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.",

"content": "\u003cp>In the same affluent suburban city where Google built its headquarters, Tes Saldana lives in a crowded but tidy camper she parks on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She concedes it’s “not a very nice living situation,” but it also is not unusual. Until authorities told them to move, more than a dozen other RVs filled with people who can’t afford rent joined Saldana on a tree-lined street in Mountain View, parked between a Target and a luxury apartment complex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeless advocates and city officials say it’s outrageous that in the shadow of a booming tech economy — where young millionaires dine on $15 wood-grilled avocado and think nothing of paying $1,000 for an iPhone X — thousands of families can’t afford a home. Many of the homeless work regular jobs, in some cases serving the very people whose sky-high net worth is the reason housing has become unaffordable for so many.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the street from Saldana’s camper, for example, two-bedroom units in the apartment complex start at $3,840, including concierge service. That’s more than she brings home, even in a good month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saldana and her three adult sons, who live with her, have looked for less rustic accommodations, but rents are $3,000 a month or more, and most of the available housing is distant. She said it makes more sense to stay in the camper near their jobs and try to save for a brighter future, even if a recent city crackdown chased them from their parking spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still need to eat,” said Saldana, 51. “I still want to bring my kids, once in a while, to a movie, to eat out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She cooks and serves food at two hotels in nearby Palo Alto, jobs that keep her going most days from 5 in the morning until 10 at night. Two of her sons, all in their 20s, work at a bakery and pay $700 toward the RV each month. They’re all very much aware of the economic disparity in Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How about for us people who are serving these tech people?” Saldana said. “We don’t get the same paycheck that they do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s all part of a growing crisis along the West Coast, where many cities and counties have seen a surge in the number of people living on the streets over the past two years. Counts taken earlier this year show 168,000 homeless people in California, Oregon and Washington — 20,000 more than were counted just two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The booming economy, fueled by the tech sector, and decades of under-building have led to a historic shortage of affordable housing. It has upended the stereotypical view of people out on the streets as unemployed: They are retail clerks, plumbers, janitors — even teachers — who go to work, sleep where they can and buy gym memberships for a place to shower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The surge in homelessness has prompted at least 10 local governments along the West Coast to declare states of emergency, and cities from San Diego to Seattle are struggling to come up with immediate and long-range solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is well-known for homeless tent encampments. But the homeless problem has now spread throughout Silicon Valley, where the disparity between the rich and everyone else is glaring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no firm estimate on the number of people who live in vehicles in Silicon Valley, but the problem is pervasive and apparent to anyone who sees RVs lining thoroughfares; not as visible are the cars tucked away at night in parking lots. Advocates for the homeless say it will only get worse unless more affordable housing is built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The median rent in the San Jose metro area is $3,500 a month, yet the median wage is $12 an hour in food service and $19 an hour in health care support, an amount that won’t even cover housing costs. The minimum annual salary needed to live comfortably in San Jose is $87,000, according to a study by personal finance website GoBankingRates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So dilapidated RVs line the eastern edge of Stanford University in Palo Alto, and officials in neighboring Mountain View have mapped out more than a dozen areas where campers tend to cluster, some of them about a mile from Google headquarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent evening, Benito Hernandez returned to a crammed RV in Mountain View after laying flagstones for a home in Atherton, where Zillow pegs the median value of a house at $6.5 million. He rents the RV for $1,000 a month and lives there with his pregnant wife and children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family was evicted two years ago from an apartment where the rent kept going up, nearing $3,000 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After that, I lost everything,” said Hernandez, 33, who works as a landscaper and roofer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says his wife “is a little bit sad because she says, ‘You’re working very hard but don’t have credit to get an apartment.’ I tell her, ‘Just wait, maybe a half-year more, and I’ll get my credit back.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plight of the Hernandez family points out one of the confounding problems of the homeless surge along the West Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not a crisis of unemployment that’s leading to poverty around here,” said Tom Myers, executive director of Community Services Agency, a nonprofit based in Mountain View. “People are working.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mountain View, a city of 80,000 which also is home to Mozilla and 23andMe, has committed more than $1 million over two years for homeless services, including money for an outreach case manager and a police officer to help people who live in vehicles. At last count, there were people living in more than 330 vehicles throughout the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Ken Rosenberg is proud of the city’s response to the crisis — focusing not on penalties but on providing services. Yet he’s also worried that the peace won’t last as RVs crowd into bike lanes and overtaxed streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Mountain View officials posted signs banning vehicles more than 6 feet high on some parts of the street where Saldana, Hernandez and others living in RVs were parked, saying they were creating a traffic hazard. The average RV is well over that height.