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.",

Scott Wiener and a host of co-authors, aims to tackle California’s housing crisis by requiring cities to allow dramatically intensified development near “high-quality” transit stops such as BART and Caltrain stations and along corridors served by frequent commute bus service. The bill also includes new development requirements for job centers not yet served by rapid transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact would border on the revolutionary. Both major cities and surrounding suburbs would face a state mandate to allow multistory, multifamily developments in many neighborhoods long zoned predominantly for single-family housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener and the bill’s sponsors, led by the California YIMBY pro-development group and including the California Association of Realtors and the Nonprofit Housing Association of Northern California, argue the legislation would help ease the state’s estimated 3.5 million-unit housing deficit and is crucial to meet its ambitious goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal has been derailed twice, first as SB 827, when it failed its first committee vote, and then last May, when state Sen. Anthony Portantino, D-La Cañada-Flintridge, used his authority as chair of the upper chamber’s Appropriations Committee to defer action on the bill until this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In shelving the bill, Portantino called it “a well-intentioned effort to help solve our state’s housing crisis” but one that might trigger a chain of unintended consequences, including discouraging cities from developing new transit systems that would require higher-density zoning along their routes.\u003cbr>\n[aside tag=\"sb-50\" label=\"More on SB 50\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portantino said he preferred offering cities incentives rather than imposing mandates and hoped delaying Wiener’s bill until 2020 would “result in a more targeted legislative effort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amendments Wiener and his allies formally introduced late Monday night attempt to answer concerns heard from cities and advocates for lower-income Californians: first by offering local governments some flexibility in how they implement SB 50’s requirements, and second by including a clause that would ensure low-income residents are given priority for the new housing units the bill requires in their neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s new language on local flexibility would give cities the option of crafting their own housing plans as long as those blueprints create at least the same number of new units as SB 50 would. To ensure that housing commitment is met, city plans would be subject to review by the state Department of Housing and Community Development and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities’ plans would also be barred from resulting in increased vehicle travel and would be required to distribute new housing equally among affluent and lower-income areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A city could not just push all of its development into some remote area that’s not connected to jobs or transit,” Wiener said in a Monday media call on the amendments. “And a city could not say we’re going to put all of our density into low-income neighborhoods and communities of color but maintain more low-density zoning in more affluent areas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “neighborhood preference” provision in the amended bill would give local residents priority for 40% of new units developed under the law and designated for low, very low and extremely low income households.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those provisions leave the heart of SB 50, most of which would take effect Jan. 1, 2023, largely unchanged. The bill’s central proposal — requiring cities in the 15 counties with populations of 600,000 or more to approve buildings in the four- to five-story range near train stations and along the busiest bus lines — is intact. In the Bay Area, that requirement would apply in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In less populous counties, cities with 50,000 or more residents would be required to allow buildings 15 feet higher than the current maximum for residential or mixed-use structures. Bay Area municipalities that could be affected include San Rafael, Santa Rosa, Vallejo, Fairfield and Vacaville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill leaves in place a provision that would end single-family zoning throughout the state by allowing property owners to build up to four units of housing on vacant parcels or to convert existing buildings into fourplexes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal would require projects approved under the bill to include 15% to 25% lower-income units, depending on the project size. The bill would also seek to prevent tenant displacement by restricting demolition of existing rental housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill also continues to grant a five-year delay for implementation, until 2026, for areas designated as “sensitive communities” — those peopled mostly by renters and low-income residents and which may have experienced high rates of racial segregation, poverty and exposure to environmental hazards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said Monday the changes in the bill reflect intensive consultation with local government officials “who have said, ‘We understand what you’re trying to do with this bill, we support what you’re trying to do with this bill, but can you please give us some additional flexibility, because every city has unique features.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation will come up for a final vote in the state Senate by the end of January and will still face a series of hurdles, including a lengthy Assembly amendment process, before becoming law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said he is confident that with an increasingly diverse collection of supporters — including business, labor, community groups, affordable housing groups, environmental groups, senior organizations and college student associations — the bill is gaining momentum.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=\"news_11793596,news_11793325,news_11793117\" label=\"Bay Area transportation coverage\"]\u003cbr>\n“I think what it says is that more and more people understand that while SB 50 is not a silver bullet … it’s a big part of addressing our housing crisis,” Wiener said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It remains to be seen whether the SB 50 amendments will win over local officials and their constituents who have fought Wiener’s proposal from the beginning and hold sway with his legislative colleagues.

