used the speech to announce his pick to lead the state Board of Education, naming \u003ca href=\"https://learningpolicyinstitute.org/person/linda-darling-hammond\">Linda Darling-Hammond\u003c/a> to the post. A former Stanford professor, she is an expert in teacher training and has chaired the state’s Commission on Teacher Credentialing for the last eight years.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Housing & homelessness\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Tackling California’s extraordinarily high cost of housing — and the related epidemic of homelessness — was never a top priority for Brown. Even as he left office, he said he didn’t think there was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675647260/transcript-nprs-full-interview-with-california-gov-jerry-brown\">much the state could do\u003c/a> to make homes more affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom wants to change that by holding cities accountable for building affordable housing. He already \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/will-dems-neutralize-huntington-beach-housing-suit/\">sued the city of Huntington Beach\u003c/a> for not building enough, and said in his speech that he wants to meet with 47 other cities that aren’t meeting their housing requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also announced that he is establishing a new commission on homelessness, to be led by Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gavin Newsom used his \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/newsom-state-of-the-state-annotated/\">State of the State speech\u003c/a> Tuesday to make his strongest showing yet that Jerry Brown is no longer in charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He proposed scaling back two of Brown’s legacy projects — a high-speed train and a pair of tunnels to move water north to south. He rescinded Brown’s deployment of California National Guard troops to the Mexican border. And he voiced support for education and housing policies that Brown generally stayed away from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s no shock that Newsom is carving his own path. California’s last several governors took office vowing to right the perceived wrongs of their predecessors. Brown himself, in his first term, was a change agent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they were Democrats replacing Republicans, or vice versa. Newsom is the first Democrat to follow a Democrat into the California governor’s office in more than a century — and friendship between the Brown and Newsom families \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/commentary/gavin-newsoms-keeping-it-all-in-the-family/\">goes back generations\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/gavin-newsom-transition-jerry-brown/\">creates a challenge\u003c/a> other recent governors have not faced: Newsom must pay homage to the legacy of his predecessor while also establishing his own vision. It’s not an easy needle to thread — as evidenced by Newsom’s response when asked if he is breaking away from the course Brown set in his two terms in office:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re building on a lot of the work that’s been done,” he said in a brief interview after the speech. “We’re just being more sober about it, more deliberative about it, more focused, more transparent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this early stage in his governorship, here are five key ways Newsom has sought to differentiate himself:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Border Patrol\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Early last year, President Trump asked border-state governors to beef up their National Guard troops along the Mexican border. Brown responded by saying California troops wouldn’t enforce immigration laws or “build a new wall.” \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/trump_california/gavin-newsom-says-hes-refuse-trump-on-sending-national-guard-to-the-border/\">But he agreed\u003c/a> to add 400 troops, saying they would focus on combating transnational crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/newsletters/national-guard-newsom-state-of-state-kamala-harris-caltrans-homeless/\">rolled back Brown’s order\u003c/a> this week, reassigning most of the troops from the border to areas threatened by wildfire and illegal marijuana grows. Those remaining at the border “will focus on stopping criminals smuggling drugs and guns through existing border checkpoints,” Newsom said in his speech. “This is our answer to the White House: No more division, no more xenophobia and no more nativism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>High-speed rail\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Since his first stint as governor in the 1970s, Brown has advocated for a new high-speed train to connect Northern and Southern California. He took steps more recently to support the project by negotiating funding for it from California’s signature climate change program. “I make no bones about it,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2018/01/25/80125/gov-brown-to-lay-out-vision-in-last-state-of-state/\">Brown said last year\u003c/a>. “I like trains, and I like high-speed trains even better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said Tuesday that he has “nothing but respect for Governor Brown’s and Governor Schwarzenegger’s ambitious vision.” But he derided the current plan for a train from San Francisco to Los Angeles, saying it “would cost too much and take too long.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Newsom embraced a more limited rail line, from Merced to Bakersfield. He also announced a new chairman for the rail authority, Lenny Mendonca, and a plan to post rail spending publicly online, a step meant to hold the administration accountable for cost overruns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans, long opposed to the new train, welcomed Newsom’s tack. State Sen. Shannon Grove of Bakersfield, who will soon take over as the Senate Republican leader, thanked Newsom for scaling back the project and making spending on it more transparent. “That was very responsible,” she said. “I’m pleasantly surprised.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Water\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Newsom also wants to scale back Brown’s controversial plan to carve two massive tunnels through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to move water to Southern California. Instead, as he said during the campaign, and reiterated in his speech, he \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-skelton-john-cox-gavin-newsom-california-governor-debate-20181011-story.html\">wants to build one tunnel.