Redeveloping it would leave thousands of low-income families unable to afford to live in San Francisco, they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Buildings are in better condition than ever before,” says Randy Shaw, director of the \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thclinic.org/\">Tenderloin Housing Clinic\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>, a nonprofit that operates housing in the neighborhood. “It’s become San Francisco’s last working-class neighborhood, and the last it will ever have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The City’s Role\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And why don’t lawmakers step in to clean up the place? This could be one reason:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late 1940s, the city decided to redevelop another “troubled” section of town – \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/kqed/fillmore/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Fillmore\u003c/a>. Thousands of businesses were forced to close as the city pushed through urban development plans. More than 800 Victorian homes were demolished to make way for new housing and retail – built quickly and cheaply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without access to goods, services or jobs, many African American families left the neighborhood, and never returned. It is an urban redevelopment horror story that still haunts the city’s psyche, leaving lawmakers reluctant to stir the pot in the Tenderloin. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> Housing advocates say redeveloping it would leave thousands of low-income families unable to afford to live in the city. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“The city is very loath to step in and say, ‘Let’s sweep all this away. Let’s move it somewhere else,’” says Kamiya. “To simply take an undesirable population and go warehouse them someplace, it’s extremely problematic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cstrong>Is Change Inevitable?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While cities like London, New York and San Diego have been quick to redevelop similar neighborhoods, the Tenderloin has so far resisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Land-use protections, rent controls, zoning protections and a unique housing stock that has no single-family homes make it almost impossible to redevelop, says Shaw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The neighborhood has about 100 single-room-cccupancy hotels – known as SROs – that house many of the city’s poor and disabled residents. These units in particular are shielded from being replaced with upscale apartments, as has happened in other neighborhoods like the Mission District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the legal protections, longtime resident Judy Young eyes the new high-tech neighbors with suspicion. She wonders if a day might come when the Tenderloin becomes out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Families do live here because it is one of the most affordable places in the city,” she says. “If you can find a studio or one bedroom here for $1,200, that’s pretty affordable compared to other places.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is an understatement, as a recent city\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/12/03/247531636/as-rent-soars-longtime-san-francisco-tenants-fight-to-stay\"> report\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> found that the median rent in San Francisco has reached $3,400 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Spencer Michels reported on this story for “KQED Newsroom,” which is a weekly news magazine program on television, radio and online.

Garcia has applied for his green card but has been waiting for approval for nearly a decade. The court’s decision was unanimous and was authored by Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that an undocumented immigrant’s presence in this country violates federal statutes is not itself a sufficient or persuasive basis for denying undocumented immigrants, as a class, admission to the State Bar,” Cantil-Sakauye wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Garcia is now free to be sworn in as a lawyer and perform pro bono work and other legal duties, the decision does not enable him to be paid or to be employed by a law firm, his lawyers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court’s decision was the first of its kind in the nation. Similar cases are pending in New York and Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today on KQED’s Forum, Garcia was interviewed by Joshua Johnson. Garcia said he didn’t consider himself an advocate for undocumented immigrants, but “simply a professional trying to do what I consider to be the right thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Below is an edited transcript.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOSHUA JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: What was your reaction to the decision?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SERGIO GARCIA\u003c/strong>: I just broke down and started crying. This is a long journey. I decided to be an attorney when I was 10 years old; it’s taken me 26 years to finally see my dream realized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Why law?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>GARCIA\u003c/strong>: I always wanted to do law, Even though I come from an extremely poor family. I always thought that poor people should have a fair shake at justice too and people should get the justice they deserve not the justice they can afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Is there something that happened in your life to bring you to that realization?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>GARCIA\u003c/strong>: Yeah, I was in Mexico at the age of 10 and I saw poor people being locked up for unjust reasons and not let go unless they could bribe their way out of jail. I saw how much the families suffered trying to raise money to bribe their way out of there, and I have very low tolerance for injustice. Right then and there I made my decision that one day I would be a lawyer. Of course it was kind of a silly decision because I was a 10-year-old poor, stricken boy who went to school many times hungry with my shoes all torn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: your critics have questioned how you’re supposed to be able to protect people and bring forth justice and uphold the laws when your presence in this country is a violation of federal law. How do you respond to that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>GARCIA\u003c/strong>: I think when you’re successful you’re always going to have critics. It’s easy to simply say how can you uphold the law when you’re not lawful yourself. If you analyze my case, this is a civil infraction, being here waiting for my green card that’s been approved for 19 years from my dad’s application, who is a U.S. citizen.