But while about 1 in 9 Americans lives in California, roughly 1 in 4 homeless Americans lives here. New York and Hawaii have slightly higher per capita rates of homelessness, but California has the largest proportion of people living without shelter. That means the state’s homeless population is far more visible than in other places, and more vulnerable to the illness, violence \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-homeless-hypothermia-20190217-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">and death\u003c/a> that accompany living on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And although states such as Texas and New York have seen a slight uptick in their homeless counts since last year, California saw the largest proportional swell of any state besides New Mexico.

A new project coming on line in San Jose is estimated to pencil out at roughly $470,000 per unit. The outrageous price tags aren’t just driven by land costs — a shortage of construction labor and prolonged city approval processes are also to blame.

The budget includes funding to increase welfare grants for low-income families with children, to house mentally ill patients who are homeless or at-risk, and to rapidly rehouse college students who become homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The largest chunk, $650 million, went to emergency aid for California’s cities and counties to build more emergency shelters, medium- and long-term housing and motel conversions. But that money didn’t start flowing immediately: Cities and counties couldn’t apply for the funds until \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Trump-administration-holding-up-California-14882297.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">early December.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to get local governments to cooperate with his homelessness agenda, Newsom also signed a suite of \u003ca href=\"http://a%20suite%20of%20new%20california%20laws%20also%20take%20stab%20at%20the%20state%27s%20severe%20shortage%20of%20emergency%20shelter%20beds%20by%20removing%20regulatory%20barriers%20for%20cities%20and%20counties%20to%20build%20more.bhttps//apnews.com/d3943138ee224eaa84db9c957e9d3963\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"bills (opens in a new tab)\">bills\u003c/a> that remove regulatory barriers to building more housing for homeless people.

The report also cast doubt on the efficacy of permanent supportive housing, prompting a homelessness expert at the University of California San Francisco to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/multimedia/podcasts/gimme-shelter/2019/09/california-housing-crisis-gimme-shelter-podcast-event/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">compare\u003c/a> the White House’s findings to climate change denial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some fear the Trump administration intends to try to force homeless people living on California’s streets to move to former federal armories and other converted federal buildings.

Four communities have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.usich.gov/communities-that-have-ended-homelessness/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recognized\u003c/a> by the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness for effectively ending chronic homelessness, meaning that any homeless person with a disability is immediately provided shelter and is able to land permanent housing within 90 days if he or she wants. Three states and 78 communities have ended veteran homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Houston has reduced homelessness by over half, from a peak of around 8,500 in 2011 to around 4,000 in 2019, according to federal point-in-time data. The city began by bringing together more than 100 agencies, including the city of Houston, the counties, nonprofit agencies, businesses and the federal HUD. Coalition members continually update a \u003ca href=\"http://www.homelesshouston.org/hmis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data dashboard\u003c/a> that tracks homeless people as they interact with shelters and services. During regular meetings, they match a list of homeless people seeking permanent supportive housing with spots. A sobriety center provides a safe place for people who are publicly intoxicated to sober up — and avoid an arrest record. Federal funding has been key to bringing thousands of new supportive housing units online: HUD nearly doubled its funding for Houston homelessness programs between 2008 and 2018, to \u003ca href=\"https://www.texastribune.org/2019/07/02/why-homelessness-going-down-houston-dallas/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$38.2 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/c5832fa8-1e0d-49be-9c09-b23ffc55e734?src=embed\" title=\"Homelessness in Houston\" width=\"550\" height=\"796\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Atlanta, a city similar in population to Sacramento or Long Beach, the homeless population has also more than halved since 2010, even as rents have raced upwards. Like Houston, Atlanta has embraced the “housing first” approach, investing \u003ca href=\"https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2019/02/22/atlanta-reduce-homelessness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">public and private dollars\u003c/a> in a growing stock of low-barrier shelter beds, rapid rehousing units and permanent supportive housing.

