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.

"content": "\u003cp>On a recent Friday night, roommates Jason Jones and Tamiko Panzella were hanging out in the Oakland apartment they shared, laughing about an epic gym workout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get there and we have to take our shoes and socks off,” Jones said, laughing. “I’m like, oh no, she got me into yoga. She tricked me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What made the yoga session jarring was that it was Jones’ first full day of freedom after more than a decade behind bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yeah they tell me to get into Downward Dog,” Jones said, as Panzella chuckled. “That’s the one position you don’t want to be in, in prison. The second day out! I look over there and she’s dying laughing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one level, it’s all normal, life-with-roommates kind of stuff, but this is new for Jones, 35.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He recently was released on parole, serving nearly 14 years in a series of California prisons for felony assault with a deadly weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones and Panzella are part of a first-of-its-kind program that’s providing vitally needed housing for inmates released from prison. The program also aims to break down misconceptions and fear surrounding the formerly incarcerated in a nation that \u003ca href=\"http://www.prisonstudies.org/highest-to-lowest/prison-population-total?field_region_taxonomy_tid=All\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">imprisons more people than any other\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Homecoming Project in California’s Alameda County is matching prisoners being released after long sentences with homeowners and renters, who want to take part in the experiment. The nonprofit behind the program pays the former inmates’ rent for six months and actively supports the partnership.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘It’s the first time I felt like I’m actually part of a family, you know what I mean?” said Jones.’\u003ccite>Jason Jones, former inmate\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Call it the social justice arm of the sharing economy. “The sharing economy with a conscience, with values,” said Alex Busansky, a former prosecutor and Justice Department lawyer. He now runs \u003ca href=\"https://impactjustice.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Impact Justice\u003c/a>, the group behind the novel housing initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Homecoming Project provides cash subsidies to homeowners in exchange for renting a room to a former inmate, Busansky said. It is similar to how Airbnb allows people to monetize their extra living spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For people getting out of prison, the penalty hasn’t ended and re-entry is its own obstacle course that everybody has to navigate,” Busansky said. “Housing is essential to being able to get through that obstacle course: If you don’t have a place to sleep, to shower, to keep your things, it’s very difficult to think about doing anything else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How it works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Finding stable, affordable housing — especially in the San Francisco Bay Area — is often one of the biggest barriers to ex-inmates, along with finding a decent job and getting their life back on track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the nation, most inmates getting out after serving a lengthy sentence are offered some kind of transitional housing or a slot in a halfway house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That usually involves communal living in cramped quarters with other ex-convicts. Often, there are strict curfews, limits on visitors and other prison-like rules and restrictions. Some former inmates chafe at those limits, because it can limit their ability to reconnect with family or find a job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this program has none of that. Participants come and go as they please. Issues that arise are worked out like any normal roommate situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Project Homecoming says you’re a person and we’re going to treat you like a person and give you the footholds and the scaffolding to be able to come back home and to be a full member of society just like anybody else,” Busansky said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ex-inmates and home hosts are both carefully screened, through interviews and home visits, to make sure it’s a good match. Hosts agree to rent their space for at least six months. There is training for the hosts before anyone gets a key to the home and follow-up support for all of them on the often unique and formidable challenges facing the formerly imprisoned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We take a hard look at people’s pasts,” said the program’s coordinator, Terah Lawyer, who, as a formerly incarcerated woman, knows about the challenges of transitioning back from prison. “We have to look at their past as an indicator of what they’ve become over time. Most of our hosts are familiar with redemption and change and want to be a part of helping be the stepping stone for someone’s second chance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the experiment is small. It launched just a few months ago with six male ex-convicts paired with local hosts — couples and families — around the Bay Area. Impact Justice hopes to expand it to 25 participants by the end of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Panzella said she was initially apprehensive. But she had volunteered at a local prison and knew the challenges facing the formerly incarcerated. The more she learned, the more she and her boyfriend became excited to take part in the pilot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because it’s not just working with the person in front of you,” Panzella said. “If it’s successful, this is something that could be replicated” in other American cities for smooth re-entry for former prisoners. In the United States, \u003ca href=\"https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2018.