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. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Brown managed to extend cap and trade until 2030, with two-thirds majorities in the Senate and Assembly, including an impressive number of Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course the unexpected election of Donald Trump has vaulted Gov. Brown into something of an international celebrity, preaching the imperative of addressing climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The one area of Brown's legacy that environmentalists object to is his support of fracking. Activists have dogged him at events from time to time, unsuccessfully pushing him to change his position.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Poverty\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Brown is often criticized for not doing enough about the state's high poverty levels. But Jessica Bartholow, with the Western Center on Law and Poverty, said he's done more than he gets credit for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While he's been governor the second time, we've seen profound movement in programs serving low-income families, specifically the CalWORKS program,\" Bartholow said. She cites the repeal of the Maximum Family Grant program, which limited aid to babies born while their mothers were on welfare. Bartholow said Brown doesn't come to the table with ideas himself, but dares advocates to bring him proposals he must support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Chad Mayes (R-Yucca Valley) gives Brown more mixed reviews. He notes that, \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/california/statements/2017/jan/20/chad-mayes/true-california-has-nations-highest-poverty-rate-w/\">by some measures\u003c/a>, California has the highest poverty rate in the nation. He cites high housing, food and energy costs as contributors. But he also points to the decline in low-skill, high-paying jobs in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While it's true that we have a low unemployment rate here in California currently,\" Mayes said, \"we've got a bunch of folks that are barely able to make ends meet because there's just not enough high-paying jobs here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's administration points to California's earned income tax credit and the local control funding formula for schools as attempts to target spending and tax credits to help the poor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is still plenty for the next governor to tackle, not the least of which is the ultimate \"kick the can\" issue: Pension liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On that score, \"Governor Brown has tinkered around the edges and added some patches but no systemic and meaningful reform was enacted,\" says Sean Walsh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown always resists assessing what his legacy will be, even saying at a recent press conference that \"governors don't have legacies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But like it or not, Brown's legacy is extensive -- for better or worse, depending on your point of view -- and it will be much discussed and debated for years to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She and her family waited until the torrent died down. When they looked outside again, there were cars in her backyard, piles of suitcases and lumber.

That’s four times the amount of rain needed to trigger mud and debris flows from the Thomas Fire burn area, Laber said. “That was a really rare rainfall,” he said. “That was something you’d typically see once in 200 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Barbara County officials had been discussing the risk of mudslides in the burn zone since December. In the days before the storm, they set up two evacuation areas in Montecito: a smaller mandatory zone of 7,000 residents and a much bigger voluntary zone for 23,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They got the word out on social media and in meetings. And then on Monday, sheriff's deputies went door to door in the mandatory area telling people to leave.

Dennis Staley, who studies mudslides and debris flows for the USGS, said they can begin within minutes of the start of a heavy rain, “which makes them very difficult not only to predict when they’re going to happen, but it makes it very difficult also to get out of the way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USGS developed \u003ca href=\"https://landslides.usgs.gov/hazards/postfire_debrisflow/detail.php?objectid=178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">maps\u003c/a> of where mudslides were likely to originate in the Thomas Fire burn area, but Staley said it was very hard to guess how far they'd flow, especially once mud, boulders, debris and water enter an urban environment like Montecito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Montecito residents may have also have simply been tired of evacuating following the Thomas Fire, which raged throughout December, forcing tens of thousands from their homes.

