As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

The program has been in court after legal challenges that in part center around the fact that a majority, not a supermajority, of the Legislature authorized the program. Brown said that uncertainty is impacting its financial success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a very important program that's part of our climate change strategy,\" he said, noting that with people hostile to climate change policies taking over the federal government, \"the whole world is looking to us. ...

Senate Minority Leader Jean Fuller (R-Bakersfield) said more money should be going to the state's reserve funds and toward paying down the state's pension liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But we agree with the governor that a spending decrease solution is far better than a tax increase solution at this time,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Jay Obernolte, R-Hesperia, rejected the governor's plan to increase gas taxes to fund road and highway repairs.

Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D- Los Angeles) criticized Brown's plan to phase out the Middle Class Scholarship Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We must work to keep college affordable for California students, and I will not support burdening them with higher fees and greater student debt — whether that's done by raising tuition or phasing out the Middle Class Scholarship,\" Rendon said in a statement. \"Ending the Middle Class Scholarship would increase the cost of a student’s four year education by up to $9,000 at CSU and up to $20,000 at UC.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of new funding for affordable housing concerned Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, who chairs the Assembly housing committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"(Brown) repeated his position that the answer is to streamline housing approvals, and I share the perspective that many jurisdictions around our state are not doing enough to build homes for our residents, especially in areas where job growth is dramatically outpacing housing creation,\" Chiu said in a statement. \"But the market alone will never solve the housing crisis for struggling Californians.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

