"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.",

"labelTerm": {},
"content": "\u003cp>California’s middle class is reaching a breaking point. Especially when it comes to the high cost of housing. So says the state’s new governor, Gavin Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Housing. This is the issue,” Newsom said at a press conference earlier this month, unveiling his \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/FullBudgetSummary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first budget proposal as governor\u003c/a>. “Unless we get serious about it, this state will continue to lose its middle class, and the dream will be limited to fewer and fewer people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Middle-class Californians could find some relief under Newsom’s $209 billion budget, which includes new spending aimed at getting cities to approve more housing. Other proposals could bring down the cost of health care and higher education for Californians who currently make too much to qualify for state help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But middle-class California families won’t find much help shouldering other expenses, like the looming cost of caring for aging family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What does “middle-class” even mean in California?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a state where families of four earning up to $117,400 meet the federal government’s definition of “low-income” in \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/30/us/bay-area-housing-market.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">certain regions\u003c/a>, there may be no definitive answer on what qualifies as “middle-class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to a recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/09/06/the-american-middle-class-is-stable-in-size-but-losing-ground-financially-to-upper-income-families/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pew Research Center analysis\u003c/a> of government wage data, families of four in California can be considered middle-class if they make anywhere between $59,702 and $179,105 per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Direct subsidies in the governor’s budget tend to go toward Californians making less. Newsom noted that no state has a higher \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/2018/09/12/california_still_has_the_nations_highest_poverty_rate_blame_housing_costs.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poverty rate\u003c/a> than California. He wants to try to lower it by giving higher tax refunds to full-time workers earning up to $15 an hour through an expanded version of the state’s earned income tax credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also proposing a large boost in spending to subsidize the development of affordable housing for low-income residents. His budget calls for increasing the state’s low-income housing tax credit from $80 million to $500 million per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget also includes a $500-million bump to the California Housing Finance Agency’s mixed‑income loan program, which finances developments that include units for moderate-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/SrWC9XnKPKI?start=3865\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Housing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The governor’s budget doesn’t propose similar housing subsidies for most middle-class Californians. Matthew Lewis, director of communications for the pro-housing group \u003ca href=\"https://cayimby.org/about/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California YIMBY\u003c/a>, said that approach makes sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a matter of policy, you don’t provide subsidies to people who are making over $80,000 a year,” said Lewis. “But in California, that’s the middle class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis doesn’t think Newsom can subsidize his way toward a solution to the state’s housing crisis.
