"content": "\u003cp>Hillary Ronen says she has used BART's 16th and Mission Station for 15 years, but what she confronted the morning after last Halloween still shocked her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ronen, who represents the Mission on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, was joining BART board member Bevan Dufty for his weekly cleanup of the station's street-level plazas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We know things are a little worse after Halloween,\" Ronen said during a meeting Wednesday of the board's Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee. \"But it was one of the most obscene and unhealthy situations that I had ever seen. ... There were used needles, there was human waste, the stench of urine was overwhelming, heaps of clothing, dead animals. I could go on and on, but I'll spare you all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That anecdote was her preamble to a hearing on conditions at the plazas, which serve both as a commute hub and as a sort of outdoor living space for residents of \u003ca href=\"https://48hills.org/2014/03/battle-16th-mission-inside-campaign-clean-plaza-build-luxury-housing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a neighborhood long known\u003c/a> for a high level of need: poverty, homelessness, substance abuse, mental illness and crime. And yes, the plazas and station complex have been notorious for their general air of chaos and filth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ronen said that she and Dufty \"have made it a crusade to change conditions at the station,\" and announced that BART was about to deliver some \"really good news.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She turned the proceedings over to Paul Oversier, BART's assistant general manager for operations, who started by saying the system's riders \"have been speaking loud and clear over the last couple of years about some of the conditions they find in our stations and even on some of our trains.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oversier said that has led the agency to revamp its cleaning department, hire more workers and reassign some from outlying, relatively low-traffic stations to the system's busy San Francisco core, including 16th Street. The net result -- and the \"really good news\" that Ronen mentioned -- was that by April the agency will have filled all 14 cleaning shifts at the station and that two cleaners will be working simultaneously during six of those 14 shifts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oversier also told the committee BART has expanded steam cleaning of the plazas from one hour to four hours a night, seven nights a week. In April, he said, the agency will pay to have the plaza surfaces deep-cleaned and sealed. That will make the nightly cleanings \"much more effective in dealing with the smells and some of the other issues that are there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Jeff Sheehy, the committee chair, said he was thankful for the steps Dufty, Ronen and BART are taking to improve things at 16th and Mission. But he said the transit agency has a much bigger problem on its hands with the large population of destitute people, including many drug users, who have taken up daytime residence in and around the Civic Center and Powell Street stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wonder what the thinking is at BART about addressing this issue of homelessness more holistically,\" he said. \"You know, my daughter will not get out at Powell Street to go skating at Yerba Buena because it's disgusting. ... And what's even worse is that it's heart-wrenching just as a human being when you have bodies, some of them partially dressed, passed out, injecting ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheehy said some BART trains now resembled \"a moving homeless shelter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What's missing is a coordinated response,\" Sheehy said, adding that he thought BART should set up its own formal homeless response program or work better with the cities it serves to provide services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can tell you both from my own experience and from my constituents that what you're doing is not working, and the trajectory is downward, not upward,\" Sheehy said. \"... What is the plan? You've got this great plan for one station ... and just cleaning when the root of the problem is this homelessness problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Respectfully, we're a transportation agency,\" Oversier answered. \"That's our charter, that's why the state created us. That said, our customers are telling us, just us you told me, that what they're encountering on our system is not acceptable to them. And frankly, they don't care whose responsibility it is. They're encountering it in our stations and on our trains and they expect us to deal with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dufty, a former member of the Board of Supervisors who later directed the city's homeless services, acknowledged Sheehy's concerns but said BART is working both within the agency and with other jurisdictions to address the issues he raised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The plan that's been presented [within BART] is very comprehensive,\" Dufty said, adding later: \"BART is not unlike anyone else. Law enforcement is not an effective response to homelessness. Housing is how you have to respond to homelessness, and that's where we really have to partner with the city and be more effective.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing's public comment segment swung to yet another of the many issues swirling around the corner of 16th and Mission -- gentrification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The northeast corner of the intersection -- now occupied by one of the BART plazas, a Walgreen's, a defunct Burger King, a produce market, a Chinese restaurant and a bar -- is the proposed site of a massive market-rate condominium development dubbed the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/10/the-monster-is-back-updated-proposal-for-project-at-16th-and-mission/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monster in the Mission\u003c/a> by neighborhood opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the public comments came from people who said they're part of the \u003ca href=\"https://plaza16.