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.",

From a political standpoint, that’s a pretty significant shift in the housing landscape,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The League of California Cities urged Newsom to veto these bills, calling them a “top-down mandate that disregards local voices and decision-making.” After the bill signing was announced, the league said it would “explore all options to ensure local governments have the necessary tools and resources to plan for the types of housing actually needed in their communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents calling themselves \u003ca href=\"https://www.communitiesforchoice.org/\">Californians for Community Planning\u003c/a> are already seeking to qualify a \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/21-0016%20%28Local%20Land%20Use%29.pdf\">proposed constitutional amendment for the November 2022 ballot\u003c/a> to reassert local control over zoning and land-use decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More sweeping bills to reduce local control over zoning and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2021/03/california-affordable-housing-bills/\">create more affordable housing failed in 2018, 2019 and 2020\u003c/a>.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What are the new laws?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB9\">Senate Bill 9\u003c/a> — introduced by Senate leader Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat, as the centerpiece of her affordable housing package — will allow most homeowners to build two homes or a duplex on a plot zoned for a single house and, in some cases, split their lot and build two additional homes, starting on Jan. 1. The total number of units on a single lot is limited to four.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11864513\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/pexels-karolina-grabowska-4386433-1536x960.jpg\"]“It shows the governor is walking the walk as it relates to this housing crisis,” said Kendra Noel Lewis, executive director of the Sacramento Housing Alliance, who has been campaigning to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article248544635.html\">allow duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes\u003c/a> throughout the city. “This takes a little pressure off at the local level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The list of criteria for eligible homes is pretty lengthy, and notably excludes those in environmentally sensitive areas and in historic districts, as well as those that are subject to deed restrictions or rent control, or that have been occupied by a tenant in the last three years. To split a lot, neither of the parcels can be smaller than 1,200 square feet, and the homeowner must sign an affidavit that they will remain in the house for the subsequent three years — designed as a guardrail against potential speculation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a city could deny some projects, specifically those that pose a threat to health or safety, it would have to issue findings that meet a whole host of criteria, too, according to Moira O’Neill, a law professor at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given current land and construction costs, the Terner Center estimates the new law could lead to about\u003ca href=\"https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/SB-9-Brief-July-2021-Final.pdf\"> 660,000 new housing units across the state over several years\u003c/a> — a sizable fraction of the 1.8 million to 3.5 million units that experts say California needs to meet its housing shortage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it would be up to eligible homeowners to decide to turn their houses into duplexes or fourplexes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And despite opponents’ warnings that the law will radically remake the traditional single-family neighborhoods the state is so famous for, the same study estimates less than 5% of the state’s 7.5 million single-family lots will be changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Ritu Raj Sharma, DAHLIN Group Architecture Planning\"]‘[SB 9] will give [older homeowners] an opportunity to stay in the same neighborhoods without having to move out, because previously, the option was you would cash out and move to a different neighborhood or a different state.’[/pullquote]Ritu Raj Sharma, a senior planner with Bay Area-based \u003ca href=\"https://www.dahlingroup.com/\">DAHLIN Group Architecture Planning\u003c/a>, predicts that mostly older homeowners will take advantage of the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will give them an opportunity to stay in the same neighborhoods without having to move out, because previously, the option was you would cash out and move to a different neighborhood or a different state,” Sharma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the new law doesn’t cap the cost of the new units, leading vocal opponents to argue it will only exacerbate the state’s affordability crisis. The law’s supporters, however, argue that adding a unit affordable to a middle-class family opens up a less expensive unit for a family one step below them on the economic ladder. And \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2021/08/california-housing-crisis-zoning-bill/\">keeping it illegal to build housing in most areas of the state won’t necessarily block gentrification\u003c/a>, either.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A historic investment\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In signing the bill to address the California housing crisis, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/cagovernor/status/1439325049702391809?s=11\">Newsom also promoted the $10.3 billion for housing in his “California Comeback Plan,”\u003c/a> which he said would produce 40,000 housing units. That plan also \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homeless/2021/05/newsom-end-homelessness-pandemic-lessons/\">includes $12 billion to create more than 44,000 new housing units\u003c/a> and treatment beds for people experiencing homelessness.\u003cbr>\nhttps://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1438683084765888519\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also signed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB10\">SB 10\u003c/a>, authored by Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco, which allows a city to bypass environmental review to build as many as 10 units on a single-family parcel near a transit hub or urban infill developments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This new law likely will have a considerably smaller impact, Sharma predicts, because the onus to take advantage of it is on the very cities that usually oppose more dense development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems a little counterintuitive that we have this problem created by the same folks, and now we are asking them to make that change,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='housing]“Berkeley wants to zone for fourplexes in single-family neighborhoods, so they may use SB 10 to expedite that.