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That follows similar moves over the summer by Palo Alto, which started cracking down on RVs and other vehicles that exceed the 72-hour limit on a busy stretch of El Camino Real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Jose, officials recently approved an ordinance pushed by an interfaith group called the Winter Faith Collaborative to allow places of assembly — including gyms and churches — to shelter homeless people year-round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ellen Tara James-Penney, a 54-year-old lecturer at San Jose State University, parks her old Volvo at one of those safe-haven churches, Grace Baptist Church, and eats in its dining hall. She is paid $28,000 a year to teach four English classes and is carrying $143,000 in student debt after earning two degrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She grades papers and prepares lessons in the Volvo. At night, she leans back in the driver’s seat and prepares for sleep, one of two dogs, Hank, by her side. Her husband, Jim, who is too tall for the car, sleeps outside in a tent cot with their other dog, Buddy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area native remembers the time a class was studying John Steinbeck, when another student said that she was sick of hearing about the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I said, ‘Watch your mouth. You’re looking at one.’ Then you could have heard a pin drop,” she said. “It’s quite easy to judge when you have a house to live in or you have meds when you’re depressed and health care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to growing wealth inequities, unions, civil rights groups and community organizations formed Silicon Valley Rising about three years ago. They demand better pay and benefits for the low-income earners who make the region run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SEIU United Service Workers West, for example, organized roughly 3,000 security guards who work for companies that contract with Facebook, Google and Caltrain, the mass transit system that connects Silicon Valley with San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those workers is Albert Brown III, a 46-year-old security officer who recently signed a lease for half of a $3,400 two-bedroom unit in Half Moon Bay, about 13 miles from his job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He can barely afford the rent on his $16-an-hour salary, even with overtime, but the car that doubled as his home needed a pricey repair and he found a landlord willing to overlook his lousy credit. Still, Brown worries he won’t be able to keep up with his payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His feet have been hurting. What if a doctor tells him to rest for a few days or a week?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t miss a minute. If I miss a minute or a shift? No way, man. A week? Forget it, it’s over. It’s all downhill from there,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a sad choice. I have to decide whether to be homeless or penniless, right?”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He rents the RV for $1,000 a month and lives there with his pregnant wife and children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family was evicted two years ago from an apartment where the rent kept going up, nearing $3,000 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After that, I lost everything,” said Hernandez, 33, who works as a landscaper and roofer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says his wife “is a little bit sad because she says, ‘You’re working very hard but don’t have credit to get an apartment.’ I tell her, ‘Just wait, maybe a half-year more, and I’ll get my credit back.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plight of the Hernandez family points out one of the confounding problems of the homeless surge along the West Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not a crisis of unemployment that’s leading to poverty around here,” said Tom Myers, executive director of Community Services Agency, a nonprofit based in Mountain View. “People are working.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mountain View, a city of 80,000 which also is home to Mozilla and 23andMe, has committed more than $1 million over two years for homeless services, including money for an outreach case manager and a police officer to help people who live in vehicles. At last count, there were people living in more than 330 vehicles throughout the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Ken Rosenberg is proud of the city’s response to the crisis — focusing not on penalties but on providing services. Yet he’s also worried that the peace won’t last as RVs crowd into bike lanes and overtaxed streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Mountain View officials posted signs banning vehicles more than 6 feet high on some parts of the street where Saldana, Hernandez and others living in RVs were parked, saying they were creating a traffic hazard. The average RV is well over that height.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That follows similar moves over the summer by Palo Alto, which started cracking down on RVs and other vehicles that exceed the 72-hour limit on a busy stretch of El Camino Real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Jose, officials recently approved an ordinance pushed by an interfaith group called the Winter Faith Collaborative to allow places of assembly — including gyms and churches — to shelter homeless people year-round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ellen Tara James-Penney, a 54-year-old lecturer at San Jose State University, parks her old Volvo at one of those safe-haven churches, Grace Baptist Church, and eats in its dining hall. She is paid $28,000 a year to teach four English classes and is carrying $143,000 in student debt after earning two degrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She grades papers and prepares lessons in the Volvo. At night, she leans back in the driver’s seat and prepares for sleep, one of two dogs, Hank, by her side. Her husband, Jim, who is too tall for the car, sleeps outside in a tent cot with their other dog, Buddy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area native remembers the time a class was studying John Steinbeck, when another student said that she was sick of hearing about the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I said, ‘Watch your mouth. You’re looking at one.’ Then you could have heard a pin drop,” she said. “It’s quite easy to judge when you have a house to live in or you have meds when you’re depressed and health care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to growing wealth inequities, unions, civil rights groups and community organizations formed Silicon Valley Rising about three years ago. They demand better pay and benefits for the low-income earners who make the region run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SEIU United Service Workers West, for example, organized roughly 3,000 security guards who work for companies that contract with Facebook, Google and Caltrain, the mass transit system that connects Silicon Valley with San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those workers is Albert Brown III, a 46-year-old security officer who recently signed a lease for half of a $3,400 two-bedroom unit in Half Moon Bay, about 13 miles from his job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He can barely afford the rent on his $16-an-hour salary, even with overtime, but the car that doubled as his home needed a pricey repair and he found a landlord willing to overlook his lousy credit. Still, Brown worries he won’t be able to keep up with his payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His feet have been hurting. What if a doctor tells him to rest for a few days or a week?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t miss a minute. If I miss a minute or a shift? No way, man. A week? Forget it, it’s over. It’s all downhill from there,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It just upped and moved to South Dakota.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than half of people born in California in 1980 are making more money than their parents did as young adults. That’s the lowest percentage of children out-earning their parents that California has seen since at least 1940.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, 62 percent of people born in South Dakota in 1980 out-earn their parents. That’s the highest percentage for any state in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those figures come from a \u003ca href=\"http://www.equality-of-opportunity.org/papers/abs_mobility_paper.pdf\">study\u003c/a> by Stanford economist Raj Chetty and several prominent co-authors, whose \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/05/03/upshot/the-best-and-worst-places-to-grow-up-how-your-area-compares.html?mtrref=www.nytimes.com&gwh=A162EB05EBD48940B641AB3545D9DB70&gwt=pay\">widely publicized\u003c/a> work on intergenerational income mobility—the likelihood children will fare better financially than their parents—has transformed what we know about the data behind the American dream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chetty’s research has profound implications for California, a state whose unique mythology of boundless opportunity and instant riches has attracted generations of migrants to settle here in pursuit of a better life for their children. There’s a reason you’ve heard of “\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the California dream\u003c/a>,” while the phrase “Vermont dream” doesn’t really evoke much beyond a good name for a Ben and Jerry’s flavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ISmXptzosfdXWTjzaqEL1FDv8ziNa5Z3\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the president \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqUP3kCA5jo\">declaring the American Dream dead\u003c/a> and at least \u003ca href=\"http://antonioforcalifornia.com/\">one leading candidate \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://antonioforcalifornia.com/\">for\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://antonioforcalifornia.com/\"> governor\u003c/a> staking claim to “the California dream” as a major campaign theme, let’s play Freud for a moment and analyze why decades ago young Californians dreamt of picket fences and swimming pools, while many of today’s young Californians can dream only that their parents will subsidize their cell phone bill well into their forties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To the charts and graphs!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Since 1940, the Proportion of Californians Out-earning Their Parents has Dropped by Nearly Half\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>According to Chetty’s research—which is revolutionary primarily because of access to a longitudinal database of Americans’ tax records—children born in 1940 in California had a roughly 90 percent chance of making more money than their parents did around the age of 30. Fast-forward 40 years, and Californians born in 1980 stand less than a 50 percent chance of making more than their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[OddsOfOutEarning]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to think through how the comparison between children and parents is actually being measured here. For California babies born in 1980, researchers are using the total income they’re receiving as young adults in 2010, regardless of whether they stay in the state or move elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are then comparing that income to what their parents made at around the same age, regardless of their age when they became parents, or where those parents were born. So we’re not just comparing one generation of native Californians to another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obviously, part of that drop over that 50-year-period can be attributed simply to how poor everyone was back in 1940, when the United States had yet to fully escape the depths of the Great Depression. In 2014 dollars, the national median income of parents for children born in 1940 was around $18,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Falling Income Mobility Closely Tracks What's Happening Nationwide\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Younger Californians shouldn’t feel uniquely sheepish about making less than their parents. California mirrors the national pattern in income mobility very closely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationwide, only 50 percent of Americans born in 1980 were out-earning their parents at the age of 30. That percentage has ticked up a bit in subsequent years, but not by much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Ohio]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s not a lot of variation between states in levels of income mobility, or in changes in mobility over time. There are some exceptions to this—states like South Dakota, Montana, and Arkansas all appear to have above-average mobility rates for younger natives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But interestingly, California does not fare much better than many states in the Midwest, where the narrative of a dying American dream played heavily in the 2016 presidential campaign. Ohio and California have very similar mobility rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How Can We Be Similar to Ohio? We Have Silicon Valley and the World's 6\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> Largest Economy! Ohio has… LeBron?