It would be funded through new vehicle fees, an increase in the gas tax and an increase to the diesel excise tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On climate change -- one of Brown's signature issues -- the governor said he wants lawmakers to take up the state's cap-and-trade system and approve it by a two-thirds vote. The program has been in court after legal challenges that in part center around the fact that a majority, not a supermajority, of the Legislature authorized the program. Brown said that uncertainty is impacting its financial success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a very important program that's part of our climate change strategy,\" he said, noting that with people hostile to climate change policies taking over the federal government, \"the whole world is looking to us. ... We ought to continue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he is making no assumptions about what Congress and President-elect Trump will do -- particularly around health care -- but that he's not budgeting based on things that haven't yet occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are too many uncertainties that could put a massive hole in the budget,\" he said. \"This budget can move very quickly -- what I call riding the tide.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could go the other way, he said -- revenues could increase in coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's financial volatility, Brown said, is largely because of what the governor called the state's \"progressive\" tax structure that relies on capital gains taxes from its wealthiest residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California has the most progressive tax system in the U.S. -- but as a a corollary, we have one of the most unreliable revenue systems in the country and to manage it reliably requires prudence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said that's why he's pushed the state to save money in good years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you want a progressive tax system, you need a big rainy day fund,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans had a mixed reaction to Brown's budget proposal. Senate Minority Leader Jean Fuller (R-Bakersfield) said more money should be going to the state's reserve funds and toward paying down the state's pension liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But we agree with the governor that a spending decrease solution is far better than a tax increase solution at this time,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Jay Obernolte, R-Hesperia, rejected the governor's plan to increase gas taxes to fund road and highway repairs. Legislative Democrats have made similar proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are already paying the highest gas taxes in the country,\" Obernolte said. \"And there are large sections of revenue that we can return to funding state road and highway construction that are not being so spent right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Democratic lawmakers generally commended Brown's cautious approach, they pushed back on the lack of funding in some areas. Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D- Los Angeles) criticized Brown's plan to phase out the Middle Class Scholarship Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We must work to keep college affordable for California students, and I will not support burdening them with higher fees and greater student debt — whether that's done by raising tuition or phasing out the Middle Class Scholarship,\" Rendon said in a statement. \"Ending the Middle Class Scholarship would increase the cost of a student’s four year education by up to $9,000 at CSU and up to $20,000 at UC.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of new funding for affordable housing concerned Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, who chairs the Assembly housing committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It's not clear whether moderate Democrats are any more willing to back tax hikes than GOP lawmakers are, but Chiu said he think there's room for agreement, since the issues transcend regional differences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do see a path in part because these crises have only intensified -- the housing crisis that started in San Francisco and the Bay Area has spread to the entire state of California,\" he said. \"And Californians up and down the state are very frustrated with the state of our roads, with the lateness of public transit, the lack of real options to get around and the tremendous congestion we face on the roads.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Road repairs are something that if we don’t do, it’s like an unfunded liability -- it is wrecking the economy.'\u003ccite>Sen. Jim Beall\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>State Senate President Kevin de León said there is agreement among both houses of the Legislature and the governor that a transportation infrastructure plan is needed. He hopes to get it done within months -- and with Republican support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My hope is that we can get it done in a bipartisan fashion, irrespective of the supermajorities that we currently enjoy in both the Assembly and Senate, because a transportation infrastructure package is a vote for continued economic growth of the middle class of California,\" said de León, D-Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose Sen. Jim Beall has been one of the Legislature's most vocal supporters of a transportation deal. He noted that lawmakers already have legislation in front of them in both houses -- in the Senate, \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1\">he authored SB 1\u003c/a> -- that would \u003ca href=\"http://sd15.senate.ca.gov/news/2016-12-05-beall-introduces-new-transportation-infrastructure-maintenance-bill\">raise about $6 billion a year \u003c/a>through an increase the gas tax and car registration fees. That plan is \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-sac-essential-politics-updates-new-transportation-funding-plan-calls-1471476415-htmlstory.html\">more expansive than the 6-cents-per-gallon tax proposed by the governor last year, but less ambitious \u003c/a>than earlier proposals of Beall and other Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Road repairs are something that if we don't do, it's like an unfunded liability -- it is wrecking the economy,\" Beall said. \"The governor has said it makes no sense to let things deteriorate further.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he expects Brown to make a proposal similar to the one the governor's office put out in 2016 and he hopes they can strike a deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Housing Agreement Further Off\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there is at least agreement between lawmakers and the governor on potential funding sources for transportation, common ground on housing may be a bit stickier. Brown's proposal last year was seen by critics as a giveaway to developers that would have done little to spur affordable housing production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, lawmakers have a host of ideas on the table. Chiu and other Democrats in the Assembly \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/members/a17/news-room/press-releases/assemblymember-david-chiu-joins-colleagues-to-announce-bills-to-address-affordable-housing-crisis\">unveiled a legislative package in December\u003c/a> that includes a proposal to eliminate a tax break for second homes, $400 million a year they want to redirect toward affordable housing development. In the Senate, Beall and San Diego Democratic Sen. Toni Atkins are looking to tack on a $75 fee to real estate transactions to fund the construction of low-income homes; they also want to put a $3 billion housing bond before voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11262355\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11262355\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/SfLuxuryHOusing-800x477.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury housing under construction in San Francisco in 2015.\" width=\"800\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/SfLuxuryHOusing-800x477.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/SfLuxuryHOusing-160x95.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/SfLuxuryHOusing-1020x608.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/SfLuxuryHOusing.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/SfLuxuryHOusing-1180x703.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/SfLuxuryHOusing-960x572.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/SfLuxuryHOusing-240x143.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/SfLuxuryHOusing-375x223.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/SfLuxuryHOusing-520x310.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Luxury housing under construction in San Francisco in 2015. \u003ccite>(Anya Schultz/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It's not clear whether Brown, who has been reticent to add to the state's debt or increase taxes and fees, would support either proposal.

Democrats said they're open to working with the new president, but are skeptical of how Republicans will go about paying for an infrastructure package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Where we can find common ground with Washington we will find common ground, but to move an infrastructure package at a national level by incurring much more debt, and by rolling that debt over year after year, is not the most fiscally prudent thing to do,\" de León said. \"You can't offer free money because there's no free money -- somebody has to pay for it eventually.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sacramento, lawmakers agree, the heart of the debate this year will focus on that exact question: how to pay for the investment they believe the state desperately needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now she is safe and warm in an Oakland apartment, thanks to a KQED listener.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brittany Jones is a student at Laney College and was homeless when KQED reporter Laura Klivans began talking with her as part of the series \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/08/homelessu-a-college-students-life-without-shelter/\">Homeless U\u003c/a>, which explored the lives of three homeless college students, and the growing awareness of this previously invisible population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I first met Jones in the early part of December when I began photographing her going about her days at school, visiting her storage unit and sleeping on BART. Even with the situation she was in, Jones always had a positive and motivated outlook. She could laugh at life and was determined to keep pushing herself to finish school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/6WFkcQgqhAY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones’ story was published as part of the Bay Area media collaboration \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/sf-homeless-project/\">#SFHomelessProject\u003c/a> on Dec. 7. After her story aired, KQED began receiving offers from listeners to provide rooms, storage spaces and anything else they thought might help Jones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a wonderful gesture of kindness, one listener went so far as to pay for an apartment for Jones. Her hope is that this will give Jones the opportunity to focus on her schooling and find a part-time job. Within a week, Jones was safely moved into her new Oakland apartment and is settling in for a wonderful holiday season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the help of this kind gift, Jones continues to work toward her academic goals and has high hopes for her spring semester classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11230146\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11230146\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/161118_BrittanyJones_bhs01-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Brittany Jones is a student at Laney College in Oakland.

