"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>This post has been updated with more current results.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dire need for more affordable housing in cities like San Francisco wasn’t a huge talking point in the presidential election. However, in the pricey Bay Area, the issue was front and center on a number of local ballots. Voters are embracing local measures that promise to create new housing for low- and middle-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a brief rundown:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Alameda County, early vote tallies pointed to large approval of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lwvbae.org/county-of-alameda-measure-a1-2016/\">Measure A1\u003c/a>, a $580 million housing bond. And that lead held up when the final vote came in, as voters approved the measure 72-28 percent. The general obligation bonds will finance the construction and rehabilitation of affordable rental units, loans for moderate-income homebuyers and upgrades to existing low-income housing. The measure easily got the two-thirds approval needed to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Berkeley, residents voted heavily in favor of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lwvbae.org/measure-z1-low-income-housing-authorization/\">Measure Z1\u003c/a>, passing it by 83-17 percent. The measure gives the city the green light to create 500 new below-market-rate units. Voter approval is required by the California Constitution for the new projects to go forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Oaklanders embraced \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/ibond2016/index.htm\">Measure KK\u003c/a>, a $600 million infrastructure bond earmarking $100 million for affordable housing. A citizen oversight committee would audit all spending from the measure. The measure passed 82-18 percent, as of Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara County, \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/Santa_Clara_County,_California,_Affordable_Housing_Bonds,_Measure_A_(November_2016)\">Measure A\u003c/a> barely passed, with 67 percent approval. The measure requires two-thirds approval to pass. The sweeping affordable housing bond measure would allow the county to borrow up to $950 million to create and preserve an estimated 5,000 affordable housing units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Mateo County voters voted handily in favor of \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/San_Mateo_County,_California,_Sales_Tax,_Measure_K_(November_2016)\">Measure K\u003c/a>, which extends a half-cent sales tax through 2043. \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/San_Mateo_County,_California,_Sales_Tax,_Measure_K_(November_2016)\">The measure has nearly 70 percent voter approval, as of Wednesday afternoon. \u003c/a>The Board of Supervisors placed K on the ballot to help fund affordable housing for families, seniors, veterans and people with disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in San Francisco, voters approved \u003ca href=\"http://voterguide.sfelections.org/en/loans-finance-acquisition-and-rehabilitation-affordable-housing\">Proposition C\u003c/a>, a measure that would allow the city to repurpose $261 million in unused general obligation bond funding that voters originally approved in 1992 for seismic upgrades. Under Proposition C, bonds would be used to acquire and rehabilitate multi-unit properties and convert them to permanently affordable housing. The local measure got 76 percent approval, as of Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\n",