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>To be fair to Chetty and his co-authors, their research is less focused on state-by-state differences than the broader national picture of declining mobility. But one of the study’s conclusions about why the American dream is fading could help explain what’s happening at the state level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two primary determinants of mobility: economic growth and inequality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To use the overwrought \"pie metaphor,\" it’s inherently good for income mobility when the economic pie grows over time. But when a smaller share of the population receives a larger chunk of that pie, the odds that the average child will out-earn his or her parents shrinks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re seeing on the national level is that most of the decline (in mobility) is not due to overall economic growth,” says Robert Fluegge, a Stanford researcher who contributed to the study. “What counts more is the change in the distribution for income growth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"fZmLIWuyAsmoylCTrY6dlqGYfVwXT3VJ\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To test how much rising inequality determined mobility rates, Chetty’s team simulated what would have happened if the United States kept its very equal income distribution from 1940 through 2010. Under that scenario, 80 percent of children born in 1980 made more than their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would help explain why despite its remarkable economic growth over the past half century, California’s mobility rate is not that much different than states like Ohio or Indiana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even if you’re in California, you’re getting a concentration of income growth among high skilled labor that are able to use technology,\" says Fluegge. \"And those type of jobs are likely grabbing a lot of that income growth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fluegge cautions that although inequality is likely part of the explanation for California, researchers have yet to drill down on the state specifically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, plotting the level of inequality in a state to its level of mobility doesn’t reveal much of a relationship. Nor does plotting changes in the level of inequality over the past decade, which arguably would affect young wage-earners more. Researchers will have more work to do disentangling the relationship between inequality, growth and mobility at the state level.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Can’t You Tell Me Some Good News About Living in this State?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While the fact that only 49 percent of younger Californians are making more than their parents may seem concerning, there are reasons to think that number may be overstating things a little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That figure is at the household level, and does not adjust for household size. So a single 30-year-old born in 1980 may be compared to the dual incomes of their married parents at the same age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When adjusting for family size, the share of young adults out-earning their parents nationally improves from 50 percent to 60 percent (unfortunately those figures aren’t calculated at the state level). The sharp downward trend from 1940 persists, but the picture is somewhat rosier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"u94itVnNHwUTiotZfiEfuAUIt90tIaZR\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps more significant for California, the 49 percent figure does not include immigrant children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That shortcoming could be of enormous consequence to the Golden State, which has the highest percentage of foreign-born residents of any state in the country (27 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, 2010 was also a particularly bad year for California incomes. In the depths of the Great Recession, median California household income dipped to a five-year low. The result could be that measuring the income of a 30-year old born in 1980 is artificially depressed in California, relative to both previous generations and other states where the recession took less of a toll.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What About Cost of Living?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>So that’s the glass half full version of income mobility in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The glass half empty version? Nothing in Chetty’s study accounts for this chart:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[MedianHome]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past 40 years, the cost of housing has exploded in California relative to the rest of the United States. While the chart above only refers to median housing prices, there’s nothing much better about California’s rental market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means that those 49 percent of Californians making more than their parents are likely seeing their paycheck stretched much thinner by steeper mortgages and rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"jWti9zsY6bN7Dva5uEHprhE2yEImE84S\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here again, Californians might look at South Dakota with envy. Before adjusting for cost of living, younger Californians could defend the state’s lackluster mobility numbers by saying, “well, sure South Dakotans may be making more than their parents. But that doesn’t mean Californians aren’t making more than South Dakotans overall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, the median household income for 25 to 44 year-olds in California is about $8,000 more than their equivalents in South Dakota.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after adjusting for California’s high cost of living, South Dakotans appear much better off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[SouthDakota]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The California Dream series\u003c/a> is a statewide media collaboration of CALmatters, KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the James Irvine Foundation and the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11660142\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-800x219.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-800x219.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-160x44.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-1020x280.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-1180x324.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-960x263.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-240x66.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-375x103.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-520x143.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner.jpg 1867w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\n",

It just upped and moved to South Dakota.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than half of people born in California in 1980 are making more money than their parents did as young adults. That’s the lowest percentage of children out-earning their parents that California has seen since at least 1940.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, 62 percent of people born in South Dakota in 1980 out-earn their parents.