One of the people he worked with on civic engagement projects is a former Afghan interpreter named Lucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lucky, a nickname given to him because he survived two improvised explosive device blasts (he prefers this name, for fear of what the Taliban might do to his family still in Afghanistan), received his SIV in 2016 after working as an interpreter for the U.S. for nearly 10 years. He now has a green card. Lucky had been living in San Diego for the past several years, but went back to Afghanistan in May to see his aging mother and to help her with care. While visiting his mother in the hospital, his brother told him the Taliban were attempting to take their village. Around Aug. 13, he went to help. Without enough people or ammunition to support the village, he said they had to surrender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was stuck there,” Lucky said. He ended up pretending to be a truck driver to make his way back to Kabul, and then spent 12 hours at the airport, waiting for a flight with his wife and their 4-year-old and 7-month-old children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part, with the assistance of \u003ca href=\"https://afghanevac.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Afghan Evac\u003c/a>, a San Diego-based initiative started by veterans, Lucky arrived back in the U.S. at the end of August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My kids, they just can’t sleep,” he said. “They have nightmares. … My daughter, she’s not letting me go. She’s still scared, she thinks she’s still in Afghanistan, and there’s going to be bombing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lucky told KQED he was planning to move to Texas to be closer to family and because the cost of living is high in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Bay Area organizations assisting with refugee services\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://jfcs-eastbay.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jewish Family & Community Services, East Bay\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.reftrans.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Refugee & Immigrant Transitions\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.rescue.org/topic/refugees-america\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Rescue Committee\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

He now has a green card. Lucky had been living in San Diego for the past several years, but went back to Afghanistan in May to see his aging mother and to help her with care.

Officials say due to budget constraints, the city will continue incrementally shutting down hotels through the end of the program, slated for June 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 1,400 people are still staying in the remaining hotels, said Emily Cohen, a spokesperson for the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, adding that the program does not have the capacity to continue accepting new people off the street. Doing so would also slow down efforts to rehouse people already in the program, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are very full because we are moving very deliberately and intentionally to ensure that people are linked to permanent solutions,” Cohen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said almost 600 people have been placed in permanent housing since the program started. However, it’s unclear where many of the more than 1,500 people who have left hotels over the course of the program have gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"homelessness\"]Advocates for people experiencing homeless argue that the city can afford to keep the hotels open longer, pointing to the Biden administration’s recent commitment to reimburse cities for certain COVID-19-related expenses, including hotel rooms, through the end of 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cohen said San Francisco’s program is also reliant on the city’s general fund, which precludes keeping the hotels open past next June. The city, she added, is closing the hotels gradually to avoid “a humanitarian and logistical nightmare.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It takes significant city and nonprofit staffing to move people from the hotels into housing,” Cohen said. “It’s not a quick process. And so we really need to have the capacity and the workers to do this process. Any delays will just result in a tremendous crisis at the end of the program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness, said she understands why the city would want to phase out the program gradually, but that right now, “lives are on the line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have folks that are elders that are out there on the street still that have severe health conditions that would greatly benefit from being able to shelter in place inside a hotel,” she said. “They need the respite. It’s been a really transformative experience for the folks inside [the hotels]. The mortality rates have decreased significantly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dominique Griffin, who helped organize Tuesday’s protest, participated in a related shelter-in-place program after losing her job early on in the pandemic. She and her two children were able to stay for free for a year at the Oasis Inn near City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it wasn’t for that hotel, I’d be out on the streets in a tent as well, with my children,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Griffin and her family are moving into a subsidized two- bedroom apartment in the East Bay city of Pittsburg, an arrangement set up for her by a San Francisco housing case manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she wants other people in need to have the same steadying experience she was able to have over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the funding is there, the need is always going to be there,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Insurers will receive incentive payments to offer new services and boost provider networks and, over time, the program will expand to more people and services.
