"content": "\u003cp>If you're looking for a bargain in housing -- or at least shelter that looks relatively inexpensive -- try Cleveland. Or Pittsburgh. Or Detroit, Cincinnati or St. Louis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.hsh.com/finance/mortgage/salary-home-buying-25-cities.html\" target=\"_blank\">mortgage information site HSH.com\u003c/a>, the median home price in each of those cities is under $140,000. At prevailing interest rates, you can get a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with payments of $828 a month or less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know by now that buying or renting a place to lay your head in the Bay Area is an expensive proposition. San Francisco's Paragon Real Estate says regional median home sales prices ranged from $265,000 in Vallejo to $5.4 million in Atherton. HSH, \u003ca href=\"http://www.realtor.org/topics/metropolitan-median-area-prices-and-affordability/data\" target=\"_blank\">using data\u003c/a> from the National Association of Realtors, puts the regional median price for the final three months of 2014 at $742,900. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the number for the Census Bureau's San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Median, as a reminder, means that half of the homes purchased in the Bay Area during that period sold for more than that figure and half for less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HSH calculates that at a 30-year fixed rate of 4.02 percent and 20 percent down on that $742,900 home -- meaning an upfront payment of almost $150,000 -- your monthly mortgage payment would come to $3,323.79. And the before-tax income you'd need to pay the bank, your insurance company and your taxes? HSH pegs that at $142,448.33 (see \u003ca href=\"http://www.hsh.com/finance/mortgage/salary-home-buying-25-cities.html#how-did-we-come-up-with-these-salaries\" target=\"_blank\">the assumptions\u003c/a> behind the numbers).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(And if you look to Silicon Valley, the situation is even more extreme. The National Association of Realtors says the median home price in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA -- that's Santa Clara and San Benito counties -- was $855,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014. Our back-of-the-envelope calculations using HSH's methodology suggests that you'd need to be bringing in $167,957.12 a year to afford the median-priced home in the South Bay.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HSH calls the Bay Area \"the king\" of unaffordability -- and indeed, it's the only metropolitan area among the 27 the company ranks where buyers would need household income of more than $95,000 -- what you'd need to buy a home in the San Diego area -- to buy at the median price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Who can buy at those prices?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, cash buyers, for one. Real-estate data firm \u003ca href=\"http://www.dqnews.com/Articles/2015/News/California/Bay-Area/RRBay150218.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Core Logic DataQuick says\u003c/a> that in January cash sales accounted for about one in five home sales in the Bay Area -- a lower level than a couple years ago but still well above the historical average for the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what about the rest of us, the people who don't have a big pile of currency or bitcoin to burn?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.usmayors.org/metroeconomies/2014/08/report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Conference of Mayors study\u003c/a> released last August estimated that in 2013, the median household income for Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa counties was $75,900 and is expected to rise to about $102,000 by 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Santa Clara County, the median household income was just under $93,500, rising to $130,000 in 2021 -- tops in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, you have to reach high above those median income figures to find the households that can buy that median home in today's market.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Or Detroit, Cincinnati or St. Louis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.hsh.com/finance/mortgage/salary-home-buying-25-cities.html\" target=\"_blank\">mortgage information site HSH.com\u003c/a>, the median home price in each of those cities is under $140,000. At prevailing interest rates, you can get a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with payments of $828 a month or less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know by now that buying or renting a place to lay your head in the Bay Area is an expensive proposition. San Francisco's Paragon Real Estate says regional median home sales prices ranged from $265,000 in Vallejo to $5.4 million in Atherton. HSH, \u003ca href=\"http://www.realtor.org/topics/metropolitan-median-area-prices-and-affordability/data\" target=\"_blank\">using data\u003c/a> from the National Association of Realtors, puts the regional median price for the final three months of 2014 at $742,900. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the number for the Census Bureau's San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Median, as a reminder, means that half of the homes purchased in the Bay Area during that period sold for more than that figure and half for less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HSH calculates that at a 30-year fixed rate of 4.02 percent and 20 percent down on that $742,900 home -- meaning an upfront payment of almost $150,000 -- your monthly mortgage payment would come to $3,323.79. And the before-tax income you'd need to pay the bank, your insurance company and your taxes? HSH pegs that at $142,448.33 (see \u003ca href=\"http://www.hsh.com/finance/mortgage/salary-home-buying-25-cities.html#how-did-we-come-up-with-these-salaries\" target=\"_blank\">the assumptions\u003c/a> behind the numbers).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The National Association of Realtors says the median home price in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA -- that's Santa Clara and San Benito counties -- was $855,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014. Our back-of-the-envelope calculations using HSH's methodology suggests that you'd need to be bringing in $167,957.12 a year to afford the median-priced home in the South Bay.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HSH calls the Bay Area \"the king\" of unaffordability -- and indeed, it's the only metropolitan area among the 27 the company ranks where buyers would need household income of more than $95,000 -- what you'd need to buy a home in the San Diego area -- to buy at the median price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Who can buy at those prices?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, cash buyers, for one. Real-estate data firm \u003ca href=\"http://www.dqnews.com/Articles/2015/News/California/Bay-Area/RRBay150218.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Core Logic DataQuick says\u003c/a> that in January cash sales accounted for about one in five home sales in the Bay Area -- a lower level than a couple years ago but still well above the historical average for the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what about the rest of us, the people who don't have a big pile of currency or bitcoin to burn?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.usmayors.org/metroeconomies/2014/08/report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Conference of Mayors study\u003c/a> released last August estimated that in 2013, the median household income for Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa counties was $75,900 and is expected to rise to about $102,000 by 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Santa Clara County, the median household income was just under $93,500, rising to $130,000 in 2021 -- tops in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, you have to reach high above those median income figures to find the households that can buy that median home in today's market.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Nearly a year has passed since stories broke in February 2014 about disturbing living conditions in the Hacienda public housing complex. Now residents will finally see the beginning of the end of their days at Hacienda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hacienda became infamous thanks to a series of stories by the Center for Investigative Reporting, a nonprofit investigative news organization based in the East Bay. According to their report, the housing complex is infested with bugs, mice and mold. At resident meetings, people have complained about others urinating and spitting on the elevator buttons. Strangers and drug dealers walk in and out freely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the building complex will be renovated completely, a process that is estimated to take 18 to 24 months, and the current residents will have to move out. Many of the 101 remaining households consist of disabled or elderly people. Almost \u003ca href=\"http://richmondconfidential.org/2014/10/05/the-hacienda-housing-project-was-declared-uninhabitable-why-are-tenants-still-living-there/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">90 percent\u003c/a> of the residents pay between $200 and $500 a month in rent. They can’t afford to move out on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I went to Kaiser across the street eight times in one month. It’s something coming through the vents and the heater.’\u003ccite>Yolanda Millard, Hacienda resident\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>On Friday afternoon, Richmond’s newly elected mayor, Tom Butt, along with Rep. Mark DeSaulnier and Richmond Housing Authority (RHA) executive director Tim Jones, announced at a press conference that Section 8 vouchers for Hacienda residents have been approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A voucher is a federal subsidy that holders can use to help pay rent at their next apartment. Residents are expected to relocate in the next six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assisted by a voucher, “the family will pay 30 percent of their adjusted monthly income towards their share of the rent,” Jones said in an earlier phone interview, “and the housing authority through the voucher program will pay the balance of the contract to the landlord.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10429459\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/hacienda-heater.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10429459\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/hacienda-heater.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Hacienda resident Jacoby Williams’ apartment, the heater cannot be turned off and he believes there’s a mouse population in the heater system that runs through the entire Hacienda complex.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Hacienda resident Jacoby Williams’ apartment, the heater cannot be turned off and he believes there’s a mouse population in the heater system that runs through the entire Hacienda complex. \u003ccite>(Larry Zhou/Richmond Confidential)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>HUD provides funding for the vouchers as well as a $1 million grant to cover moving costs. The voucher money is already in the bank and the city could begin cashing out the money on Friday afternoon if necessary, according to Butt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Jones, they had thought the vouchers would arrive in mid- to late February. “I did not anticipate we are going to receive these vouchers so fast,” he said. Jones said he expects to finish the relocation within six months, moving 40 percent of the units out in the first three months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hacienda resident Yolanda (Yoyo) Millard said she’s thankful that she can finally move out. Since she moved into Hacienda, she said, she’s been to the hospital back and forth because of asthma. “I went to Kaiser across the street eight times in one month,” Millard said. She believes something about the apartment complex is irritating her respiratory system. “It’s something coming through the vents and the heater,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”IWAxsNsArNmkHiuIiR9fN7HyMcbNNAAA”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Millard already has housing in place, but she is not sure if she wants to use a Section 8 voucher. She worries that private landlords can kick tenants out on a whim. “If the landlord says he doesn’t want to take Section 8 no more, then we’re left in the cold,” Millard said. “We’ve got to find a place. It may be hard for us to find a place.