The Thomas Fire felt scary at the time, with ash raining from the sky and the fire engines parked in every driveway during the days when the wind-driven flames and embers threatened Montecito. But looking back, she said, she and her family actually had plenty of time to prepare and evacuate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had days and days and days, and this just decimated entire neighborhoods in 30 seconds.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The bill couldn’t even get a hearing last year amid intense opposition from landlords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But looming over legislators’ heads this time around is a potential ballot \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/Title%20and%20Summary%20%2817-0041%29.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">initiative\u003c/a> supported by tenants’ rights groups that would do much of the same. If the bill stalls, experts say there’s a good chance you’ll see rent control on your November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What should your average Californian know about a rent control debate poised to gobble up so much political oxygen? Here are five key points:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>1. Under current state law, a wide swath of California’s housing stock can’t be placed under rent control.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Rent control or rent stabilization policies come in different shapes and sizes depending on the city you may find them in. Some place a hard cap on how much a landlord can raise rents year over year, others may be indexed to inflation. Currently, 15 California cities have some form of rent control on the books, including major population centers like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But current state law prohibits any locality in California from imposing rent control on properties built after 1995. That’s the year the state passed the Costa-Hawkins Act, which also prohibited cities that already had rent control laws on their books from updating them for new properties. Thus, in Los Angeles, rent control only applies to buildings constructed before 1978, and in San Francisco, rent control only applies to buildings built before 1980.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/bay-area-rent-control-laws-1g0n2on0nrd9p4y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bit of background: After some cities responded to tenants’ concerns about rising rents in the 1970s and '80s by adopting rent control ordinances, real estate interests first tried to stop them in the courts. Unsuccessful there, they focused on the Legislature. Bills to preempt local rent control would routinely pass the Assembly and then die in the Senate, held up by then-Senate President Pro Tem David Roberti, a West Hollywood Democrat. The year after he was termed out of office, Costa-Hawkins passed by a one-vote margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Bloom’s bill (as it is currently written) and the initiative would fully repeal Costa Hawkins, massively expanding the number of properties on which cities could impose rent control. That includes single-family homes, which Costa-Hawkins also excluded from rent control protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. Most economists -- left or right -- think rent control is bad.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Economists have a hard time agreeing on most things. But regardless of partisan leaning, most economists would say rent control is not great policy. Even prominent progressives like Paul Krugman have expressed opposition to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rent control is quite literally the textbook example of a “price ceiling” -- undergrad economics textbooks will often feature problem sets with questions about what’s wrong with rent control. The classic microeconomic downsides include killing the incentive to build more housing, causing landlords to neglect maintenance and repair, and inflated prices for non-rent-controlled units. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/rent-control\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">poll\u003c/a> of ideologically diverse economists found that only 2 percent agreed with the statement that rent control had had a positive impact on housing affordability in cities like New York and San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. Scholars in other fields are generally bigger fans. And if you took away rent control, the results could be disastrous for affordability.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many urban planners and other scholars studying gentrification and displacement cite rent control as an effective policy to keep long-time residents in the communities in which they live and work. And because rent control has become so deeply embedded in the housing markets of some cities, taking it away -- no matter how economically inefficient it may be -- could spell disaster for current residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/rent-control-key-to-affording-san-francisco-1hnq41n8pk3x63z\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area Council Economic Institute -- a business-aligned policy think tank -- ran a simulation of 20 policy changes that could improve or worsen housing affordability in San Francisco. The policy that would make things worst? Getting rid of rent control, which they found would plunge 16,000 households into an unaffordable housing situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. One of the best studies of rent control shows that it primarily benefits older households at the expense of households without rent control.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There actually aren’t a ton of empirical studies looking at how rent control plays out in practice. But a groundbreaking Stanford University \u003ca href=\"https://web.stanford.edu/~tmcquade/rentcontrol.