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than 600,000 people\u003c/a> are released from prison every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The larger goal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A larger and perhaps more elusive goal is to demystify and to humanize the often abstract debates around criminal justice reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For many people, the story of prison in America is not a story they know,” said Busansky. “They don’t know people who are in prison or people who are getting out of prison.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Busansky said the biggest obstacle to growing the program was finding enough hosts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s fear,” said Busansky. “There’s apprehension, a sense of the unknown. It’s hard to tell people, ‘This is a great idea and you should try it; bring a stranger getting out of prison into your home.’ Not a conversation that most people are used to having.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s one Busansky believes America has to have — especially now — as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2018/05/21/trump-prison-reform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">growing bipartisan\u003c/a> national movement of \u003ca href=\"https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2018/04/18/philadelphia-da-larry-krasner-incarceration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">progressive district attorneys\u003c/a>, reform groups and businesses work to unwind decades of drug war-fueled mass incarceration.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13843559/in-this-san-quentin-class-inmates-write-their-ways-into-better-futures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In This San Quentin Class, Inmates Write Their Way Into a Better Future\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13843559/in-this-san-quentin-class-inmates-write-their-ways-into-better-futures\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/20110917_1100E-1180x664.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>One recent report estimated former inmates were almost \u003ca href=\"https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/housing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10 times more likely\u003c/a> to become homeless than the general population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d love to increase our host numbers, but we can’t just say ‘Yes’ to anyone and everyone,” Lawyer said. “We’re not going to house people in unsafe neighborhoods that are not nurturing” or would put ex-inmates at greater risk for re-offending or falling back into old habits, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Part of a family’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Jones grew up in Tulare, a mostly farming and dairy city in California’s Central Valley. His path to prison is a familiar one: Absent parents and little oversight led to a cycle of police trouble and being in and out of foster care and group homes starting around age 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the households I’ve been in consisted of some kind of abuse either mentally, verbally, physically — whatever it was, or some type of drug use in the household,” he said. He called growing up “a horrible experience” and that he started to not trust people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones said he felt like one of the lucky ones. Most inmates released from the California prison system got just $200 and were sent off to figure things out on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones had much more than that: He learned how to code with the backing of \u003ca href=\"https://thelastmile.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Last Mile\u003c/a>, a computer tech and business training program for inmates. He had a software job waiting for him with the pop culture movie, games and TV website \u003ca href=\"https://www.fandom.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fandom\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he didn’t have a home to go back to and initially had reservations about the Homecoming Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was like, man, this feel like adult foster care, like I’m getting adopted again,” he said. “Going into a stranger’s household, getting judged all over again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a few short months he and hosts Panzella and her boyfriend, Joe Klein, have become genuine friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel kind of weird even saying we’re in a ‘program’ because it doesn’t really feel like that,” Panzella said. “I think we just have a really strong friendship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones agreed. He called it one of the only stable homes he has ever known. He recently spent the holiday season with Panzella’s family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organizers said the key difference with this program and others is that former inmates get to see and experience the day-to-day life of people on the outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re in the community — in someone’s home — able to watch how they buy groceries, clean their home, live a normal life, get up go to work and come home enjoy a TV show,” said Lawyer. “What that really looks like in real time is essential as an example to our participants, who have been completely out of society for 10-plus years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Panzella and Klein have been with Jones through a dizzying number of firsts since he left prison, including going to the beach, to a bowling alley, using a smartphone, getting on social media and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t know what to order,” said Jones on his experience of seeing some restaurant menus that made his head spin. “I’m just like I don’t know what this food is like. I grew up eating burritos and pizza pockets at a liquor store, bologna sandwiches and Top Ramen.” Jones has enjoyed eating crab dumplings and Korean BBQ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones has reunited with a teenage son and a daughter. But he’s still trying to reconnect and get custody of another daughter in his hometown of Tulare.