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plaza 16 Coalition\u003c/a>, a group organized five years ago to head off the condo development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Selcraig, the hearing's first public commenter, told the hearing the issues at play at 16th and Mission go far beyond the plazas' cleanliness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Selcraig, who said she works with the Mission SRO Collaborative, Dolores Street Community Services and Plaza 16, said while she welcomes the steps to improve conditions at the BART station, a history of government neglect has worked to open the door for gentrification in the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That neglect has fueled prejudice against the poor, she said, and \"allows people who have never been homeless to say and believe that homeless people are dirty and disrespectful of the environment -- which are offensive and derogatory statements.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"BART and the city of San Francisco would never be this neglectful in a majority white area,\" Selcraig said. \"Wealthy white people trash Dolores Park\" -- just a few blocks from 16th and Mission -- \"and it's immediately cleaned. This is a conversation about disparate government services and the fix that is needed for that.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

The net result -- and the \"really good news\" that Ronen mentioned -- was that by April the agency will have filled all 14 cleaning shifts at the station and that two cleaners will be working simultaneously during six of those 14 shifts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oversier also told the committee BART has expanded steam cleaning of the plazas from one hour to four hours a night, seven nights a week. In April, he said, the agency will pay to have the plaza surfaces deep-cleaned and sealed. That will make the nightly cleanings \"much more effective in dealing with the smells and some of the other issues that are there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Jeff Sheehy, the committee chair, said he was thankful for the steps Dufty, Ronen and BART are taking to improve things at 16th and Mission. But he said the transit agency has a much bigger problem on its hands with the large population of destitute people, including many drug users, who have taken up daytime residence in and around the Civic Center and Powell Street stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wonder what the thinking is at BART about addressing this issue of homelessness more holistically,\" he said. \"You know, my daughter will not get out at Powell Street to go skating at Yerba Buena because it's disgusting. ... And what's even worse is that it's heart-wrenching just as a human being when you have bodies, some of them partially dressed, passed out, injecting ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheehy said some BART trains now resembled \"a moving homeless shelter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What's missing is a coordinated response,\" Sheehy said, adding that he thought BART should set up its own formal homeless response program or work better with the cities it serves to provide services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can tell you both from my own experience and from my constituents that what you're doing is not working, and the trajectory is downward, not upward,\" Sheehy said. \"... What is the plan? You've got this great plan for one station ... and just cleaning when the root of the problem is this homelessness problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Respectfully, we're a transportation agency,\" Oversier answered. \"That's our charter, that's why the state created us. That said, our customers are telling us, just us you told me, that what they're encountering on our system is not acceptable to them. And frankly, they don't care whose responsibility it is. They're encountering it in our stations and on our trains and they expect us to deal with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dufty, a former member of the Board of Supervisors who later directed the city's homeless services, acknowledged Sheehy's concerns but said BART is working both within the agency and with other jurisdictions to address the issues he raised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The plan that's been presented [within BART] is very comprehensive,\" Dufty said, adding later: \"BART is not unlike anyone else. Law enforcement is not an effective response to homelessness. Housing is how you have to respond to homelessness, and that's where we really have to partner with the city and be more effective.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing's public comment segment swung to yet another of the many issues swirling around the corner of 16th and Mission -- gentrification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The northeast corner of the intersection -- now occupied by one of the BART plazas, a Walgreen's, a defunct Burger King, a produce market, a Chinese restaurant and a bar -- is the proposed site of a massive market-rate condominium development dubbed the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/10/the-monster-is-back-updated-proposal-for-project-at-16th-and-mission/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monster in the Mission\u003c/a> by neighborhood opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the public comments came from people who said they're part of the \u003ca href=\"https://plaza16.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plaza 16 Coalition\u003c/a>, a group organized five years ago to head off the condo development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Selcraig, the hearing's first public commenter, told the hearing the issues at play at 16th and Mission go far beyond the plazas' cleanliness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Selcraig, who said she works with the Mission SRO Collaborative, Dolores Street Community Services and Plaza 16, said while she welcomes the steps to improve conditions at the BART station, a history of government neglect has worked to open the door for gentrification in the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That neglect has fueled prejudice against the poor, she said, and \"allows people who have never been homeless to say and believe that homeless people are dirty and disrespectful of the environment -- which are offensive and derogatory statements.