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.",

It will appear on the November 2018 statewide ballot if signed by Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All Republicans opposed the fee in SB 2, which would be paid by homeowners on transactions like a mortgage refinance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Senator John Moorlach, R-Costa Mesa, said SB 2 is “taxing those who are having a tough time because they can’t afford down payment.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, many Republicans said the state should be focused on eliminating roadblocks to housing development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That led four GOP members to support Senate Bill 35, which makes it harder for cities to block new housing if they had failed to meet regional goals for approving developments.

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority would get $375 million, part of what it needs to build a planned BART extension to downtown San Jose. Some $325 million would go to a long-dreamed-of Caltrain extension from San Francisco’s far-South of Market to downtown. The Bay Area’s Water Emergency Transportation Authority would get $300 to pay for new boats and dock facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the highway side, $300 million in toll proceeds would go to building new paid express lanes on Bay Area freeways, and another $1.1 billion would go to rebuilding interchanges and improving the most heavily traveled highway corridors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another major feature: In a provision put forward by longtime BART critic Sen.

If the Bay Area Toll Authority, the agency that oversees the bridges, seeks that maximum $3 increase, tolls on the bridges would be $8 to $9.

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority would get $375 million, part of what it needs to build a planned BART extension to downtown San Jose. Some $325 million would go to a long-dreamed-of Caltrain extension from San Francisco’s far-South of Market to downtown. The Bay Area’s Water Emergency Transportation Authority would get $300 to pay for new boats and dock facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the highway side, $300 million in toll proceeds would go to building new paid express lanes on Bay Area freeways, and another $1.1 billion would go to rebuilding interchanges and improving the most heavily traveled highway corridors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another major feature: In a provision put forward by longtime BART critic Sen.

A proposal by L.A. city officials to charge developers a so-called linkage fee to pay for affordable units has the widespread support of housing advocates who turned out by the dozens for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/08/23/74894/fee-on-new-construction-in-la-up-for-council-vote/\">recent hearing\u003c/a> to show their support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same advocates are pressing the city to adopt \"inclusionary zoning,\" which would force developers who build market-rate housing to designate a certain percentage of their units for subsidized housing. Santa Monica \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/07/31/74251/developers-in-santa-monica-face-experiment-in-prov/\">recently adopted\u003c/a> a version of inclusionary zoning and plans to monitor its impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing advocate Neil McGuffin of the Little Tokyo Service Center said that state and local leaders need to encourage affordable housing to prevent the displacement of longtime residents that's taken place in neighborhoods like Little Tokyo in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"RPg3Lh19ATLPyViRl8lJBGmqdWPgXtHQ\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s been about a thousand units of housing developed and that housing is not affordable for people who are living or have lived in the community,\" McGuffin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abundant Housing agrees that funding affordable housing is critical but warns both a linkage fee and inclusionary zoning will only add to construction costs, and stop projects from getting built. The group would rather raise the money for affordable housing by increasing the city's real estate transfer fees or coax developers into constructing more below-market units in exchange for more building height through what’s called density bonuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want to provide a carrot to incentivize people to build as much affordable housing as possible and at the same time build as much market–rate housing as we can,\" Gaisford said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaisford acknowledged that density bonus programs could be improved.

He acknowledged that the city has to fix its housing shortage, and that developers should focus on areas that want the new construction, such as the northeast part of the San Fernando Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The problem is developers like to build in Sherman Oaks and other nice areas of the city where they can get the highest profit,\" Close said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his work is to protect his community from the extra traffic and change in neighborhood character that often comes with new development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we see is people on the other side that have no regard for the current conditions in the community,\" Close said. \"They’re focused simply on a single issue, like more housing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite their loss on Measure S, NIMBYs like Close remain a powerful political force in L.A. that can kill or stall a project.