The program also aims to break down misconceptions and fear surrounding the formerly incarcerated in a nation that \u003ca href=\"http://www.prisonstudies.org/highest-to-lowest/prison-population-total?field_region_taxonomy_tid=All\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">imprisons more people than any other\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Homecoming Project in California’s Alameda County is matching prisoners being released after long sentences with homeowners and renters, who want to take part in the experiment. The nonprofit behind the program pays the former inmates’ rent for six months and actively supports the partnership.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘It’s the first time I felt like I’m actually part of a family, you know what I mean?” said Jones.’\u003ccite>Jason Jones, former inmate\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Call it the social justice arm of the sharing economy. “The sharing economy with a conscience, with values,” said Alex Busansky, a former prosecutor and Justice Department lawyer. He now runs \u003ca href=\"https://impactjustice.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Impact Justice\u003c/a>, the group behind the novel housing initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Homecoming Project provides cash subsidies to homeowners in exchange for renting a room to a former inmate, Busansky said. It is similar to how Airbnb allows people to monetize their extra living spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For people getting out of prison, the penalty hasn’t ended and re-entry is its own obstacle course that everybody has to navigate,” Busansky said. “Housing is essential to being able to get through that obstacle course: If you don’t have a place to sleep, to shower, to keep your things, it’s very difficult to think about doing anything else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How it works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Finding stable, affordable housing — especially in the San Francisco Bay Area — is often one of the biggest barriers to ex-inmates, along with finding a decent job and getting their life back on track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the nation, most inmates getting out after serving a lengthy sentence are offered some kind of transitional housing or a slot in a halfway house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That usually involves communal living in cramped quarters with other ex-convicts. Often, there are strict curfews, limits on visitors and other prison-like rules and restrictions. Some former inmates chafe at those limits, because it can limit their ability to reconnect with family or find a job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this program has none of that. Participants come and go as they please. Issues that arise are worked out like any normal roommate situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Project Homecoming says you’re a person and we’re going to treat you like a person and give you the footholds and the scaffolding to be able to come back home and to be a full member of society just like anybody else,” Busansky said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ex-inmates and home hosts are both carefully screened, through interviews and home visits, to make sure it’s a good match. Hosts agree to rent their space for at least six months. There is training for the hosts before anyone gets a key to the home and follow-up support for all of them on the often unique and formidable challenges facing the formerly imprisoned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We take a hard look at people’s pasts,” said the program’s coordinator, Terah Lawyer, who, as a formerly incarcerated woman, knows about the challenges of transitioning back from prison. “We have to look at their past as an indicator of what they’ve become over time. Most of our hosts are familiar with redemption and change and want to be a part of helping be the stepping stone for someone’s second chance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the experiment is small. It launched just a few months ago with six male ex-convicts paired with local hosts — couples and families — around the Bay Area. Impact Justice hopes to expand it to 25 participants by the end of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Panzella said she was initially apprehensive. But she had volunteered at a local prison and knew the challenges facing the formerly incarcerated. The more she learned, the more she and her boyfriend became excited to take part in the pilot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because it’s not just working with the person in front of you,” Panzella said. “If it’s successful, this is something that could be replicated” in other American cities for smooth re-entry for former prisoners. In the United States, \u003ca href=\"https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2018.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than 600,000 people\u003c/a> are released from prison every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The larger goal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A larger and perhaps more elusive goal is to demystify and to humanize the often abstract debates around criminal justice reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For many people, the story of prison in America is not a story they know,” said Busansky. “They don’t know people who are in prison or people who are getting out of prison.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Busansky said the biggest obstacle to growing the program was finding enough hosts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s fear,” said Busansky. “There’s apprehension, a sense of the unknown. It’s hard to tell people, ‘This is a great idea and you should try it; bring a stranger getting out of prison into your home.’ Not a conversation that most people are used to having.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s one Busansky believes America has to have — especially now — as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2018/05/21/trump-prison-reform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">growing bipartisan\u003c/a> national movement of \u003ca href=\"https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2018/04/18/philadelphia-da-larry-krasner-incarceration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">progressive district attorneys\u003c/a>, reform groups and businesses work to unwind decades of drug war-fueled mass incarceration.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13843559/in-this-san-quentin-class-inmates-write-their-ways-into-better-futures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In This San Quentin Class, Inmates Write Their Way Into a Better Future\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13843559/in-this-san-quentin-class-inmates-write-their-ways-into-better-futures\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/20110917_1100E-1180x664.