However, in the pricey Bay Area, the issue was front and center on a number of local ballots. Voters are embracing local measures that promise to create new housing for low- and middle-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a brief rundown:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Alameda County, early vote tallies pointed to large approval of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lwvbae.org/county-of-alameda-measure-a1-2016/\">Measure A1\u003c/a>, a $580 million housing bond. And that lead held up when the final vote came in, as voters approved the measure 72-28 percent. The general obligation bonds will finance the construction and rehabilitation of affordable rental units, loans for moderate-income homebuyers and upgrades to existing low-income housing. The measure easily got the two-thirds approval needed to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Berkeley, residents voted heavily in favor of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lwvbae.org/measure-z1-low-income-housing-authorization/\">Measure Z1\u003c/a>, passing it by 83-17 percent. The measure gives the city the green light to create 500 new below-market-rate units. Voter approval is required by the California Constitution for the new projects to go forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A citizen oversight committee would audit all spending from the measure. The measure passed 82-18 percent, as of Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara County, \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/Santa_Clara_County,_California,_Affordable_Housing_Bonds,_Measure_A_(November_2016)\">Measure A\u003c/a> barely passed, with 67 percent approval. The measure requires two-thirds approval to pass. The sweeping affordable housing bond measure would allow the county to borrow up to $950 million to create and preserve an estimated 5,000 affordable housing units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Mateo County voters voted handily in favor of \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/San_Mateo_County,_California,_Sales_Tax,_Measure_K_(November_2016)\">Measure K\u003c/a>, which extends a half-cent sales tax through 2043. \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/San_Mateo_County,_California,_Sales_Tax,_Measure_K_(November_2016)\">The measure has nearly 70 percent voter approval, as of Wednesday afternoon. \u003c/a>The Board of Supervisors placed K on the ballot to help fund affordable housing for families, seniors, veterans and people with disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in San Francisco, voters approved \u003ca href=\"http://voterguide.sfelections.org/en/loans-finance-acquisition-and-rehabilitation-affordable-housing\">Proposition C\u003c/a>, a measure that would allow the city to repurpose $261 million in unused general obligation bond funding that voters originally approved in 1992 for seismic upgrades. Under Proposition C, bonds would be used to acquire and rehabilitate multi-unit properties and convert them to permanently affordable housing. The local measure got 76 percent approval, as of Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Historians and housing advocates told me that, in the 1970s, after victories in the farmworker movement, the state enacted laws regulating employee housing. Many growers started tearing down substandard camps. Now, many workers have to find their own housing, and nonprofits are trying to fill in the gaps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing advocates are holding up Tanimura and Antle’s project as a model, but most growers can’t afford such an investment. Plus, this housing’s not a fix for year-round Salinas Valley workers. And even though it’s estimated that 80 percent of California farmworkers have home bases and families, Tanimura and Antle’s housing is only for employees: no kids allowed. I ask Antle: Isn’t the real need for farmworker family housing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes,\" he says. “And we’ll be addressing that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While he wouldn’t give me more details, he later pointed out two huge storage sheds right next to the new housing he says will be Phase Two. Meanwhile, one nearby grower is getting permits to build similar apartments, and local governments are investing in a farmworker housing study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11159839\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11159839\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Futbol-800x559.jpg\" alt=\"With remnants of the old sugar factory in the background, Tanimura and Antle employees play soccer after working in the fields.\" width=\"800\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Futbol-800x559.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Futbol-160x112.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Futbol-1020x712.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Futbol.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Futbol-1180x824.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Futbol-960x671.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Futbol-240x168.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Futbol-375x262.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Futbol-520x363.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">With remnants of the old sugar factory in the background, Tanimura and Antle employees play soccer after working in the fields. \u003ccite>(Lisa Morehouse/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This doesn’t change life for the Tafoya family in that cramped East Salinas house.

It has one park, one church, one general store without much on its shelves. The surprise announcement that Tanimura and Antle wanted to house up to 800 single workers in apartments on the edge of town made some residents worry their quality of life was in jeopardy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In public meetings, they raised concerns about the well-being of the farmworkers, especially citing the isolation they might feel so far from shopping and activities in Salinas. They also worried about infrastructure like water and sewage and traffic, about potential drops in housing prices. Some feared the project could draw prostitution, drug use, cockfights. Lifelong resident Jim Ross Riley collected and presented many of his neighbors’ concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some news media said that we were racist,\" Riley says. \"I don’t care what church, or race or nationality they are, they are single males in their 20s and 30s and they don’t stay home and knit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It got pretty heated. But nothing compared to what happened in the town of Nipomo, two hours south. Seven farmworker houses under construction were burned to the ground. Everyone I talked to in Spreckels says that would never happen here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am not against farmworkers coming to the area,\" says Riley. “They are needed.