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And major swaths of California’s current population arrived here well after that “Golden Era” had passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, half a century later, this:\u003cbr>\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9x_GUBZgjc&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bears a striking resemblance to this:\u003cbr>\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bf5osD_J54&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Celebrity endorsements aside, there’s an increasingly pervasive feeling among those of us who actually live here that the California dream is just harder than it used to be. A recent USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times \u003ca href=\"http://www.gqrr.com/articles/2015/2/26/new-university-of-southern-california-dornsife-college-of-letters-arts-and-scienceslos-angeles-times-poll\">poll\u003c/a> found that only 17 percent of Californians believe the state’s current generation is doing better than previous ones. More than 50 percent thought younger Californians were doing worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re not wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past four decades, California middle-class incomes have stagnated: The median California family is making only marginally more now than they were in 1980. More than half of Californians born that year made less than their parents did by age 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a problem because at the same time, the state’s cost of living has exploded. A house that 50 years ago cost about three times a younger California household’s salary now costs seven times what a younger household earns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"oqKbWW2yhjid7aZHVt4iKViQxVvKWjvi\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the past half-century has been rough for middle income Californians, it’s been brutal for those lower on the income ladder. Starting in the late 1970s, California’s poverty rate crept higher than the national average. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, when cost of living is factored in, we’re the poorest state in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eulogizing the California dream has developed into its own cottage industry in recent years, with politicians of all stripes promising to restore our glory days. All too often the gloom and doom obscures objective gains the state has made in service of a sepia-toned narrative. Your average Californian is much more likely to get a college education and much less likely to be mugged today than 40 years ago. That’s a good thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But something is changing, and Californians can sense it. Here’s the data behind how four common California dreams are slipping away.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Dream of Being -- and Staying -- Middle Class\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When was the best time to be a middle-class Californian?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the late 1960s and ‘70s were pretty good years. Median family incomes rose steadily in real terms throughout the period, and by 1980 the average household was making 20 percent more than in 1967.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting in 1980, incomes for middle-class Californians essentially stagnated. By 2014, the average California family, after adjusting for inflation, was making only 8 percent more than it made three decades ago. While earnings have ticked up since then, the brutal recessions of the early 1990s and late 2000s essentially wiped out entire decades of modest income gains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/for-print-income-inequality-1hxj4811d1qr2vg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The starkest comparison is between families at the middle and less than the middle with those at the very top,” says Sarah Bohn, research fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California. “We’ve all experienced booms and busts through economic cycles, but over time the highest-income families in the state have really seen a larger growth in their opportunities relative to middle income families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That story is by no means unique to California. But it is worse here than in the rest of the country. Incomes for the median family grew at a faster clip over the past 30 years nationwide than in California. And the gap between rich and middle class is higher here than the vast majority of other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stagnating incomes and rising inequality don’t necessarily mean Californians are having a tougher time making ends meet. But the costs of staying middle-class, or jumping up the income ladder, are higher than they used to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"zgjleyuI07jMIajTImeQJrc3I9xHcBCq\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you think about what it took to make ends meet in 1967, it’s very different from what it takes to make ends meet today,” said Bohn, who specializes in income inequality trends. “Child care expenses with both parents working, medical out-of-pocket expenses, not to mention other things that are necessities that didn’t even exist in the ‘60s that you really need today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Dream of Having Your Children Do Better Than You\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Part of the allure of California has always been the possibility of making it to the “1 percent,” whether via the Gold Rush or Hollywood or Silicon Valley. And here the top-earning households are doing better than just about anywhere else in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But inequality could be linked to another disconcerting trend: the inability of younger households to do better than their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than half of California children born in 1980 were making more at age 30 than their parents did at their age. That’s the first time that percentage has slipped below 50 percent since the 1940s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/your-odds-of-out-earning-your-parents-in-california-1g43mn6kx7y6pzy\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, declining income mobility is not just a California story. Younger people across the United States are having a harder time matching their parents’ standard of living. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But younger Californians are doing notably worse than their counterparts in some other states—younger South Dakotans and Arkansans, for instance, are much more likely to be out-earning their parents than are young Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Dream of Escaping Poverty\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While middle incomes have stagnated in California over the past four decades, lower-income households have actually seen their earnings drop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you factor in the cost of living, California now has the highest poverty rate in the country. We’re worse than states such as Mississippi and Alabama. Roughly one in five Californians now struggle to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/california-the-poverty-outlier-1gqo2qnnzew7278\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That wasn’t always the case. California used to have a lower poverty rate than the national average up until the late 1970s. But poverty in California surged in the 1980s before peaking in the recession of the early 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The picture would be even bleaker if you eliminated state and federal safety net programs such as food stamps that have expanded significantly in recent years. Without those, nearly 1 in 3 Californians would be poor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Dream of Owning a Home\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Part of the California dream has always been homeownership. But that dream has become increasingly unattainable in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am very nervous that we are at a point where absent an economic downturn that kind of forces prices to drop, that we are really in an unsustainable situation,” says Carol Galante, director of the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at the University of California, Berkeley. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The lack of ability to save for a downpayment, it’s just becoming unsustainable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1969, the median sales price of a California house was about $166,000 in today’s dollars. That was about three times the average income of younger California families at the time who might be in the market for a starter home. Today, the average California home sells for over $500,000 -- seven times a younger family’s earnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/house-pricemedian-income-ratio-ca-25-35-year-olds-1h0r6rx0jmw76ek\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from the run-up in housing prices of the mid-2000s -- when lenient credit standards allowed a record percentage of Californians to own a home -- that house-price-to-income ratio is the worst it’s ever been.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Other Dimensions of the Dream -- With Some Bright Spots\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Rising income inequality, spiraling poverty, the struggles of the middle class -- beyond being total downers, these trends feel so abstract and intractable. So let’s drill down on some more specific dimensions of the California dream, and compare how things are now versus how they used to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Housing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, California is a more expensive place than it once was. And much of that is due to astronomical increases in housing costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1960, average California renters saw about 20 percent of their income go to rent. That’s up to nearly 37 percent now. The trend is even steeper for younger Californians, who are seeing nearly half their paychecks go to rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/rent-1h174939wn9d4zj\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When rents are higher, it gets tougher for renters to save money for a downpayment on a house. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That, combined with rising single-family home prices and the end of easy mortgages, has sent California’s rate of home ownership dipping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/lao-homeownership-1h984wzkvpjv4p3\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Whose Dream Is This? Demographics, Inequality and Immigration\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the reason the California dream of the ‘50s and ‘60s feels mostly white is obvious -- back then, California was mostly white. As recently as 1970, whites comprised more than 70 percent of the population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has changed dramatically. Driven by the tremendous growth of its Latino and Asian populations, California is now famously a “majority minority” state, where no ethnic group claims more than 50 percent of residents. The number of white Californians has actually dropped by about 2 million residents since 1990.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/california-population-1970-now-1h1749n3p3dd2zj\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An increasingly diverse California, however, has not translated into an increasingly equal one. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the average Asian California household has caught up to whites, both Latino and African-American families make significantly less -- with that gap only widening in the wake of the Great Recession of the late 2000s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/median-family-income-by-race-in-ca-1967-2016-1hxj481ozekr2vg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The bulk of California’s workforce is going to be young Latinos now,” said Sonja Diaz, founding director of the UCLA Latino Policy & Politics Institute. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But Latinos still lag behind in a number of socioeconomic indicators, in terms of homeownership, income gains, educational attainment, access to health care, living wage jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has always been a magnet for immigrants from far and wide. While the rate of international migration has slowed in recent years, the state still boasts the largest concentration of foreign-born residents in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/foreign-born-1h0n25d3rywj6pe\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But starting in the 1990s, California appears to have lost much of its lure to the rest of the U.S. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past two decades, California has lost 1.8 million more residents than it has gained from the rest of the country.