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>One recent report estimated former inmates were almost \u003ca href=\"https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/housing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10 times more likely\u003c/a> to become homeless than the general population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d love to increase our host numbers, but we can’t just say ‘Yes’ to anyone and everyone,” Lawyer said. “We’re not going to house people in unsafe neighborhoods that are not nurturing” or would put ex-inmates at greater risk for re-offending or falling back into old habits, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Part of a family’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Jones grew up in Tulare, a mostly farming and dairy city in California’s Central Valley. His path to prison is a familiar one: Absent parents and little oversight led to a cycle of police trouble and being in and out of foster care and group homes starting around age 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the households I’ve been in consisted of some kind of abuse either mentally, verbally, physically — whatever it was, or some type of drug use in the household,” he said. He called growing up “a horrible experience” and that he started to not trust people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones said he felt like one of the lucky ones. Most inmates released from the California prison system got just $200 and were sent off to figure things out on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones had much more than that: He learned how to code with the backing of \u003ca href=\"https://thelastmile.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Last Mile\u003c/a>, a computer tech and business training program for inmates. He had a software job waiting for him with the pop culture movie, games and TV website \u003ca href=\"https://www.fandom.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fandom\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he didn’t have a home to go back to and initially had reservations about the Homecoming Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was like, man, this feel like adult foster care, like I’m getting adopted again,” he said. “Going into a stranger’s household, getting judged all over again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a few short months he and hosts Panzella and her boyfriend, Joe Klein, have become genuine friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel kind of weird even saying we’re in a ‘program’ because it doesn’t really feel like that,” Panzella said. “I think we just have a really strong friendship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones agreed. He called it one of the only stable homes he has ever known. He recently spent the holiday season with Panzella’s family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organizers said the key difference with this program and others is that former inmates get to see and experience the day-to-day life of people on the outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re in the community — in someone’s home — able to watch how they buy groceries, clean their home, live a normal life, get up go to work and come home enjoy a TV show,” said Lawyer. “What that really looks like in real time is essential as an example to our participants, who have been completely out of society for 10-plus years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Panzella and Klein have been with Jones through a dizzying number of firsts since he left prison, including going to the beach, to a bowling alley, using a smartphone, getting on social media and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t know what to order,” said Jones on his experience of seeing some restaurant menus that made his head spin. “I’m just like I don’t know what this food is like. I grew up eating burritos and pizza pockets at a liquor store, bologna sandwiches and Top Ramen.” Jones has enjoyed eating crab dumplings and Korean BBQ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones has reunited with a teenage son and a daughter. But he’s still trying to reconnect and get custody of another daughter in his hometown of Tulare. She is now in foster care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Jones, coming back has been complicated and difficult, but his new roommates — with support from Impact Justice — have helped him navigate it all. “It’s the first time I felt like I’m actually part of a family, you know what I mean?” said Jones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of the program is something he didn’t expect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>A panel of Bay Area elected officials endorsed an ambitious housing plan early Friday morning that advances a broad set of proposals to address the region’s affordability crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After nearly three hours of heated public comment, the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) executive board voted 21-9 in favor of the\u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/our-work/plans-projects/casa-committee-house-bay-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Committee to House the Bay Area Compact\u003c/a>, referred to as CASA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 10-point plan recommends a broad mix of strategies, from regional rent caps to denser development near transit centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday’s vote was nonbinding: Most of the ideas need approval from the state Legislature before any actual changes take place. Some of them, including a mandate for \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB50\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">denser housing around transit\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">emergency aid for tenants\u003c/a>, have already been introduced as bills in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the vote to direct ABAG president David Rabbitt to sign the compact was nonetheless controversial. Dozens of elected officials and members of the public packed into the meeting to criticize it as government overreach and a misguided effort to force suburbs to become more dense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That the CASA committee could come up with a product that 97 percent of Bay Area cities think is a terrible idea proves that a public agency is capable of building consensus,\" said Cupertino Mayor Steven Scharf, who opposes the plan. \"Unfortunately it's not the kind of consensus we really want.