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was quickly embraced by Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, who said, “I’ve been skeptical of the two-tunnel approach for a while. Rethinking it and retooling it makes a lot of sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help carry out Newsom’s vision, the governor appointed \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/about_us/board_members/\">Joaquin Esquivel\u003c/a> as the new chair of the state water board, replacing Brown’s pick, Felicia Marcus.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Education\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Newsom and Brown have very different views when it comes to keeping track of how students are performing in California’s public schools. Brown repeatedly rejected the idea of developing a database to track student performance over time, saying he disagreed with a focus on test scores and feared the data could be abused to support prejudice. Newsom\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/can-california-afford-newsom-education-plan/\"> is embracing\u003c/a> a long-term student database as a way to measure which programs advance student learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need clear and achievable standards of transparency, more information sharing, and accountability for all public schools,” he said in his speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom used the speech to announce his pick to lead the state Board of Education, naming \u003ca href=\"https://learningpolicyinstitute.org/person/linda-darling-hammond\">Linda Darling-Hammond\u003c/a> to the post. A former Stanford professor, she is an expert in teacher training and has chaired the state’s Commission on Teacher Credentialing for the last eight years.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Housing & homelessness\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Tackling California’s extraordinarily high cost of housing — and the related epidemic of homelessness — was never a top priority for Brown. Even as he left office, he said he didn’t think there was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675647260/transcript-nprs-full-interview-with-california-gov-jerry-brown\">much the state could do\u003c/a> to make homes more affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom wants to change that by holding cities accountable for building affordable housing. He already \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/will-dems-neutralize-huntington-beach-housing-suit/\">sued the city of Huntington Beach\u003c/a> for not building enough, and said in his speech that he wants to meet with 47 other cities that aren’t meeting their housing requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also announced that he is establishing a new commission on homelessness, to be led by Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It all spilled over this week at a hearing in Paradise over the new camping ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some residents raised unfounded accusations that, by taking the federal money for cleanup, local officials would use eminent domain to build a fancier new town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judy Jones, the mayor of Paradise, said the town doesn’t have any choice: “Either we do this and get our town cleaned up, or we don’t, and $1.7 billion to clean up the town goes away. We’re not making the rules,” Jones said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they don’t temporarily ban people from camping and the debris removal gets delayed, Jones said there are much bigger consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we don’t do it, our town will look like a war zone for the next 20 years because we are broke,” Jones said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor isn’t exaggerating. Paradise and the other destroyed communities around it really do still look like a war zone, even three months after the Camp Fire. And there’s fear that more people will give up on rebuilding and leave the area altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people aren’t returning because of crap like that,” said Martha Bryant, who was born and raised in Paradise. “We’ve been through hell — absolute hell.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smoking a cigarette to calm her nerves, she said people here should be left to make their own choices. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s their property.

We don’t need other people — the county and everybody else — telling us how we should live our lives,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FEMA said they’re committed to getting the cleanup done as quickly and safely as possible. But the monumental debris removal from almost 19,000 destroyed structures is estimated to take at least a year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There still are folks who are committed to sticking it out. Karen Roberds lost her home, cars and prized motorcycles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We bought up here in 2002, and so it’s our home. It’s our retirement. It’s our community,” Roberds said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said people came up here to escape the city, and these mountain communities should and will rebuild.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is what I want to grow old knowing — that I helped put this back together,” Roberds said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Yet Another Setback\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new temporary ban on camping on burnt out properties isn’t popular.

They load up a pickup a few times and haul the debris away to the dump. At least that’s how they remember it being in 2008 after the last wildfire; but this time around, the clean-up process is not the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference is the danger presented by the amount of debris after nearly 19,000 structures were reduced to ash by the Camp Fire. Disaster response officials on the ground say the daunting clean up is on a scale that this country has not dealt with since 9/11. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Anderson lost his home in last fall’s Camp Fire, plus a couple of trailers and six cars.