Fast-forward 40 years, and Californians born in 1980 stand less than a 50 percent chance of making more than their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[OddsOfOutEarning]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to think through how the comparison between children and parents is actually being measured here. For California babies born in 1980, researchers are using the total income they’re receiving as young adults in 2010, regardless of whether they stay in the state or move elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are then comparing that income to what their parents made at around the same age, regardless of their age when they became parents, or where those parents were born. So we’re not just comparing one generation of native Californians to another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obviously, part of that drop over that 50-year-period can be attributed simply to how poor everyone was back in 1940, when the United States had yet to fully escape the depths of the Great Depression. In 2014 dollars, the national median income of parents for children born in 1940 was around $18,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Falling Income Mobility Closely Tracks What's Happening Nationwide\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Younger Californians shouldn’t feel uniquely sheepish about making less than their parents. California mirrors the national pattern in income mobility very closely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationwide, only 50 percent of Americans born in 1980 were out-earning their parents at the age of 30. That percentage has ticked up a bit in subsequent years, but not by much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Ohio]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s not a lot of variation between states in levels of income mobility, or in changes in mobility over time. There are some exceptions to this—states like South Dakota, Montana, and Arkansas all appear to have above-average mobility rates for younger natives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But interestingly, California does not fare much better than many states in the Midwest, where the narrative of a dying American dream played heavily in the 2016 presidential campaign. Ohio and California have very similar mobility rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How Can We Be Similar to Ohio? We Have Silicon Valley and the World's 6\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> Largest Economy! Ohio has… LeBron?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>To be fair to Chetty and his co-authors, their research is less focused on state-by-state differences than the broader national picture of declining mobility. But one of the study’s conclusions about why the American dream is fading could help explain what’s happening at the state level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two primary determinants of mobility: economic growth and inequality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To use the overwrought \"pie metaphor,\" it’s inherently good for income mobility when the economic pie grows over time. But when a smaller share of the population receives a larger chunk of that pie, the odds that the average child will out-earn his or her parents shrinks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re seeing on the national level is that most of the decline (in mobility) is not due to overall economic growth,” says Robert Fluegge, a Stanford researcher who contributed to the study. “What counts more is the change in the distribution for income growth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To test how much rising inequality determined mobility rates, Chetty’s team simulated what would have happened if the United States kept its very equal income distribution from 1940 through 2010. Under that scenario, 80 percent of children born in 1980 made more than their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would help explain why despite its remarkable economic growth over the past half century, California’s mobility rate is not that much different than states like Ohio or Indiana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even if you’re in California, you’re getting a concentration of income growth among high skilled labor that are able to use technology,\" says Fluegge. \"And those type of jobs are likely grabbing a lot of that income growth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fluegge cautions that although inequality is likely part of the explanation for California, researchers have yet to drill down on the state specifically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, plotting the level of inequality in a state to its level of mobility doesn’t reveal much of a relationship. Nor does plotting changes in the level of inequality over the past decade, which arguably would affect young wage-earners more. Researchers will have more work to do disentangling the relationship between inequality, growth and mobility at the state level.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Can’t You Tell Me Some Good News About Living in this State?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While the fact that only 49 percent of younger Californians are making more than their parents may seem concerning, there are reasons to think that number may be overstating things a little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That figure is at the household level, and does not adjust for household size. So a single 30-year-old born in 1980 may be compared to the dual incomes of their married parents at the same age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When adjusting for family size, the share of young adults out-earning their parents nationally improves from 50 percent to 60 percent (unfortunately those figures aren’t calculated at the state level). The sharp downward trend from 1940 persists, but the picture is somewhat rosier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps more significant for California, the 49 percent figure does not include immigrant children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That shortcoming could be of enormous consequence to the Golden State, which has the highest percentage of foreign-born residents of any state in the country (27 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, 2010 was also a particularly bad year for California incomes. In the depths of the Great Recession, median California household income dipped to a five-year low. The result could be that measuring the income of a 30-year old born in 1980 is artificially depressed in California, relative to both previous generations and other states where the recession took less of a toll.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What About Cost of Living?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>So that’s the glass half full version of income mobility in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The glass half empty version? Nothing in Chetty’s study accounts for this chart:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[MedianHome]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past 40 years, the cost of housing has exploded in California relative to the rest of the United States. While the chart above only refers to median housing prices, there’s nothing much better about California’s rental market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means that those 49 percent of Californians making more than their parents are likely seeing their paycheck stretched much thinner by steeper mortgages and rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here again, Californians might look at South Dakota with envy. Before adjusting for cost of living, younger Californians could defend the state’s lackluster mobility numbers by saying, “well, sure South Dakotans may be making more than their parents. But that doesn’t mean Californians aren’t making more than South Dakotans overall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, the median household income for 25 to 44 year-olds in California is about $8,000 more than their equivalents in South Dakota.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after adjusting for California’s high cost of living, South Dakotans appear much better off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[SouthDakota]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The California Dream series\u003c/a> is a statewide media collaboration of CALmatters, KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the James Irvine Foundation and the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It's targeted at helping homeless people get back on their feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything is furnished when they move in,” says Jody Ketcheside, who oversees a number of government-run homeless facilities in Madera and Fresno counties, including Serenity Village. \"There’s a microwave, there’s a dining table, couches, a bed, nightstand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ketcheside says every week her team has to turn away homeless people, due to a program requirement that states a person must be homeless for a year and have a disability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"eWSF8jiSzCTvFYfyrPvHN6iDSCZx7iF1\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The case manager for this particular program is seeing more people that haven’t been on the streets longer than a year,” says Ketcheside. \"That’s somebody new then from when we counted in 2016.