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The divide also foreshadows the balancing act state lawmakers now have to perform, as they consider turning these proposals into enforceable policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leslye Corsiglia, a Silicon Valley affordable housing advocate who co-chaired the committee that created the CASA plan, noted that while far from perfect, it represents a set of compromises that will hopefully address the Bay Area's growing housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know that for everyone involved, there are things that everyone likes, and things that they hold their nose at,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/thehardask/status/1086136155341344769\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the Great Recession ended in 2010, the Bay Area has added 722,000 jobs but constructed only 106,000 housing units, the compact notes, an imbalance that's led to widespread displacement and crippling congestion, as more residents are forced to move farther away from their jobs. The 15-year plan calls for producing 35,000 housing units a year in the Bay Area, with about 14,000 of them affordable to lower-income households. It also recommends preserving 30,000 affordable units, and protecting 300,000 lower-income households from displacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corsiglia group's, the Committee to House the Bay Area, includes elected officials, developers and tenant advocates charged with creating a \"15-year emergency policy package to confront the region's housing crisis head-on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Central to the plan, which took upward of 18 months to draft, is the recommendation to create a regional housing entity with the authority to levy taxes and issue bonds to fund the construction of new affordable housing units, as well as administer the financial aid outlined in the compact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Metropolitan Transportation Commission director Steve Heminger, who also signed the compact after his board overwhelmingly approved it in December, said he hoped the new agency would be created in time to place a revenue-generating measure on the 2020 ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need a significant amount of new authority and new revenue to deliver on a solution to the housing crisis,\" Heminger said. \"And for that you gotta go to Sacramento.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compact endorses state action to create minimum density requirements near transit, (similar to Senate Bill 50, recently proposed by state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco) and increase the number of projects eligible for expedited review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also proposes a regionwide cap on rent increases, and recommends creating a supply of emergency cash and legal assistance to tenants facing eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An amendment added by Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez asks state lawmakers to go further in protecting tenants -- including a request that the just-cause eviction provisions in the plan take effect immediately, rather than after a one-year waiting period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan's backers hope the 10 proposals will be pursued concurrently in the state Legislature, although there's little guarantee that will happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heminger argued that grouping the individual proposals together gives them a better chance of becoming law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The waters are pretty stormy in Sacramento when it comes to this subject,\" he said. \"I think it’s probably better in a storm to be in a boat and not in the open water.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

The 15-year plan calls for producing 35,000 housing units a year in the Bay Area, with about 14,000 of them affordable to lower-income households. It also recommends preserving 30,000 affordable units, and protecting 300,000 lower-income households from displacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corsiglia group's, the Committee to House the Bay Area, includes elected officials, developers and tenant advocates charged with creating a \"15-year emergency policy package to confront the region's housing crisis head-on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Central to the plan, which took upward of 18 months to draft, is the recommendation to create a regional housing entity with the authority to levy taxes and issue bonds to fund the construction of new affordable housing units, as well as administer the financial aid outlined in the compact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Metropolitan Transportation Commission director Steve Heminger, who also signed the compact after his board overwhelmingly approved it in December, said he hoped the new agency would be created in time to place a revenue-generating measure on the 2020 ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need a significant amount of new authority and new revenue to deliver on a solution to the housing crisis,\" Heminger said. \"And for that you gotta go to Sacramento.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compact endorses state action to create minimum density requirements near transit, (similar to Senate Bill 50, recently proposed by state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco) and increase the number of projects eligible for expedited review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also proposes a regionwide cap on rent increases, and recommends creating a supply of emergency cash and legal assistance to tenants facing eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An amendment added by Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez asks state lawmakers to go further in protecting tenants -- including a request that the just-cause eviction provisions in the plan take effect immediately, rather than after a one-year waiting period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan's backers hope the 10 proposals will be pursued concurrently in the state Legislature, although there's little guarantee that will happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heminger argued that grouping the individual proposals together gives them a better chance of becoming law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The waters are pretty stormy in Sacramento when it comes to this subject,\" he said. \"I think it’s probably better in a storm to be in a boat and not in the open water.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Affordable housing and homelessness advocates have been complaining for years that they are receiving nowhere near the level of financial support they need from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s budget proposals include a major infusion of more than $1.7 billion in one-time and ongoing affordable housing cash. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>$500 million in one-time cash for local governments to combat homelessness—of that $300 million will go towards regional planning, and $200 million as awards for cities that build new shelters or permanent supportive housing\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A quintupling of ongoing cash (from $80 million to $500 million) for the state’s most important low-income housing financing tool, the low-income housing tax credit\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$500 million in one-time cash for “moderate-income” housing production, or the so-called “missing middle” of housing for California’s middle class; Newsom said he has also urged Silicon Valley firms to match this funding\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$25 million to get more homeless Californians on federal disability programs\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>“I have never seen this kind of attention paid in the budget to homelessness and affordable housing issues,” said Anya Lawler, a housing policy advocate for the Western Center on Law and Poverty. “Just the page count alone is a little unprecedented.