City Council President Rebecca Kaplan floated a plan to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Councilwoman-says-a-cruise-ship-at-Oakland-s-14897717.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">house up to 1,000 homeless residents on a cruise ship\u003c/a> in the city’s port. Though not a novel idea — cruise ships offered emergency shelter during Hurricane Katrina — the Port of Oakland instantly dismissed the proposal as “untenable,” while Twitter users pointed out the \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2019/12/13/oakland-is-considering-housing-its-homeless-cruise-ships-could-it-actually-happen/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">irony\u003c/a> of housing people in boats rather than actual homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11677912\" label=\"Cabin communities\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland is also home to another controversial solution: move the homeless out of street encampments and into metal structures more often used as tool sheds. The city currently operates four “cabin communities,” which include electricity, security guards and supportive services. About \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Are-Oakland-s-cabins-a-success-Homeless-14477680.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">two-thirds of residents\u003c/a> who have been through the program have found more permanent shelter — a statistic the city calls a success. Supporters of the sheds — including Riverside Mayor Rusty Bailey, who has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.pe.com/2019/12/14/why-riversides-mayor-is-sleeping-in-an-8-by-8-metal-shed-to-help-the-homeless/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sleeping in one himself to garner local support\u003c/a> for the strategy — say that they are warmer, safer, and more humane than sleeping in tents on cement. Detractors argue that the cramped structures are a poor substitute for permanent supportive housing or building affordable apartments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities around the country have jumped on the tiny house craze, building \u003ca href=\"https://www.curbed.com/maps/tiny-houses-for-the-homeless-villages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">villages\u003c/a> of the pint-sized dwellings for the homeless.

Permanent supportive housing is a pillar of the “housing first” model of ending homelessness: Individuals don’t need to quit drugs or agree to participate in any program to get a permanent roof over their head. \u003ca href=\"https://www.rand.org/blog/2018/01/housing-for-health-los-angeles-countys-department-of.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Studies show\u003c/a> that once placed in permanent supportive housing, residents tend to stay off the streets and out of the hospital and jail, saving taxpayers considerable expense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One problem: Permanent supportive housing is really expensive to build.

A new project coming on line in San Jose is estimated to pencil out at roughly $470,000 per unit. The outrageous price tags aren’t just driven by land costs — a shortage of construction labor and prolonged city approval processes are also to blame.

The report also cast doubt on the efficacy of permanent supportive housing, prompting a homelessness expert at the University of California San Francisco to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/multimedia/podcasts/gimme-shelter/2019/09/california-housing-crisis-gimme-shelter-podcast-event/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">compare\u003c/a> the White House’s findings to climate change denial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some fear the Trump administration intends to try to force homeless people living on California’s streets to move to former federal armories and other converted federal buildings.

Four communities have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.usich.gov/communities-that-have-ended-homelessness/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recognized\u003c/a> by the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness for effectively ending chronic homelessness, meaning that any homeless person with a disability is immediately provided shelter and is able to land permanent housing within 90 days if he or she wants. Three states and 78 communities have ended veteran homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Houston has reduced homelessness by over half, from a peak of around 8,500 in 2011 to around 4,000 in 2019, according to federal point-in-time data. The city began by bringing together more than 100 agencies, including the city of Houston, the counties, nonprofit agencies, businesses and the federal HUD. Coalition members continually update a \u003ca href=\"http://www.homelesshouston.org/hmis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data dashboard\u003c/a> that tracks homeless people as they interact with shelters and services. During regular meetings, they match a list of homeless people seeking permanent supportive housing with spots. A sobriety center provides a safe place for people who are publicly intoxicated to sober up — and avoid an arrest record. Federal funding has been key to bringing thousands of new supportive housing units online: HUD nearly doubled its funding for Houston homelessness programs between 2008 and 2018, to \u003ca href=\"https://www.texastribune.org/2019/07/02/why-homelessness-going-down-houston-dallas/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$38.2 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/c5832fa8-1e0d-49be-9c09-b23ffc55e734?src=embed\" title=\"Homelessness in Houston\" width=\"550\" height=\"796\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Atlanta, a city similar in population to Sacramento or Long Beach, the homeless population has also more than halved since 2010, even as rents have raced upwards.

In previous years, utility lines and other equipment sparked fires when winds were extreme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom declared he “owned” the blackouts and would fight to keep them from happening again, putting himself squarely in the center of an issue that had prompted a public outcry.

Perhaps the most consequential was the Trump administration's efforts to stop California from continuing to set its own auto emissions regulations. In response, Newsom teamed with four major automakers to go against Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he wasn't battling with the president, Newsom was advancing policy at a frenetic pace. He began the year by placing \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11732471/gov-newsom-to-end-death-penalty-by-executive-order-political-fallout-likely\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a moratorium on executions\u003c/a> for the more than 730 people on California's death row, the largest in the Western Hemisphere.