You don’t see that right here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Bales isn’t couch surfing, he’s living on the streets. He’s looking for a more permanent job, and even though work is scarce, he says he wanted to move home near family. He says the community needs more services for the homeless population, such as a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You get out on the streets and you’re like, OK, even if I’m not a drug user you end up using drugs because you’re going to be cold at night.

It's hard to get a definitive answer, but there is a long-term rental shortage in the area. Everyone I spoke with says they’ve noticed new homeless faces in the area, but the actual number hasn’t officially grown. In 2016, 43 homeless people were counted in the Oakhurst area, but that number dropped to around 35 in this year’s count.

You don’t see that right here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Bales isn’t couch surfing, he’s living on the streets. He’s looking for a more permanent job, and even though work is scarce, he says he wanted to move home near family. He says the community needs more services for the homeless population, such as a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You get out on the streets and you’re like, OK, even if I’m not a drug user you end up using drugs because you’re going to be cold at night.

If approved, the measure would roll back rents to February 2017 levels, limit annual increases to the consumer price index and add just-cause protections to some units, meaning landlords would need a good reason to evict a tenant, like not paying rent or criminal activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The eviction protections would apply only to the units covered by rent stabilization, unlike other cities that have applied it more broadly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our measure is much more moderate than any others,\" said Thursday Roberts, a volunteer for \u003ca href=\"http://www.fairrents4pacifica.org/\">Fair Rents 4 Pacifica\u003c/a>. \"We thought it would be more palatable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pacifica represents the smallest Bay Area city that has put a rent stabilization measure on the ballot in recent years. The city's population is around 40,000 and about a third of households are renters. That number could play a role in whether Measure C is passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither Burlingame nor San Mateo, two other San Mateo County cities, passed rent stabilization measures last year, and nearly 50 percent of residents are renters in either city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the City Council voted to put rent stabilization and just cause evictions on the ballot, and the council \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/12/pacifica-city-council-approves-temporary-rent-control-ordinance/\">passed a moratorium\u003c/a> on rent increases until the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with the help of the California Apartment Association, which \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/09/apartment-association-ends-legal-challenge-against-rent-control-in-richmond-and-mountain-view/\">opposes rent stabilization\u003c/a>, a referendum petition stopped the moratorium on rent increases from happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Mateo District Attorney's Office is currently investigating allegations that signature-gatherers misled people into signing the petition, although the investigation won't impact the results of the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renters groups have been largely outspent by the opposition. Fair Rents 4 Pacifica has raised around $50,000 according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofpacifica.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=13519\">last city filing\u003c/a>.

O'Neill is a homeowner who says the government should not interfere in the relationship between a tenant and landlord. Yet he knows that could result in displacement for some.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a conundrum,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O'Neill is concerned that Measure C will end up costing the city too much money and has called it a hidden tax. But supporters say even the city's website dispels that rumor. The rent program will be funded by a $19 monthly fee that can be passed down to renters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question that people are deciding for themselves: \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/06/is-rent-control-fair-the-question-at-the-heart-of-the-debate/\">Is rent stabilization fair\u003c/a>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a dozen California cities have similar laws on the books. In the last election, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/09/bay-area-cities-appear-to-split-on-multiple-rent-control-measures/\">two of five cities\u003c/a> with renter-backed measures passed them.