Historians and housing advocates told me that, in the 1970s, after victories in the farmworker movement, the state enacted laws regulating employee housing. Many growers started tearing down substandard camps. Now, many workers have to find their own housing, and nonprofits are trying to fill in the gaps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing advocates are holding up Tanimura and Antle’s project as a model, but most growers can’t afford such an investment. Plus, this housing’s not a fix for year-round Salinas Valley workers. And even though it’s estimated that 80 percent of California farmworkers have home bases and families, Tanimura and Antle’s housing is only for employees: no kids allowed. I ask Antle: Isn’t the real need for farmworker family housing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes,\" he says. “And we’ll be addressing that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While he wouldn’t give me more details, he later pointed out two huge storage sheds right next to the new housing he says will be Phase Two.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera today filed suit against the developer of the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2016/09/14/san-francisco-officials-search-for-answers-as-millennium-tower-sinks/\" target=\"_blank\">Millennium Tower\u003c/a>, alleging that the company knew that the luxury high-rise was sinking more than expected before it began selling units, but failed to disclose the information to buyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herrera said the developer, Mission Street Development LLC, an affiliate of Millennium Partners, knew as early as February 2008 that the 58-story tower at 301 Mission St. had sunk nearly 6 inches, the maximum amount engineers had predicted over the lifetime of the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time the units went on sale in 2009, the firm knew that it had sunk 8.3 inches, and by the end of 2009, the developer knew it was sinking at different rates in different areas, potentially causing a tilt, the suit alleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Before they had sold a single condo, Mission Street Development LLC knew their building had sunk more than it was supposed to in its lifetime -- and that it was still sinking,\" Herrera said. \"Yet they didn't tell the homebuyers, as they're required to do so under the law. It's that simple.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SF-s-landmark-tower-for-rich-and-famous-is-8920197.php\" target=\"_blank\">News reports\u003c/a> surfaced this summer indicating that the Millennium Tower was sinking and leaning. Current projections suggest it could ultimately sink more than 30 inches. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/City-attorney-sues-Millennium-developer-says-10591174.php\" target=\"_blank\">story in today's San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> says \"the high-rise has sunk at least 16 inches and is tilting 2 inches to the northeast at the base.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since that time, the developer and various agencies have worked to blame each other, while homeowners have watched the value of their units drop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The whole reason for the expansive law in this area is so that people don't get ripped off and that they're protected,\" Herrera said. \"That's what in our view makes this particularly egregious.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Millennium Partners has maintained that the building's excess settlement is directly caused by excessive groundwater pumping next door at the Transbay Transit Center site, which began construction in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Transbay Joint Powers Authority, the agency responsible for the transit center, in turn has blamed the building's settlement on its design, which combines heavier-than-usual concrete construction with a concrete slab foundation and piles that go into sand rather than down to bedrock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some homeowners say they would like to see criminal fraud charges brought against Millennium Partners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Clearly, there's criminally fraudulent conduct here,\" said Jerry Dodson, a lawyer and resident of Millennium Towers who spoke to reporters after the announcement. Dodson said he hopes to meet with both Herrera and District Attorney George Gascón in the near future to talk about potential criminal action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday's suit by the city was filed as a cross-complaint in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/First-lawsuit-filed-over-leaning-tower-of-SF-9132750.php\" target=\"_blank\">class action lawsuit\u003c/a> filed by some homeowners against the developer and the Transbay Joint Powers Authority in August. San Francisco is a party to the Joint Powers Authority, and as such faces potential liability in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Millennium Partners issued a statement today saying the city attorney's allegations had \"no merit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The City Attorney's action today has nothing to do with protecting public safety, the building, or its residents,\" the developer said in a statement. \"Instead, it's an effort by the City of San Francisco to duck its responsibilities and avoid paying for the harm caused by TJPA.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extent to which city building officials knew of the building's troubles has been the subject of two recent hearings held by Supervisor Aaron Peskin. The Department of Building Inspection sent at least one letter to the developer to inquire about reports of excess settlement in 2009, but does not appear to have followed up again until media coverage of the problem began this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herrera today said city building officials did not have information on potential problems with the building until this past July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ryan Levi contributed to this post.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It's that simple.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SF-s-landmark-tower-for-rich-and-famous-is-8920197.php\" target=\"_blank\">News reports\u003c/a> surfaced this summer indicating that the Millennium Tower was sinking and leaning.

Dodson said he hopes to meet with both Herrera and District Attorney George Gascón in the near future to talk about potential criminal action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday's suit by the city was filed as a cross-complaint in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/First-lawsuit-filed-over-leaning-tower-of-SF-9132750.php\" target=\"_blank\">class action lawsuit\u003c/a> filed by some homeowners against the developer and the Transbay Joint Powers Authority in August.

The Department of Building Inspection sent at least one letter to the developer to inquire about reports of excess settlement in 2009, but does not appear to have followed up again until media coverage of the problem began this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herrera today said city building officials did not have information on potential problems with the building until this past July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ryan Levi contributed to this post.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
