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.",

An \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/01/24/68410/los-angeles-affordable-housing-incentive-program-i/\">audit released\u003c/a> by City Controller Ron Galperin in January showed density bonuses have produced an underwhelming number of affordable units and not living up to their potential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11615358\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11615358\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/MeasureS-800x557.jpg\" alt=\"Housing activists joined forces with labor unions to defeat the anti-development Measure S this spring.\" width=\"800\" height=\"557\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/MeasureS-800x557.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/MeasureS-160x111.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/MeasureS-1020x710.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/MeasureS.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/MeasureS-1180x821.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/MeasureS-960x668.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/MeasureS-240x167.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/MeasureS-375x261.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/MeasureS-520x362.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Housing activists joined forces with labor unions to defeat the anti-development Measure S this spring. \u003ccite>(Josie Huang/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For all their differences over how L.A. should be building, housing activists share a common goal of reducing rents and protecting tenant rights, and there are some affordable housing developers who also consider themselves YIMBYs. The theme of the upcoming annual conference for the Southern California Association of Non Profit Housing, in fact, is \"YIMBY.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing activists forcefully came together earlier this year, partnering with labor unions to defeat a common foe at the ballot box. \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/03/08/69706/why-did-measure-s-lose-so-badly/\">Measure S\u003c/a> would have put a two-year freeze on major construction in L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For YIMBYs, it was a victory over self-proclaimed NIMBYs like Richard Close, president of the Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association. 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. Abundant Housing leader Gaisford knows that to match their strength, YIMBYs need more allies pushing for denser buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She was forced to move from her homeless encampment near 84th Avenue and International Boulevard on Aug. 2, 2017.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Rosella Renee-Flemings lived at the East Oakland encampment. While standing by a shopping cart filled with her belongings, she said the encampment looked “junky,” which was part of the reason why so many people complained. Don’t just blame the people who were living in the encampment for that, she said. Illegal dumping also took place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they see a pile of trash, they come and add their trash to it,” said Renee-Flemings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVries can’t remember the last time the city permanently closed an encampment, noting that closures are different from an abatement where a site is cleared and cleaned — after which people often move back in. Police are tasked with enforcing closures by blocking the homeless from returning, DeVries said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to do this sparingly, but we’re going to do it where we feel that it has to be done,” said DeVries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Decisions on which sites to close are based on a number of factors, including pedestrian access, traffic concerns, calls for service and proximity to schools, according to DeVries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the city reached out to the encampments at 29th and 30th streets 15 times in the last few weeks, offering to help people sign up for social services they might be eligible for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of them actually declined service,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main problem is that the city lacks affordable housing — especially for those with the lowest incomes. While creating new affordable housing could take years, Oakland has a couple of other projects in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council allocated $14 million from a bond measure passed by voters last fall to purchase at least one building to provide transitional housing for more than 100 people at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also allocated $450,000 to create a Safe Haven site, which will provide temporary shelter on a vacant lot while helping people find more permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked whether there are locations or a timeline for either of these projects, DeVries said, “We’re working on it.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

While standing by a shopping cart filled with her belongings, she said the encampment looked “junky,” which was part of the reason why so many people complained. Don’t just blame the people who were living in the encampment for that, she said.

Police are tasked with enforcing closures by blocking the homeless from returning, DeVries said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to do this sparingly, but we’re going to do it where we feel that it has to be done,” said DeVries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Decisions on which sites to close are based on a number of factors, including pedestrian access, traffic concerns, calls for service and proximity to schools, according to DeVries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the city reached out to the encampments at 29th and 30th streets 15 times in the last few weeks, offering to help people sign up for social services they might be eligible for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of them actually declined service,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main problem is that the city lacks affordable housing — especially for those with the lowest incomes. While creating new affordable housing could take years, Oakland has a couple of other projects in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council allocated $14 million from a bond measure passed by voters last fall to purchase at least one building to provide transitional housing for more than 100 people at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also allocated $450,000 to create a Safe Haven site, which will provide temporary shelter on a vacant lot while helping people find more permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked whether there are locations or a timeline for either of these projects, DeVries said, “We’re working on it.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
