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.",

She woke up her kids and her mother-in-law and ran outside to start throwing things into her car – things she still hadn’t unpacked from their evacuation during the Thomas Fire just weeks earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I looked up the street, and the flash flood was coming down our street with cars and boulders, and trash cans, right towards us,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horn ran back into the house as the flood swept through her front yard. 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. The mud was five feet deep, and the sandbags she’d stacked around her front door were gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had no concept at all this was going to happen,” she said. “We thought, maybe we’ll get some mud up to the top of the sandbags.

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. But a county spokeswoman said most people stayed behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You did not have a lot of people who adhered to our evacuation order,” said Amber Anderson, a public information officer for Santa Barbara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a number of reasons why, some of which have to do with this particular incident and some of which are more about mudslides in general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The threat from mudslides can be hard to comprehend because a lot of factors play into how deadly they can be, said Sue Perry with the U.S. Geological Survey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How intense the rain is to trigger a debris flow varies from place to place. It depends on what exactly the rock is made of, how steep the slope is, how badly that particular area was burned,” she said. “That’s pretty arcane stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"twklpcS7ScXChWJd8Vn97gcQQEU19KEw\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even the words we use add to the confusion. Perry calls the phenomena “debris flow,” whereas most of us use the term “mudslide,” which sounds less threatening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding to the danger, mudslides also happen very quickly. 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. They may have been less willing to do so again for a more abstract threat like a mudslide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s disaster burnout in that community. They just have had to evacuate their homes,” said Deborah Glik, a professor with the Fielding School of Public Health at UCLA who studies disaster communication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Gretchen Horn said she chose to stay in her home, which was in a voluntary evacuation area, not because she was tired of leaving, but because she simply didn’t think the mudslides were going to be as disastrous they were. 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.

"content": "\u003cp>In a neighborhood that once boomed with black-owned venues and hotels, and hosted musical greats like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, a struggle to survive is underway. African-American residents and business owners in the Fillmore District are trying to preserve this historically black neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It probably sounds like a common story in San Francisco, as the tech industry fuels the most expensive rental market in the United States and an extraordinary concentration of wealth. But in the Fillmore District, known in the 1940s and ‘50s as the “Harlem of the West,” this upheaval goes back decades and steeps the current debate in a bitter history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/wbwOnwI_iXw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“African-American ownership [of] stores and restaurants and hair salons and barbershops, shoeshine shops ... you watched it all disappear,” said 76-year-old Alexander T. Williams, who has lived within walking distance of the Fillmore since 1965. “As a matter of fact, my last barbershop just closed. ... I’m not sure I’ll be able to find a new barbershop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One part of the Fillmore District may now be protected from these changes: \u003ca href=\"https://thirdbaptist.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Third Baptist Church\u003c/a>, the predominantly black church where Williams has attended services since 1968, won protected status on Nov. 15 when Mayor Ed Lee -- who died a month later -- signed legislation designating it as a landmark. The church is on the corner of McAllister and Pierce streets, just a couple of blocks from San Francisco’s iconic row of houses known as the “Painted Ladies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams calls the church “a beacon,” and recalls the days when there were no empty pews. “I joined in ’68. If you were not in this sanctuary by 11:30, there were chairs put down the center aisle and the crowd loft was completely full. This was every Sunday,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11637863\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11637863\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/CA_ThirdBaptist_01-800x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alexander Williams, 76, takes communion 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>The landmark designation is a victory for the congregation, but saving the building is not synonymous with saving the church. 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. Families with children can no longer live in the city. ... We’ll be like the dinosaur.

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",

African-American residents and business owners in the Fillmore District are trying to preserve this historically black neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It probably sounds like a common story in San Francisco, as the tech industry fuels the most expensive rental market in the United States and an extraordinary concentration of wealth. But in the Fillmore District, known in the 1940s and ‘50s as the “Harlem of the West,” this upheaval goes back decades and steeps the current debate in a bitter history.\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/wbwOnwI_iXw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/wbwOnwI_iXw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“African-American ownership [of] stores and restaurants and hair salons and barbershops, shoeshine shops ... you watched it all disappear,” said 76-year-old Alexander T.

I’m not sure I’ll be able to find a new barbershop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One part of the Fillmore District may now be protected from these changes: \u003ca href=\"https://thirdbaptist.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Third Baptist Church\u003c/a>, the predominantly black church where Williams has attended services since 1968, won protected status on Nov. 15 when Mayor Ed Lee -- who died a month later -- signed legislation designating it as a landmark.

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.

The Federal Housing Administration, created in 1934, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bostonfairhousing.org/timeline/1934-FHA.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">refused to federally insure mortgages to black people, and even to homebuyers living near black neighborhoods, thereby excluding African-Americans from home ownership and the opportunity to generate personal wealth through real estate.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/supmanual/cch/fair_lend_fhact.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Redlining was outlawed in 1968\u003c/a>, but the effects still linger. \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-foreclosures-race/racial-predatory-loans-fueled-u-s-housing-crisis-study-idUSTRE6930K520101004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Predatory lending targeting African-Americans\u003c/a> with ballooning mortgages helped cause the 2008 housing market crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/28/oakland-accuses-wells-fargo-of-steering-blacks-and-latinos-toward-bad-loans/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland sued Wells Fargo in 2015\u003c/a>, accusing the Bay Area-based bank of targeting African-American and Latino residents with more expensive loans that caused many to lose their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The predatory practice of targeting people of color with subprime and unaffordable mortgages leading up to the Great Recession -- we term that reverse redlining,” Ahuja said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report shows that five of the top 10 home loan lenders in California were non-banks. In Fresno, where Latinos were 47 percent of the population in 2015, nine out of the top 10 home loan lenders were non-traditional bank institutions.