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also said he would appoint a new homelessness czar in the next few days to help coordinate state, regional and local initiatives. Included in the budget is a policy tweak that would allow new homeless shelters to avoid prolonged environmental reviews—a regulatory hurdle that often holds up new housing plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affordable housing advocates caution that they’re waiting to see details—especially how much will actually go towards the production of new housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Newsom threatened cities that aren’t building enough housing—and cities are nervous\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Cities and the NIMBY homeowners who populate them are often blamed as the biggest obstacle to producing more low-income and market-rate housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To incentivize cities to approve more projects, Newsom has proposed $500 million in awards to cities and counties that meet new, short-term housing goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The housing quotas assigned to local governments are often laughably flawed. Beverly Hills, for example, met its state-mandate affordable housing target last year with three measly low-income units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom wants to revamp the whole housing-goal setting process. Statewide, the goals are are going to bigger than what they used to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That $500 million is the carrot, and most cities are eager to revamp the seemingly senseless way in which they’re assigned housing quotas. But along with that carrot could be a thorny stick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom proposes taking away transportation funding—including revenue generated by the recently enacted gas tax—from cities that fail to meet longer-term housing goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities are not happy. They say much of housing production is out of their control, and dependent on market conditions and developer proclivities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t set a goal that’s not achievable, and then penalize us with transportation dollars that aren’t there,” said Jason Rhine, assistant legislative director for the League of California Cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Left unmentioned: rent control, zoning reform, and that pesky ‘3.5 million units’ promise\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One number that didn’t make its way into Newsom’s first budget: 3.5 million. That’s how many new homes he has pledged California will build under his watch—a number that most housing experts say is unrealistic. The Newsom administration did not publicly estimate how many new units his new proposals would generate—perhaps an indication that the new governor is distancing himself from the figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also missing from the budget or the governor’s comments: any reference to rent control or stronger tenant protections, despite his earlier pledge that he would try to broker a compromise. In fairness, the budget unveiling might not be the appropriate venue to talk about that. But a source briefed on the budget said that while Newsom’s team expressed enthusiasm for legislators to take up rent control, they weren’t leading on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom may be taking a wait-and-see approach on the most controversial piece of housing legislation he’ll encounter this year: an attempt to force cities to allow apartment buildings to be built around transit stops. San Francisco Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener’s second attempt at “zoning reform”—which would strip cities of their ability to block denser housing in areas previously reserved for single family homes—will need Newsom’s support to actually become law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about Wiener’s new legislation, Newsom said he hadn’t read it yet—the same response he gave to questions about last year’s bill during the campaign. But he did say he “appreciates the spirit” of the bill.\u003c/p>\n\n",

East Oakland was once perceived as too far, too dangerous, too remote to be desirable to newcomers, but that’s not necessarily the case anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor is young and fresh-faced, with wire-rimmed glasses and a wide smile. He grew up in Oakland in a middle-class black family.

But a scuffle between Brooks and former Black Panther leader Elaine Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Oakland-to-pay-2-2-million-to-settle-ex-Black-13067564.php\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cost the city $2.2 million\u003c/a> in a lawsuit, leading to bad press. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several groups spent a lot of money to defeat Brooks, but some speculate that what really cost her the seat was that she was rarely visible leading up to the election, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/otisrtaylorjr/article/Where-is-Desley-Brooks-An-Oakland-13324758.php\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">even missing council meetings\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Taylor, who was also supported by Mayor Libby Schaaf, did the once unthinkable and pulled off an upset. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said one of his major priorities will be strengthening local businesses. District 6 has long suffered from the kind of economic disinvestment common to traditionally black areas in cities like Oakland. Now that money is flooding into Oakland, his constituents should get a piece of it, Taylor said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to create a strong, solid economic foundation so that District 6 and East Oakland in general becomes a thriving economic hub,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of that involves incubating local black and brown businesses, he said, something Taylor said he is already working on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new members of the City Council will be sworn in on Jan. 7, and their first official meeting is scheduled for the same day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is hard to know exactly what role either Fortunato Bas or Taylor will take up on the new council, but the two unequivocally have one thing in common: they rode a wave of frustration with the status quo to defeat incumbents.\u003c/p>\n\n",

When factoring housing costs, California's poverty rate jumped to tops in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts attributed the crunch in part to an explosion of job growth on the coast, where housing construction remained largely flat even during the national housing boom of the early 2000s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We added a ton of new jobs without adding the housing, so to some extent there was always going to be a bit of a lag in terms of how much we could ramp up housing production,\" said Ethan Elkind, director of the Climate Program at UC Berkeley Law School’s Center for Law, Energy and the Environment. \"There was really only so much I think Gov.