The city's population is around 40,000 and about a third of households are renters. That number could play a role in whether Measure C is passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither Burlingame nor San Mateo, two other San Mateo County cities, passed rent stabilization measures last year, and nearly 50 percent of residents are renters in either city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the City Council voted to put rent stabilization and just cause evictions on the ballot, and the council \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/12/pacifica-city-council-approves-temporary-rent-control-ordinance/\">passed a moratorium\u003c/a> on rent increases until the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with the help of the California Apartment Association, which \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/09/apartment-association-ends-legal-challenge-against-rent-control-in-richmond-and-mountain-view/\">opposes rent stabilization\u003c/a>, a referendum petition stopped the moratorium on rent increases from happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Mateo District Attorney's Office is currently investigating allegations that signature-gatherers misled people into signing the petition, although the investigation won't impact the results of the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renters groups have been largely outspent by the opposition. Fair Rents 4 Pacifica has raised around $50,000 according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofpacifica.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=13519\">last city filing\u003c/a>. The main opposition group has raised more than $300,000, led by the San Mateo County Association of Realtors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One consistent opponent of Measure C is Mayor Mike O'Neill, who signed the argument against it. O'Neill is a homeowner who says the government should not interfere in the relationship between a tenant and landlord. Yet he knows that could result in displacement for some.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a conundrum,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O'Neill is concerned that Measure C will end up costing the city too much money and has called it a hidden tax. But supporters say even the city's website dispels that rumor. The rent program will be funded by a $19 monthly fee that can be passed down to renters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question that people are deciding for themselves: \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/06/is-rent-control-fair-the-question-at-the-heart-of-the-debate/\">Is rent stabilization fair\u003c/a>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a dozen California cities have similar laws on the books. In the last election, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/09/bay-area-cities-appear-to-split-on-multiple-rent-control-measures/\">two of five cities\u003c/a> with renter-backed measures passed them. Santa Rosa \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/business/networth/article/Rent-control-loses-a-battle-in-Santa-Rosa-but-11203882.php\">failed to pass\u003c/a> a measure earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked whether O'Neill would fight for rent stabilization if he were a renter, he paused and said, \"It would probably depend on what kind of landlord I had.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority vote is needed for Measure C to pass.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Now they also face a huge decision that will affect their families and their ability to rebuild. That decision: to opt into the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sonomacountyrecovers.org/debris-removal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">government-run debris removal program\u003c/a> or opt out and hire their own private contractor to do the cleanup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wildfires in Northern California burned through buildings, trees, washing machines, refrigerators, beds and TVs — leaving a giant hazardous mess in their wake. Cleaning up the mess is a massive project that could take months to complete and cost taxpayers upward of $180 million. And it is complicated by the potentially conflicting interests of the homeowners, insurers and government agencies involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To handle this unprecedented cleanup project, the state turned to the federal government for help. The debris removal program for Lake, Mendocino, Sonoma and Napa counties is being run by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.usace.army.mil/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Army Corps of Engineers\u003c/a> and managed by \u003ca href=\"http://www.ecc.net/2010/index.asp?page=45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ECC\u003c/a>, a contractor. Costs not covered by insurance will be paid for by \u003ca href=\"https://www.fema.gov/news-release/2017/10/26/4344/october-2017-california-wildfires-household-hazardous-waste-and-debris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FEMA\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County leaders are anxious to maximize the resources offered by the federal government and get the cleanup underway as quickly as possible, not just because it’s the first step to recovery, but also because they are facing an environmental and public health crisis. Much of the debris left behind by the wildfires is toxic, and there are fears that heavy rains could spread the debris and pollute the groundwater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It [debris cleanup] has to happen, not because we want to rush but because we know the rains are coming and we have to be cognizant of that, so that is going to drive a lot of our decision-making,” Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore said at a Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday. “We are in a public health disaster.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To this end, county and state leaders are urging homeowners to sign “\u003ca href=\"https://srcity.org/DocumentCenter/View/18044\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Right of Entry\u003c/a>” forms that give the Army Corps’ contractors permission to go on to their property and clean it up. But as of this past Tuesday, only about 800 people had signed on to the government program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/11/LewisFireDebris.mp3\" title=\"Homeowners Weigh Options for Wildfire Cleanup\" image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/IMG_1688-e1509667599268.