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">study\u003c/a> released last year on San Francisco’s rent control experience has shed new light on who wins and who loses from the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking at a roughly 20-year span of proprietary rental and migration data, the study authors found that rent-controlled tenants age 40 or over saw average savings of nearly $120,000 from rent control; by contrast, younger rent-controlled tenants only saved an average of $40,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because younger households were more likely to move out of rent-controlled apartments because of various life milestones -- a new job, a new family, buying a house in the suburbs, etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. The study also found that rent control paradoxically fueled gentrification, as landlords converted units to condos.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Stanford study also found that rent-controlled buildings were 10 percent more likely to be converted to a condominium or some other type of non-rental property, as landlords searched for ways to evade the law. Those units being drawn off the market partly drove up rental prices for tenants searching for apartments in San Francisco. In this sense, the study authors argue, rent control paradoxically contributed to the well-publicized gentrification the city has experienced over the past few decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/does-rent-control-actually-keep-a-community-together-1hmr6goxj8784nl\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the study also found that rent-controlled tenants were more likely to stay in the city than tenants without rent control, the gap may not be as wide as you think. After 10 years, about 11 percent of tenants without rent control were living at the same San Francisco address. Tenants with rent control? Thirteen percent stayed put.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How to participate in the debate: The rent control bill will be heard by the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee on Thursday, Jan. 11 at 9 a.m., and will include a public comment period. You can watch the hearing—which should be pretty lively as far as legislative hearings go \u003ca href=\"http://www.calchannel.com/live-webcast/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Homeowners and future buyers in the Bay Area, where real estate prices are astronomical, could be hit the hardest by the new Republican tax law that limits how much mortgage interest, as well as local and state taxes, residents can deduct from their federal taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new tax law signed by President Trump on Friday limits the mortgage interest deduction to $750,000 for new home purchase loans made after Dec. 15. Current mortgage holders are grandfathered in and allowed to continue to take the previous $1 million deduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state and local tax deduction is capped at $10,000, which in California -- where property taxes are less than the national average but state income taxes are high -- could cost wealthy and middle-class taxpayers and homeowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a third of Californians in 2015 used the state and local tax deduction, which had no limit. The average amount claimed was $18,438, \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/statistics/state-and-local-tax-deduction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the Tax Policy Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you get into the higher incomes, there is a big impact,” said Walter Zhovreboff, administrative director with \u003ca href=\"http://www.myhomegateway.org/about-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bay Area Affordable Homeownership Alliance\u003c/a>. “The lower incomes, I don’t think the deduction of interest and taxes is that detrimental.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because low-income people aren’t buying million-dollar homes. And although the median home price for the Bay Area in November was $910,350, \u003ca href=\"https://www.car.org/en/aboutus/mediacenter/newsreleases/2017releases/Nov-2017-sales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the California Association of Realtors\u003c/a>, it’s much lower in the inland parts of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Contra Costa County, only 17.5 percent of home purchase loans this year were over $750,000, \u003ca href=\"https://www.attomdata.com/news/home-prices-and-values/which-county-housing-markets-could-be-most-impacted-by-gop-tax-proposal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to ATTOM Data Solutions\u003c/a>. In Solano County this year, just 26 new home loans were over that amount. But in San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin counties, at least half of the new home loans this year were over $750,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where the new tax law could hurt homeownership in California is in the homebuyers market of young, middle-class Bay Area residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Rebecca Gomez, 38, moved to San Francisco about a year and a half ago from Philadelphia, she and her husband hoped they could become homeowners again. She knew it would take time to buy in the Bay Area’s high-priced real estate market, but Gomez was hoping the tax deductions could help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It definitely played into the equation for us,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with the Republican-backed tax overhaul bill that President Trump signed into law Friday, that savings plan for buying a home in San Francisco will likely be delayed for Gomez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mortgage interest deduction will be capped at $750,000 for new home purchases, making it tough in the Bay Area to fully recoup interest paid on home loans because of high home prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The person really has to start thinking about: Do I want homeownership for all the other reasons outside of taxes,” Zhovreboff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gomez said she was already aiming to buy a home under $750,000 because that’s what she could afford, but the new cap on mortgage interest deductions could force her to search for even lower prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's a pretty big investment to buy a house here,” she said. “I would want to benefit from that investment, so I think we would look for a cheaper house.