A recent USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times \u003ca href=\"http://www.gqrr.com/articles/2015/2/26/new-university-of-southern-california-dornsife-college-of-letters-arts-and-scienceslos-angeles-times-poll\">poll\u003c/a> found that only 17 percent of Californians believe the state’s current generation is doing better than previous ones. More than 50 percent thought younger Californians were doing worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re not wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past four decades, California middle-class incomes have stagnated: The median California family is making only marginally more now than they were in 1980. More than half of Californians born that year made less than their parents did by age 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a problem because at the same time, the state’s cost of living has exploded. A house that 50 years ago cost about three times a younger California household’s salary now costs seven times what a younger household earns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the past half-century has been rough for middle income Californians, it’s been brutal for those lower on the income ladder. Starting in the late 1970s, California’s poverty rate crept higher than the national average. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, when cost of living is factored in, we’re the poorest state in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eulogizing the California dream has developed into its own cottage industry in recent years, with politicians of all stripes promising to restore our glory days. All too often the gloom and doom obscures objective gains the state has made in service of a sepia-toned narrative. Your average Californian is much more likely to get a college education and much less likely to be mugged today than 40 years ago. That’s a good thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But something is changing, and Californians can sense it. Here’s the data behind how four common California dreams are slipping away.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Dream of Being -- and Staying -- Middle Class\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When was the best time to be a middle-class Californian?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the late 1960s and ‘70s were pretty good years. Median family incomes rose steadily in real terms throughout the period, and by 1980 the average household was making 20 percent more than in 1967.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting in 1980, incomes for middle-class Californians essentially stagnated. By 2014, the average California family, after adjusting for inflation, was making only 8 percent more than it made three decades ago. While earnings have ticked up since then, the brutal recessions of the early 1990s and late 2000s essentially wiped out entire decades of modest income gains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/for-print-income-inequality-1hxj4811d1qr2vg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The starkest comparison is between families at the middle and less than the middle with those at the very top,” says Sarah Bohn, research fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California. “We’ve all experienced booms and busts through economic cycles, but over time the highest-income families in the state have really seen a larger growth in their opportunities relative to middle income families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That story is by no means unique to California. But it is worse here than in the rest of the country. Incomes for the median family grew at a faster clip over the past 30 years nationwide than in California. And the gap between rich and middle class is higher here than the vast majority of other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stagnating incomes and rising inequality don’t necessarily mean Californians are having a tougher time making ends meet. But the costs of staying middle-class, or jumping up the income ladder, are higher than they used to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you think about what it took to make ends meet in 1967, it’s very different from what it takes to make ends meet today,” said Bohn, who specializes in income inequality trends. “Child care expenses with both parents working, medical out-of-pocket expenses, not to mention other things that are necessities that didn’t even exist in the ‘60s that you really need today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Dream of Having Your Children Do Better Than You\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Part of the allure of California has always been the possibility of making it to the “1 percent,” whether via the Gold Rush or Hollywood or Silicon Valley. And here the top-earning households are doing better than just about anywhere else in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But inequality could be linked to another disconcerting trend: the inability of younger households to do better than their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than half of California children born in 1980 were making more at age 30 than their parents did at their age. That’s the first time that percentage has slipped below 50 percent since the 1940s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/your-odds-of-out-earning-your-parents-in-california-1g43mn6kx7y6pzy\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, declining income mobility is not just a California story. Younger people across the United States are having a harder time matching their parents’ standard of living. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But younger Californians are doing notably worse than their counterparts in some other states—younger South Dakotans and Arkansans, for instance, are much more likely to be out-earning their parents than are young Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Dream of Escaping Poverty\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While middle incomes have stagnated in California over the past four decades, lower-income households have actually seen their earnings drop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you factor in the cost of living, California now has the highest poverty rate in the country. We’re worse than states such as Mississippi and Alabama. Roughly one in five Californians now struggle to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/california-the-poverty-outlier-1gqo2qnnzew7278\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That wasn’t always the case. California used to have a lower poverty rate than the national average up until the late 1970s. But poverty in California surged in the 1980s before peaking in the recession of the early 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The picture would be even bleaker if you eliminated state and federal safety net programs such as food stamps that have expanded significantly in recent years. Without those, nearly 1 in 3 Californians would be poor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Dream of Owning a Home\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Part of the California dream has always been homeownership. But that dream has become increasingly unattainable in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am very nervous that we are at a point where absent an economic downturn that kind of forces prices to drop, that we are really in an unsustainable situation,” says Carol Galante, director of the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at the University of California, Berkeley. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The lack of ability to save for a downpayment, it’s just becoming unsustainable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1969, the median sales price of a California house was about $166,000 in today’s dollars. That was about three times the average income of younger California families at the time who might be in the market for a starter home. Today, the average California home sells for over $500,000 -- seven times a younger family’s earnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/house-pricemedian-income-ratio-ca-25-35-year-olds-1h0r6rx0jmw76ek\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from the run-up in housing prices of the mid-2000s -- when lenient credit standards allowed a record percentage of Californians to own a home -- that house-price-to-income ratio is the worst it’s ever been.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Other Dimensions of the Dream -- With Some Bright Spots\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Rising income inequality, spiraling poverty, the struggles of the middle class -- beyond being total downers, these trends feel so abstract and intractable. So let’s drill down on some more specific dimensions of the California dream, and compare how things are now versus how they used to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Housing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, California is a more expensive place than it once was. And much of that is due to astronomical increases in housing costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1960, average California renters saw about 20 percent of their income go to rent. That’s up to nearly 37 percent now. The trend is even steeper for younger Californians, who are seeing nearly half their paychecks go to rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/rent-1h174939wn9d4zj\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When rents are higher, it gets tougher for renters to save money for a downpayment on a house. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That, combined with rising single-family home prices and the end of easy mortgages, has sent California’s rate of home ownership dipping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/lao-homeownership-1h984wzkvpjv4p3\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Whose Dream Is This? Demographics, Inequality and Immigration\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the reason the California dream of the ‘50s and ‘60s feels mostly white is obvious -- back then, California was mostly white. As recently as 1970, whites comprised more than 70 percent of the population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has changed dramatically. Driven by the tremendous growth of its Latino and Asian populations, California is now famously a “majority minority” state, where no ethnic group claims more than 50 percent of residents. The number of white Californians has actually dropped by about 2 million residents since 1990.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/california-population-1970-now-1h1749n3p3dd2zj\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An increasingly diverse California, however, has not translated into an increasingly equal one. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the average Asian California household has caught up to whites, both Latino and African-American families make significantly less -- with that gap only widening in the wake of the Great Recession of the late 2000s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/median-family-income-by-race-in-ca-1967-2016-1hxj481ozekr2vg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The bulk of California’s workforce is going to be young Latinos now,” said Sonja Diaz, founding director of the UCLA Latino Policy & Politics Institute. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But Latinos still lag behind in a number of socioeconomic indicators, in terms of homeownership, income gains, educational attainment, access to health care, living wage jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has always been a magnet for immigrants from far and wide. While the rate of international migration has slowed in recent years, the state still boasts the largest concentration of foreign-born residents in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/foreign-born-1h0n25d3rywj6pe\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But starting in the 1990s, California appears to have lost much of its lure to the rest of the U.S. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past two decades, California has lost 1.8 million more residents than it has gained from the rest of the country. And unlike in previous decades, that trend is persisting through good economic times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/net-domestic-migration-ca-1970-2017-1h7v4pxdv5dd2k0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Higher Education\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clark Kerr would have lots to be proud of if he were alive today. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The architect of the state’s 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education, Kerr \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/11/01/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">envisioned a world-class public university system\u003c/a> accessible to California high school students. The top one-eighth would be admitted to the University of California, which aimed to be the envy of public higher education nationwide. The top third would have a place at a California State University campus, and anyone who could benefit from higher could enroll in state-operated community colleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Partly due to Kerr’s ambitions, Californians are a lot more educated than they used to be. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The percentage of Californians with a bachelor’s degree has nearly tripled since 1960, with particularly strong gains among California women. Graduation rates at the University of California are some of the highest in recent decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/a-growingly-educated-public-1h0n25dkjy9j6pe\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But adjusted for inflation, the cost of one year of a University of California education today is seven times more than it was in the mid-1960s. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s mostly because state support for UC started dwindling in the early 2000s. At its peak, the state provided more than $26,000 per student to UC. It now provides about half that amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/uc-mandatory-costs-tuition-and-fees-in-2016-dollars-1hmr6go80yl84nl\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/state-support-uc-students-1hxj48130y5r2vg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Taxes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has a reputation as a high-tax state.