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the standards, timeline and process for opting out of the government program are still being worked out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whichever way you go, we all have to meet the same standards in terms of that debris cleanup,” said Rick Brown, spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers. “With the Corps of Engineers and the government program there’s no out-of-pocket costs to the homeowner, and that’s probably the biggest thing to understand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeowners’ insurance policies will often have a chunk of money set aside for debris removal. But if the cost of hiring a private contractor to do the cleanup exceeds what the policy covers, FEMA will not pick up the difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, some property owners are considering opting out of the government program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One concern is the cost of a new foundation. The Army Corps’ contractors will automatically remove the foundations of all buildings destroyed by the fire. Based on its past experience with fires, Brown said, this makes sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With fires of this intensity like what we saw here,” Brown explained, “those foundations, even if on the surface the foundations appear they didn’t take any damage, the soil underneath may very well have taken in some toxins from the things in that ash footprint.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, the Army Corps needs a process that is expedient for the large number of homes it has to deal with — so it doesn’t make sense for them to test each foundation individually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But homeowners may face a different calculus. While they may not have to pay any money upfront for foundation removal, after the foundation is gone the cost of rebuilding a home can be greatly increased. And insurance will not always cover foundation replacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Farm Insurance claims representative Tim Foster said his company looks at each claim on an individual basis. The company doesn’t advise customers on what to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just assess whether or not there is or isn’t damage present and whether or not the policy will cover that,” Foster said. “What the customer chooses to do from there is always up to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don Millerick, whose home in the Coffey Park neighborhood of Santa Rosa burned to the ground, said he still doesn’t feel that he has enough information to make a decision. But he and other homeowners will soon be forced to decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the coming weeks, county leaders will be setting deadlines to either opt in or opt out of the Army Corps program. To help people make that decision, Sonoma County will be holding more town hall meetings to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sonomacountyrecovers.org/debris-removal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gather and address the questions \u003c/a>that homeowners have.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That decision: to opt into the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sonomacountyrecovers.org/debris-removal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">government-run debris removal program\u003c/a> or opt out and hire their own private contractor to do the cleanup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wildfires in Northern California burned through buildings, trees, washing machines, refrigerators, beds and TVs — leaving a giant hazardous mess in their wake. Cleaning up the mess is a massive project that could take months to complete and cost taxpayers upward of $180 million. And it is complicated by the potentially conflicting interests of the homeowners, insurers and government agencies involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To handle this unprecedented cleanup project, the state turned to the federal government for help. The debris removal program for Lake, Mendocino, Sonoma and Napa counties is being run by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.usace.army.mil/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Army Corps of Engineers\u003c/a> and managed by \u003ca href=\"http://www.ecc.net/2010/index.asp?page=45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ECC\u003c/a>, a contractor. Costs not covered by insurance will be paid for by \u003ca href=\"https://www.fema.gov/news-release/2017/10/26/4344/october-2017-california-wildfires-household-hazardous-waste-and-debris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FEMA\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County leaders are anxious to maximize the resources offered by the federal government and get the cleanup underway as quickly as possible, not just because it’s the first step to recovery, but also because they are facing an environmental and public health crisis. Much of the debris left behind by the wildfires is toxic, and there are fears that heavy rains could spread the debris and pollute the groundwater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But if the cost of hiring a private contractor to do the cleanup exceeds what the policy covers, FEMA will not pick up the difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, some property owners are considering opting out of the government program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One concern is the cost of a new foundation. The Army Corps’ contractors will automatically remove the foundations of all buildings destroyed by the fire. Based on its past experience with fires, Brown said, this makes sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With fires of this intensity like what we saw here,” Brown explained, “those foundations, even if on the surface the foundations appear they didn’t take any damage, the soil underneath may very well have taken in some toxins from the things in that ash footprint.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, the Army Corps needs a process that is expedient for the large number of homes it has to deal with — so it doesn’t make sense for them to test each foundation individually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But homeowners may face a different calculus. While they may not have to pay any money upfront for foundation removal, after the foundation is gone the cost of rebuilding a home can be greatly increased. And insurance will not always cover foundation replacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Farm Insurance claims representative Tim Foster said his company looks at each claim on an individual basis. The company doesn’t advise customers on what to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just assess whether or not there is or isn’t damage present and whether or not the policy will cover that,” Foster said. “What the customer chooses to do from there is always up to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don Millerick, whose home in the Coffey Park neighborhood of Santa Rosa burned to the ground, said he still doesn’t feel that he has enough information to make a decision. But he and other homeowners will soon be forced to decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the coming weeks, county leaders will be setting deadlines to either opt in or opt out of the Army Corps program. To help people make that decision, Sonoma County will be holding more town hall meetings to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sonomacountyrecovers.org/debris-removal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gather and address the questions \u003c/a>that homeowners have.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