Median home values were the highest in the nation, and \u003ca href=\"https://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/californians-parts-state-pay-can-afford-housing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most California renters\u003c/a> were spending more than a third of their income on shelter. When factoring housing costs, California's poverty rate jumped to tops in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts attributed the crunch in part to an explosion of job growth on the coast, where housing construction remained largely flat even during the national housing boom of the early 2000s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We added a ton of new jobs without adding the housing, so to some extent there was always going to be a bit of a lag in terms of how much we could ramp up housing production,\" said Ethan Elkind, director of the Climate Program at UC Berkeley Law School’s Center for Law, Energy and the Environment. \"There was really only so much I think Gov. Brown could do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates for affordable housing thought there was much more Brown \u003cem>could\u003c/em> have done to inject dollars for low-income housing into the budget, especially as redevelopment and past bond dollars dried up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, a substantial budget investment didn't happen in the first years of Brown's second term, and the governor vetoed a 2015 bill that would have expanded the state's tax credit for affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Gov. Brown was really our primary barrier,\" said Tyrone Buckley, policy director for Housing California. \"Because he didn’t like the fiscal impact on the budget.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That changed in 2017, when Brown worked with Democrats in the Senate and Assembly to piece together a package of bills that both streamlined the approval of housing (an idea Brown had floated a year before) and raised new revenue to fund affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11712821/map-san-francisco-loses-existing-affordable-housing-almost-as-fast-as-it-builds-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MAP: San Francisco Loses Old Affordable Housing Units Almost as Fast as It Builds New Ones\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11712821/map-san-francisco-loses-existing-affordable-housing-almost-as-fast-as-it-builds-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Map.png\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>San Francisco loses more than one existing affordable housing unit for every two it creates. That’s according to data from a biannual San Francisco Planning Department analysis of the city’s affordable housing stock over the last 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The deal required a delicate balancing act, not just between spending and streamlining, but in mollifying Democrats who thought a housing deal should be given the same priority as Brown's top goal: the extension of the state's cap-and-trade market for greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As tensions mounted, Brown made a trip to Assemblyman Chiu's office, and promised that the housing package would get done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It took a little bit of time, but he and his administration spent an incredible amount of time working with us to get that group of bills where it needed to be,\" Chiu said. \"I will always be grateful for that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's work on these measures gives the governor a \"second legacy\" on housing, said Hoene, of the California Budget & Policy Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Included in that package was Senate Bill 2, which created what was long considered the \"holy grail\" of affordable housing policy: an ongoing source of revenue for the construction of affordable units, generated from a tax on real estate transfers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Senate Bill 2 was very significant,\" Hoene added. \"It makes a significant dent in trying to put a local financing source that cities and local governments can use for housing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And last year, advocates for California's homeless cheered the inclusion of $500 million in the budget to address homelessness. The money was allocated to help provide shelter and other services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was actually the largest general fund allocation to address homelessness ever,\" said Sharon Rapport, associate director of the Corporation for Supportive Housing. \"We were excited to see it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elkind, with the UC Berkeley School of Law, said Brown's administration also deserves credit for reforms pushed from the executive branch, including \u003ca href=\"http://opr.ca.gov/docs/20171127_FAQs_Nov_2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rules\u003c/a> to use the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to penalize sprawling projects that add more cars to California's roads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It remains to be seen whether the legislature and the incoming Newsom administration will back more substantive changes to zoning laws, the local regulations that govern housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Brown prepares to leave office, those local zoning laws and CEQA (often used to block or scale back new projects) have remained largely untouched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know how much his heart was truly in the kind of density that you see a lot of the housing advocates pushing for,\" said Elkind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675647260/transcript-nprs-full-interview-with-california-gov-jerry-brown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent interview\u003c/a> with National Public Radio, Brown pointed out the challenges facing any attempt to mandate more dense construction at the local level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot of resistance to changes, to density in neighborhoods that don't want density,\" he said. \"In many ways, I don't blame them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown expressed doubt that the state could do more to address housing affordability, other than wait for the market to cool down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think you can mandate lower prices because people want the value in their homes. I don't think you can build housing and pay for it by taxing hard-pressed middle-class people, among others, to pay for it,\" he added. \"If you want to come back and talk to me in four years, I assure you we're going to have the same problem that we have today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