Now residents will finally see the beginning of the end of their days at Hacienda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hacienda became infamous thanks to a series of stories by the Center for Investigative Reporting, a nonprofit investigative news organization based in the East Bay. According to their report, the housing complex is infested with bugs, mice and mold. At resident meetings, people have complained about others urinating and spitting on the elevator buttons. Strangers and drug dealers walk in and out freely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the building complex will be renovated completely, a process that is estimated to take 18 to 24 months, and the current residents will have to move out. Many of the 101 remaining households consist of disabled or elderly people.

It’s something coming through the vents and the heater.’\u003ccite>Yolanda Millard, Hacienda resident\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>On Friday afternoon, Richmond’s newly elected mayor, Tom Butt, along with Rep. Mark DeSaulnier and Richmond Housing Authority (RHA) executive director Tim Jones, announced at a press conference that Section 8 vouchers for Hacienda residents have been approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A voucher is a federal subsidy that holders can use to help pay rent at their next apartment. Residents are expected to relocate in the next six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assisted by a voucher, “the family will pay 30 percent of their adjusted monthly income towards their share of the rent,” Jones said in an earlier phone interview, “and the housing authority through the voucher program will pay the balance of the contract to the landlord.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10429459\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/hacienda-heater.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10429459\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/hacienda-heater.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Hacienda resident Jacoby Williams’ apartment, the heater cannot be turned off and he believes there’s a mouse population in the heater system that runs through the entire Hacienda complex.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Hacienda resident Jacoby Williams’ apartment, the heater cannot be turned off and he believes there’s a mouse population in the heater system that runs through the entire Hacienda complex. \u003ccite>(Larry Zhou/Richmond Confidential)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>HUD provides funding for the vouchers as well as a $1 million grant to cover moving costs.

Since she moved into Hacienda, she said, she’s been to the hospital back and forth because of asthma. “I went to Kaiser across the street eight times in one month,” Millard said.

She worries that private landlords can kick tenants out on a whim. “If the landlord says he doesn’t want to take Section 8 no more, then we’re left in the cold,” Millard said. “We’ve got to find a place.