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some local real estate agents say caps on state and local tax deductions, combined with the mortgage interest deduction, could cool the Bay Area’s hot housing market a bit because future homebuyers may look for less expensive houses.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Membership at Third Baptist Church has fallen from more than 2,000 to around 600, according to churchgoers, and the congregation continues to shrink, as people move out of the neighborhood. A couple of hundred people attended services on a recent Sunday, with many trekking into the city from the East Bay and beyond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Had not Third Baptist had its historicity, it would have been gone 10 years ago. It’s because of the respect, the loyalty and the appreciation for this institution that we have members as far away as Sacramento and Vallejo,” said the Rev. Amos C. Brown, 76, who has been the pastor for four decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Founded in 1852 as the “First Colored Baptist Church,” Third Baptist was the first African-American Baptist church west of the Rockies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It began out of struggle, unlike an ordinary, regular church,” said Brown, who is also president of the San Francisco branch of the NAACP. “It was not just about personal salvation. It was about the salvation of the people. Third Baptist was founded in response to the racism in white First Baptist of San Francisco, which was founded in 1849.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After moving several times around the city, Third Baptist Church found a home in the Fillmore District in 1952 -- a hundred years after it was founded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11637866\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11637866\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/CA_ThirdBaptist_13-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Members of the congregation sit for a luncheon following the service at the Third Baptist Church in the Fillmore District of San Francisco on Nov. 5, 2017. \u003ccite>(Brittany Greeson/WGBH and The GroundTruth Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Really, African-Americans didn’t come here for spiritual needs; they came here for social betterment,” Brown said. “In a nonprofessional, strictly therapeutic way, the black faith community has always provided mental health, for it was in the church that there was their ability to gain a sense of somebodiness, of belonging.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout its history, Third Baptist Church played a role in civil rights and social justice, and Brown was well suited to carry on that legacy. He grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, and was 14 when Emmett Till -- another 14-year-old African-American boy -- was abducted and brutally killed for allegedly whistling at a white woman in 1955. Brown was so affected by the news that he reached out to civil rights activist Medgar Evers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. Evers said to me, ‘Amos, don’t just be mad. Be smart,' ” Brown recalled. So Brown organized the first youth chapter of the NAACP in Mississippi. He became a Freedom Rider, and at Morehouse College he was one of eight students in the only college class Martin Luther King, Jr. ever taught.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Brown became pastor of Third Baptist Church in 1976, the Western Addition, which is the larger neighborhood that includes the Fillmore District, was undergoing rapid changes as part of a federal policy of urban renewal. Starting in the 1950s, the city used eminent domain to displace thousands of families, mostly African-American, to rebuild large portions of the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11637869\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11637869 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/CA_ThirdBaptist_17-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elaine Buchanan raises her hands in praise during the service at Third Baptist Church in the Fillmore District of San Francisco on Nov. 5, 2017. \u003ccite>(Brittany Greeson/WGBH and The GroundTruth Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“They called it urban renewal; we call it urban removal,” said church member Williams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said it more plainly: “They had to find a scheme of public policy to get rid of us, and that was when redevelopment emerged, which was actually black removal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census data show the African-American population in San Francisco beginning to grow in the 1940s, when war-related jobs drew many from the South, and peaking in 1970 at 13 percent. From 1970 to 2010, the city’s African-American population dropped by half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Church member Lois Carmack-Winder declined to give her age but said Third Baptist had not yet moved to its current location when she started attending at age 4 or 5, after her family moved to San Francisco from Louisiana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now there’s nowhere else to move because we can’t afford it,” said Carmack-Winder, who now lives in East Bay, but commutes in every Sunday for church. “African-Americans can no longer live in San Francisco.