In 1964, the state sales tax totaled 4 percent. That rose to over 7 percent by the early 2000s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Economy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decline of manufacturing and the disappearance of blue-collar jobs with decent pay and good benefits is an economic narrative typically reserved for the Rust Belt. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in explaining the erosion of California’s middle class, the disappearance of manufacturing -- particularly in the defense and aerospace industries that dominated Southern California during the Cold War -- plays a central role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/industry-mix-1h8j4xjqo81r6mv\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/1990-post-industry-1h7v4pxjon8q2k0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Silicon Valley does not provide those kind of big manufacturing jobs,” said Dan Mitchell, professor emeritus at the Anderson School of Management at the University of California, Los Angeles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no equivalent of an aircraft assembly plant that you get from that.

It all goes back to the practice that came to be known as redlining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1930s, as the country was recovering from the Great Depression, the federal government wanted to encourage homeownership in cities that had suffered from waves of foreclosures. So it established the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC), to refinance mortgages at risk of default. As part of that effort, HOLC created maps of cities, to identify which neighborhoods were good investments and which were bad investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HOLC assigned each neighborhood a grade, according to the \"favorable\" and \"detrimental\" influences in the neighborhood. The presence of minority communities was among the so-called detrimental influences. Take Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood, for instance. A 1937 HOLC map of the area indicated these so-called detrimental influences: \"Odors from industries. Predominance of foreign inhabitants. Infiltration of Negroes and Orientals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11648730\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 614px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11648730 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"1008\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut.jpg 614w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut-160x263.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut-240x394.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut-375x616.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut-520x854.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An \"area description\" of an Oakland neighborhood, produced by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in 1937. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the University of Maryland T-RACES project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fruitvale and other neighborhoods given low grades were colored red on the maps, which spawned the term \"redlining.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These neighborhoods were denied access to credit because the federal government refused to guarantee mortgages and other loans that were being made in these neighborhoods,\" said Carolina Reid, an assistant professor of city and regional planning at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That, said Reid, had a profound and lasting impact. \"The policy of redlining helped facilitate the disinvestment and the growing poverty in neighborhoods like Fruitvale,\" Reid said. \"Because we saw white flight to the suburbs and then we saw families that were remaining not being able to access credit to buy a home or to invest in a small business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1960s and '70s, activists raged about the decline of cities and the influence of discriminatory lending practices. That led to the passage of a number of laws, including the Community Reinvestment Act in 1977.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CRA doesn't specifically outlaw redlining or discrimination against borrowers on the basis of race. Instead, it mandates that banks offer loans and other financial services to all communities where they do business, including low- and moderate-income areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the CRA, banks are encouraged to work with local community groups to find opportunities for loans or investments that can actually help a struggling community. In Oakland, the nonprofit Unity Council has taken on that role. With investment from banks, the Unity Council built Fruitvale Village, the transit village next to the Fruitvale BART Station. It includes 47 units of housing, restaurants, businesses and a bank branch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of investing in projects like Fruitvale Village, banks get credit for complying with the Community Reinvestment Act.

That led to the passage of a number of laws, including the Community Reinvestment Act in 1977.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CRA doesn't specifically outlaw redlining or discrimination against borrowers on the basis of race. Instead, it mandates that banks offer loans and other financial services to all communities where they do business, including low- and moderate-income areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the CRA, banks are encouraged to work with local community groups to find opportunities for loans or investments that can actually help a struggling community. In Oakland, the nonprofit Unity Council has taken on that role. With investment from banks, the Unity Council built Fruitvale Village, the transit village next to the Fruitvale BART Station. It includes 47 units of housing, restaurants, businesses and a bank branch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of investing in projects like Fruitvale Village, banks get credit for complying with the Community Reinvestment Act.

The four violations discovered in that inspection were all corrected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county's hazardous materials program found no violations during a subsequent inspection in late 2014. The agency plans to conduct a new inspection of Sims in the next month or so, according to Randy Sawyer, Contra Costa's chief environmental health and hazardous materials officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last fire inspection of the facility came in 2015, and it found no violations, according to Fire Chief Adrian Sheppard. Richmond fire investigators have yet to reveal a cause of the blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sims, in the meantime, is inviting members of the public to a town hall meeting Wednesday night to discuss the fire and the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That meeting is scheduled to take place at Nevin Community Center between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post was updated Tuesday morning to include new information from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District about notices of violation it issued against Sims Metal Management.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The four violations discovered in that inspection were all corrected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county's hazardous materials program found no violations during a subsequent inspection in late 2014.