It all spilled over this week at a hearing in Paradise over the new camping ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some residents raised unfounded accusations that, by taking the federal money for cleanup, local officials would use eminent domain to build a fancier new town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judy Jones, the mayor of Paradise, said the town doesn’t have any choice: “Either we do this and get our town cleaned up, or we don’t, and $1.7 billion to clean up the town goes away. We’re not making the rules,” Jones said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they don’t temporarily ban people from camping and the debris removal gets delayed, Jones said there are much bigger consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we don’t do it, our town will look like a war zone for the next 20 years because we are broke,” Jones said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor isn’t exaggerating. Paradise and the other destroyed communities around it really do still look like a war zone, even three months after the Camp Fire. And there’s fear that more people will give up on rebuilding and leave the area altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people aren’t returning because of crap like that,” said Martha Bryant, who was born and raised in Paradise. “We’ve been through hell — absolute hell.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smoking a cigarette to calm her nerves, she said people here should be left to make their own choices. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s their property. They’re adults. They know the risks. We don’t need other people — the county and everybody else — telling us how we should live our lives,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FEMA said they’re committed to getting the cleanup done as quickly and safely as possible. But the monumental debris removal from almost 19,000 destroyed structures is estimated to take at least a year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There still are folks who are committed to sticking it out. Karen Roberds lost her home, cars and prized motorcycles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We bought up here in 2002, and so it’s our home. It’s our retirement. It’s our community,” Roberds said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said people came up here to escape the city, and these mountain communities should and will rebuild.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is what I want to grow old knowing — that I helped put this back together,” Roberds said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Yet Another Setback\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new temporary ban on camping on burnt out properties isn’t popular. But not everyone is fighting it so vocally. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One ridge over from Paradise, rural Concow hasn’t gotten as much media attention. It’s a lot smaller but, three months after the Camp Fire, the scale of the destruction here is still a shock to see. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Down a dirt driveway, Chuck Huff and his son were picking up blackened sticks and burnt brush, throwing them into a pile. Friendly and soft spoken, wearing a ball cap for shade while he works, Huff is the main caregiver for his 19-year-old son, Casey, who’s developmentally disabled. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725046\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/img_0431-6d3c4850acd6f81ddd76cab29d77f13fb023a1c0-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Many of the lots in the burned out towns above Chico still have the charred remains of cars that need to be cleared out.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11725046\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/img_0431-6d3c4850acd6f81ddd76cab29d77f13fb023a1c0-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/img_0431-6d3c4850acd6f81ddd76cab29d77f13fb023a1c0-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/img_0431-6d3c4850acd6f81ddd76cab29d77f13fb023a1c0-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/img_0431-6d3c4850acd6f81ddd76cab29d77f13fb023a1c0-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/img_0431-6d3c4850acd6f81ddd76cab29d77f13fb023a1c0.jpg 1827w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Many of the lots in the burned out towns above Chico still have the charred remains of cars that need to be cleared out. \u003ccite>(Alisa Barba/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Basically we’re cleaning brush,” he explained. “It’s burnt down. We lived through the 2008 fires and we didn’t realize how quick brush is going to grow and overtake.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huff wiped the sweat off his forehead and turned to look at what’s left of his fathers’s home on the hill above. “Basically right up there where the suburban is, their place burned down in 2008. They had a new mobile home put in.” When the Camp Fire roared through last November, Huff’s elderly father couldn’t get out. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It burnt down again. And unfortunately my father burnt with it,” said Huff. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The home that he and his wife and son lived in over in Paradise also burned to the ground in November. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their story is just one of many harrowing stories of victims in this huge disaster.

It’s his dream location to raise a family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re next to this progressive, urban city,” O’Neal said. “Yet we’re in the middle of a nature park.” But there’s one big problem: all the empty homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Neal’s neighborhood is filled with vacant houses. Out of the roughly 350 homes, he estimates only 20 or 30 have someone living in them on most weekdays.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘It’s like the aliens have come and abducted everybody except for a couple of houses.’\u003ccite>Steve O’Neal\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“It’s like the aliens have come and abducted everybody except for a couple of houses,” O’Neal said. “Stinson has really become a short-term rental community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stinson Beach and Bolinas have always been popular vacation destinations, but O’Neal says now with services like Homeaway, VRBO and Airbnb, there are more short-term vacation rentals than ever before. And he thinks that’s making it even harder for local families to find housing for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communities around California share O’Neal’s concern that websites like VRBO and Airbnb are allowing landlords to turn long-term housing for locals into short-term vacation rentals for tourists. However, it’s difficult for communities to get a clear picture of the extent and impact of these rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short-term rental services don’t publicize all of their data, and local governments are not usually given access to the addresses and names of people renting out their homes. San Francisco is an outlier. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11435714/san-francisco-and-airbnb-reach-agreement-to-settle-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">After a four-year legal battle\u003c/a>, the city got the companies to give them a list of hosts. San Francisco has hired staff now to oversee the short-term rentals. Other local governments have turned to outside companies, like Host Compliance, to gather data on the short-term vacation rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Stinson Beach and Bolinas, Steve O’Neal took the job on himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Neal used to live in San Francisco.