Garcia has applied for his green card but has been waiting for approval for nearly a decade. The court’s decision was unanimous and was authored by Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that an undocumented immigrant’s presence in this country violates federal statutes is not itself a sufficient or persuasive basis for denying undocumented immigrants, as a class, admission to the State Bar,” Cantil-Sakauye wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Garcia is now free to be sworn in as a lawyer and perform pro bono work and other legal duties, the decision does not enable him to be paid or to be employed by a law firm, his lawyers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court’s decision was the first of its kind in the nation. Similar cases are pending in New York and Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today on KQED’s Forum, Garcia was interviewed by Joshua Johnson. Garcia said he didn’t consider himself an advocate for undocumented immigrants, but “simply a professional trying to do what I consider to be the right thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This is a long journey. I decided to be an attorney when I was 10 years old; it’s taken me 26 years to finally see my dream realized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Why law?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>GARCIA\u003c/strong>: I always wanted to do law, Even though I come from an extremely poor family. I always thought that poor people should have a fair shake at justice too and people should get the justice they deserve not the justice they can afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Is there something that happened in your life to bring you to that realization?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>GARCIA\u003c/strong>: Yeah, I was in Mexico at the age of 10 and I saw poor people being locked up for unjust reasons and not let go unless they could bribe their way out of jail. I saw how much the families suffered trying to raise money to bribe their way out of there, and I have very low tolerance for injustice. Right then and there I made my decision that one day I would be a lawyer. Of course it was kind of a silly decision because I was a 10-year-old poor, stricken boy who went to school many times hungry with my shoes all torn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: your critics have questioned how you’re supposed to be able to protect people and bring forth justice and uphold the laws when your presence in this country is a violation of federal law. How do you respond to that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>GARCIA\u003c/strong>: I think when you’re successful you’re always going to have critics. It’s easy to simply say how can you uphold the law when you’re not lawful yourself. If you analyze my case, this is a civil infraction, being here waiting for my green card that’s been approved for 19 years from my dad’s application, who is a U.S. citizen. It’s a civil violation, subject to a $50 fine. That shows you how little the federal government really thinks of it as a violation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was brought here as a minor. After that I applied for and was approved for a green card, so the only thing I’m doing is waiting until that green card becomes available. If anyone is going to be upset, they should be talking to the federal government and wondering why it takes 19 years to get a green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: What are you going to do from here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>GARCIA\u003c/strong>: I have to plan out my swearing-in ceremony and also I have a foundation.

When I was four years old, my mom came to the United States. Nobody told me anything and so when my aunt arrived at the house, I asked her where my mom was, my aunt answered me that my mom had to leave because she couldn't find any work to support our family. I felt so very sad because my mom was my light, the one who took care of me and who gave me all of her love and affection. When I no longer had her near, I felt my heart was splitting and I'd cry so much that I couldn't even breathe, just thinking that she had abandoned me and that I would never see her again....It has been a few months since I came here to live with my mom.

I consider myself very fortunate because I know that there are millions of people in the world who do not have anything and they starve to death. That's why food is such a treasure to me and it hurts me to see when others waste it throwing it away in the garbage. Finally, I give thanks for having the opportunity to learn in this school and for advancing more — well, in the school where I used to be, I didn't get to read every day nor did they teach me how to divide.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Teachers at the Mission Education Center face many challenges when trying to prepare their students for other district elementary schools, where most instruction is in English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really, really hard not only for the academic background, because some of them have never been in school before, but also the emotional impact,\" said fourth and fifth grade teacher Lilly Chow.

When I was four years old, my mom came to the United States. Nobody told me anything and so when my aunt arrived at the house, I asked her where my mom was, my aunt answered me that my mom had to leave because she couldn't find any work to support our family. I felt so very sad because my mom was my light, the one who took care of me and who gave me all of her love and affection. When I no longer had her near, I felt my heart was splitting and I'd cry so much that I couldn't even breathe, just thinking that she had abandoned me and that I would never see her again....It has been a few months since I came here to live with my mom. At first I felt very confused but then little by little I got used to her.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Another student, Daniela Renderos, wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I give thanks for all the meals and food that my parents give me and for those which I receive at school. I consider myself very fortunate because I know that there are millions of people in the world who do not have anything and they starve to death. That's why food is such a treasure to me and it hurts me to see when others waste it throwing it away in the garbage. Finally, I give thanks for having the opportunity to learn in this school and for advancing more — well, in the school where I used to be, I didn't get to read every day nor did they teach me how to divide.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Teachers at the Mission Education Center face many challenges when trying to prepare their students for other district elementary schools, where most instruction is in English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