The median rent for a one-bedroom unit is $3,390, according to a recent report by the rental site Zumper. San Francisco saw the biggest increase in income inequality of any U.S. city from 2010 to 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is not the city of love anymore,” said Paulet Gaines, a salon owner in the Fillmore District who plans to close up shop. “The demographics has changed. It’s no longer African-American or black-owned businesses, black-owned residing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaines says she lived in the neighborhood 13 years ago. At that time, her rent was $800 a month. That apartment now rents for $5,000 a month, which is still well under market, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her father’s apartment nearby saw a more dramatic jump. When he died in 2016, he had been paying $872. Two weeks later, the apartment was rented out at $10,500 a month, she said. “No new amenities, no parking, no anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/LkXjH5YcKlc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am going to close because I don’t have the traffic,” she said, noting that most of her African-American customers have left the neighborhood. “I'm here every day, and people just walk by, and it's -- nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown sees a literal sign of gentrification in the banners that hang down Fillmore Street, installed by a local merchants association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now they have the superficial cotton-candy sign up there, ‘Feel more in the Fillmore,’ but black people have nothing to feel,” he said. “Public policymakers, they have broken up the cultural enclaves in the African-American community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As neighborhoods become less recognizable to longtime residents, it’s not only high rent that encourages people to leave, says Malo Andre Hutson, an associate professor of city and regional planning at the University of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jFinxJ9sog&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People start to say, 'Well, my barbershop is now gone’ or ‘The place I used to go eat at is gone,' and then people start to move,” Hutson said. “People not having the same institutions that they used to go to, the cultural institutions, the faith-based institutions ... that has a big impact on people's social relationships, the overall fabric of the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The landmark designation of Third Baptist Church is part of a trend Malo is seeing across the U.S., as a way for neighborhoods to resist gentrification and preserve their culture and history. But saving buildings isn’t enough, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The congregation may still be moving away, and then they commute in, and so you need a multi-prong strategy,” he said, including economic opportunities, affordable housing and preserving local institutions and businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rev. Brown says the landmark status helps cement the church’s role in a neighborhood that has changed drastically. At the signing ceremony, he said, “Because of this designation it will forever be known that Third Baptist was here, was reckoned with and made a difference in the lives of people for the better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of \u003ca href=\"http://thegroundtruthproject.org/projects/crossing-the-divide/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crossing the Divide\u003c/a>, a cross-country reporting road trip from WGBH and The GroundTruth Project, exploring issues that divide us and stories that unite us.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Membership at Third Baptist Church has fallen from more than 2,000 to around 600, according to churchgoers, and the congregation continues to shrink, as people move out of the neighborhood. A couple of hundred people attended services on a recent Sunday, with many trekking into the city from the East Bay and beyond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Had not Third Baptist had its historicity, it would have been gone 10 years ago. It’s because of the respect, the loyalty and the appreciation for this institution that we have members as far away as Sacramento and Vallejo,” said the Rev. Amos C. Brown, 76, who has been the pastor for four decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Founded in 1852 as the “First Colored Baptist Church,” Third Baptist was the first African-American Baptist church west of the Rockies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It began out of struggle, unlike an ordinary, regular church,” said Brown, who is also president of the San Francisco branch of the NAACP. “It was not just about personal salvation. It was about the salvation of the people. Third Baptist was founded in response to the racism in white First Baptist of San Francisco, which was founded in 1849.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After moving several times around the city, Third Baptist Church found a home in the Fillmore District in 1952 -- a hundred years after it was founded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11637866\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11637866\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/CA_ThirdBaptist_13-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Members of the congregation sit for a luncheon following the service at the Third Baptist Church in the Fillmore District of San Francisco on Nov. 5, 2017. \u003ccite>(Brittany Greeson/WGBH and The GroundTruth Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Really, African-Americans didn’t come here for spiritual needs; they came here for social betterment,” Brown said. “In a nonprofessional, strictly therapeutic way, the black faith community has always provided mental health, for it was in the church that there was their ability to gain a sense of somebodiness, of belonging.