Twelve ZIP codes in the region have recorded median sales prices of $2 million or more this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of national and state bragging rights -- if having so much housing stock rise beyond the reach of all but the most wealthy or daring is anything to brag about -- the San Francisco Bay region appears to have the most ZIP codes (38, remember) in the national Top 100. Los Angeles and Orange counties, which as ignorant \u003cem>norteños\u003c/em> we're treating as a single metro area, have 28 ZIP codes in that top tier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also finds that 70 of the top 100 ZIP codes nationwide are in California and 20 are in New York state.

(A math reminder: \u003ca href=\"http://stattrek.com/statistics/dictionary.aspx?definition=median\" target=\"_blank\">median\u003c/a> is the midpoint in a range of values -- here, we're talking home prices -- with half the values below that point and half above.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PropertyShark list shows that eight of the 10 top Bay Area ZIP codes are in or adjacent to Silicon Valley, including two areas in Palo Alto and two in Los Altos. Twelve ZIP codes in the region have recorded median sales prices of $2 million or more this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of national and state bragging rights -- if having so much housing stock rise beyond the reach of all but the most wealthy or daring is anything to brag about -- the San Francisco Bay region appears to have the most ZIP codes (38, remember) in the national Top 100. Los Angeles and Orange counties, which as ignorant \u003cem>norteños\u003c/em> we're treating as a single metro area, have 28 ZIP codes in that top tier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s an old building and eventually someone is going to want to put in something newer. So I’ve just been getting the most use out of it while repairing whatever problems come up.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Burnt Ramen’s impact on the music scene — \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPMCtiTL4JE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">there’s a 2006 documentary\u003c/a> about its time as an above-ground music venue — it has been unable to officially host concerts since 2003. Yet Malin and others continued hosting shows, advertising them by word-of-mouth. It also hosted a recording studio. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After inspectors declared the building uninhabitable, Malin and five other residents were told they had to find new places to live. Malin says his roommates hopefully have friends to live with — and he, at least, has a van. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"Q.Logo.Break\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch a trailer for a documentary about Burnt Ramen \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPMCtiTL4JE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Burnt Ramen has set up a crowdfunding site to raise money for repairs.