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout its history, Third Baptist Church played a role in civil rights and social justice, and Brown was well suited to carry on that legacy. He grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, and was 14 when Emmett Till -- another 14-year-old African-American boy -- was abducted and brutally killed for allegedly whistling at a white woman in 1955. Brown was so affected by the news that he reached out to civil rights activist Medgar Evers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. Evers said to me, ‘Amos, don’t just be mad. Be smart,' ” Brown recalled. So Brown organized the first youth chapter of the NAACP in Mississippi. He became a Freedom Rider, and at Morehouse College he was one of eight students in the only college class Martin Luther King, Jr. ever taught.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Brown became pastor of Third Baptist Church in 1976, the Western Addition, which is the larger neighborhood that includes the Fillmore District, was undergoing rapid changes as part of a federal policy of urban renewal. Starting in the 1950s, the city used eminent domain to displace thousands of families, mostly African-American, to rebuild large portions of the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11637869\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11637869 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/CA_ThirdBaptist_17-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elaine Buchanan raises her hands in praise during the service at Third Baptist Church in the Fillmore District of San Francisco on Nov. 5, 2017. \u003ccite>(Brittany Greeson/WGBH and The GroundTruth Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“They called it urban renewal; we call it urban removal,” said church member Williams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said it more plainly: “They had to find a scheme of public policy to get rid of us, and that was when redevelopment emerged, which was actually black removal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census data show the African-American population in San Francisco beginning to grow in the 1940s, when war-related jobs drew many from the South, and peaking in 1970 at 13 percent. From 1970 to 2010, the city’s African-American population dropped by half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Church member Lois Carmack-Winder declined to give her age but said Third Baptist had not yet moved to its current location when she started attending at age 4 or 5, after her family moved to San Francisco from Louisiana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now there’s nowhere else to move because we can’t afford it,” said Carmack-Winder, who now lives in East Bay, but commutes in every Sunday for church. “African-Americans can no longer live in San Francisco.

The median rent for a one-bedroom unit is $3,390, according to a recent report by the rental site Zumper. San Francisco saw the biggest increase in income inequality of any U.S. city from 2010 to 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is not the city of love anymore,” said Paulet Gaines, a salon owner in the Fillmore District who plans to close up shop. “The demographics has changed. It’s no longer African-American or black-owned businesses, black-owned residing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaines says she lived in the neighborhood 13 years ago. At that time, her rent was $800 a month. That apartment now rents for $5,000 a month, which is still well under market, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her father’s apartment nearby saw a more dramatic jump. When he died in 2016, he had been paying $872. Two weeks later, the apartment was rented out at $10,500 a month, she said. “No new amenities, no parking, no anything.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/LkXjH5YcKlc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/LkXjH5YcKlc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“I am going to close because I don’t have the traffic,” she said, noting that most of her African-American customers have left the neighborhood. “I'm here every day, and people just walk by, and it's -- nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown sees a literal sign of gentrification in the banners that hang down Fillmore Street, installed by a local merchants association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now they have the superficial cotton-candy sign up there, ‘Feel more in the Fillmore,’ but black people have nothing to feel,” he said. “Public policymakers, they have broken up the cultural enclaves in the African-American community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As neighborhoods become less recognizable to longtime residents, it’s not only high rent that encourages people to leave, says Malo Andre Hutson, an associate professor of city and regional planning at the University of California.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/1jFinxJ9sog'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/1jFinxJ9sog'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“People start to say, 'Well, my barbershop is now gone’ or ‘The place I used to go eat at is gone,' and then people start to move,” Hutson said. “People not having the same institutions that they used to go to, the cultural institutions, the faith-based institutions ... that has a big impact on people's social relationships, the overall fabric of the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The landmark designation of Third Baptist Church is part of a trend Malo is seeing across the U.S., as a way for neighborhoods to resist gentrification and preserve their culture and history. But saving buildings isn’t enough, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The congregation may still be moving away, and then they commute in, and so you need a multi-prong strategy,” he said, including economic opportunities, affordable housing and preserving local institutions and businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rev. Brown says the landmark status helps cement the church’s role in a neighborhood that has changed drastically. At the signing ceremony, he said, “Because of this designation it will forever be known that Third Baptist was here, was reckoned with and made a difference in the lives of people for the better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