"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]I[/dropcap] don’t remember thinking about news or weather or homelessness or much of anything when I stopped for a cup of coffee on my way into the office the other day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My route took me past a rather upscale cafe a short block from our office on the edge of the Mission. From occasional visits over the eight years since the place opened, it has always appeared to be a popular spot for many of the young tech-firm workers in the neighborhood. The Wi-Fi: fast. The food: very good. The coffee beans: responsibly sourced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, I wasn’t focused on much when I detoured for coffee. But as soon as I caught sight of the door I started doing line calculus: How many people were waiting? How long would the wait be? Not many, it looked like, and not long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man standing closest to the door when I entered was in a neither-here-nor-there position — checking out the menu board maybe, or queued up. I asked him whether he was in line, and he turned to me and said he was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was visibly different from the rest of us in line. Simplest way to say it: While the rest of us were dressed in \u003cem>de rigueur\u003c/em> office casual, this guy looked like he was living on the street, maybe in one of the several small tent camps in the neighborhood. His clothes were dirty, his hair and beard were unkempt. In the dozens of times I’d frequented this joint, he’s the only person I’ve ever seen inside whom I’d profile as homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it was his turn to order, I heard him ask how much a medium caffe latte would cost. The young woman at the counter said $4.25. I heard the exchange and without thinking said, “Hey, I got you.” The man, whom I’d soon learn was named Eric, turned around with a look of surprise and said thanks. Then he looked at the tray of sandwiches next to the counter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You want something to eat? Those sandwiches are good,” I said. He said yes and picked one out, a big one marked with a T.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t even know what kind it is,” he said. “Turkey,” I told him. “It’s good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then a couple of things happened in rapid succession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A woman who’d overheard my exchange with Eric materialized at my side and said, “Here, let me chip in,” and handed me a $5 bill. I thanked her — I’d come to find out her name was Alicia — and put the bill in the tip jar. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, before I placed my own order, the young counterwoman said to Eric, “Since he’s paying for you, you can’t eat that here.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alicia demanded to know why Eric couldn’t sit down and eat. The cafe manager, who was working on Eric’s latte, said that was just the cafe’s rule. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strange. I’m sure lots of non-homeless cafe customers buy coffee and food for each other, and I’ll bet they’re never told they can’t stay and enjoy their meals. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t make the rules, but I have to enforce them,” the manager said. “That’s the owner’s rule. I have to obey it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Can he just sit here?” Alicia asked, indicating a bench inside the door. “No,” the manager said, again mentioning the rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, Eric was asking me, “Why can’t I eat here?” The best I could come up with as a response was, “They don’t want you here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The manager put Eric’s medium latte on the counter. It had one of those darling little hearts that baristas make with their artful dribbles of espresso and steamed milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alicia and I walked Eric out the door. It had been a cold morning, and the first drops of a midday rain began to fall. He asked us where we were going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Back to work,” Alicia said. “To my office,” I said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was an unasked question hanging there, I thought. “Can I come back with you so I have a warm, dry place to eat this nice sandwich you just bought me?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We said goodbye to Eric and went our separate ways. Later, I chastised myself for not having the presence of mind or the willingness to ask Eric to come back to my building, where he could at least have sat in the lobby while he ate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, that would have been another temporary act of kindness, conditioned on the understanding he’d go away after he ate. Better than nothing. At least he’d have a full stomach when he headed back to the street. I would continue on in my existence, with its relative safety and comfort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]A[/dropcap]t this point, homelessness is as much a part of San Francisco as the hills, the Mission or the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s something I think we all see and ponder and react to, even if we try to turn away from it. As luck would have it, this week marks the second time this year that local media are presenting the public with an \u003ca href=\"http://projects.sfchronicle.com/sf-homeless/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unflinching look\u003c/a> at the nature and extent of the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The media coverage is a heroic attempt to come to grips with a reality that for decades has proved bigger than any institution’s ability to respond. Perhaps that’s why I feel that my own personal response when confronted with need is as important as anything I do as a journalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think all of us develop creeds to live by. I don’t mean hard-and-fast rules. I mean the voices and phrases and lessons gleaned from experience as we move through life that may add up to a more or less coherent idea of how we want to live, how we ought to treat others, how we hope to be treated ourselves.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\n“This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy. …”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s part of my creed — thanks, \u003ca href=\"http://infospigot.com/2010/11/17/walt-whitman-injunction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walt Whitman\u003c/a> — even if I believe there’s an impossible idealism expressed there (what would Whitman have made of 2016 San Francisco?).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something else I carry in the back of my mind: the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/It-s-time-again-for-the-Untied-Way-6631166.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Untied Way\u003c/a>. It’s a modest proposal from former San Francisco Chronicle columnist Jon Carroll to promote the virtues of giving directly to those in need around us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I only mention credos, Whitman and Carroll in partial explanation of my own occasional impulse to pay for someone else’s coffee and sandwich. But I’m also thinking about the consequences of following those impulses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other day, I saw how embarrassed the cafe employees were when they had to stand by a rule that I’m guessing they know is absurd and unfair and was crafted to keep people like Eric out of their establishment. My impulse put them on the spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My impulse and the small drama that played out around it also put me face to face with the limits of my own compassion. It seems like an easy thing to render a kindness and keep moving. It’s harder to render the kindness and maybe stick around to learn more about the person you’re bestowing it upon and what they’re up against.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, I realize that the cafe’s rule for the penniless would-be patron — “that guy over there bought your sandwich, so you can’t eat it here” — is aimed at me as much as at homeless customers. The management doesn’t want people carelessly indulging their generous impulses. Those impulses make it awkward for the cafe’s workers and uncomfortable for its better-groomed clientele. And destitute people roaming the area might get the idea they’re welcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in one respect, the cafe’s policy has been effective. There’s no chance I’ll have a fit of thoughtless generosity there again, because I won’t be going back.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
