sensitive data into a sophisticated algorithm powered by artificial intelligence, RealPage has found a modern way to violate a century-old law through systematic coordination of rental housing prices

A typical 5,000-square-foot property could potentially have five to seven units, not including ADUs. Neighborhoods in the Berkeley hills, with steep, narrow, winding roads, are excluded because of fire-safety concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Rashi Kesarwani, who has long championed the proposal, said the idea is to promote more housing on existing lots, with the expectation that the new homes will be more accessible to middle-income earners who don’t qualify for deed-restricted affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal is to think about the future of our city and what kind of community we want to be,” Kesarwani said. “I believe that we need to be a city that has housing opportunities for our middle-class workers. And really, the only way we can do that cost-effectively is through middle housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldwin’s block already has a diverse mix of single-family homes, duplexes and the occasional low-rise apartment building, making it emblematic of the kind of development the city’s proposed Middle Housing ordinance seeks to promote. Despite this mix, the neighborhood maintains a suburban feel, she said. Baldwin is concerned that the plan could pressure the remaining working-class families to sell, driving them out of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is middle housing getting us, besides what I fear is the opportunity for basically really large profiteering companies to come and strip our neighborhood of the community that we have,” she asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12045599\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12045599\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250623-BERKELEYMIDDLEHOUSING-14-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250623-BERKELEYMIDDLEHOUSING-14-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250623-BERKELEYMIDDLEHOUSING-14-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250623-BERKELEYMIDDLEHOUSING-14-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An apartment building in Berkeley on June 23, 2025. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Her fears were echoed in \u003ca href=\"https://records.cityofberkeley.info/PublicAccess/api/Document/AY6R0ICLRi%C3%89I234utuTkx9iIqj755tb9wZppF2iGC%C3%81oYukxBg2GzZxdeoyRdXi6G0eZY03AA90QQ6g5%C3%89I%C3%81hjxz0%3D/\">letters sent to the council\u003c/a> ahead of Thursday’s meeting. Some residents, like Clifford Fred, are concerned about the sheer volume of development that could be unleashed, writing: “Berkeley city officials are turning what used to be a beautiful, low-rise, human-scaled city into an ugly warren of high rises and massive buildings stretching relentlessly from the Oakland border to the Albany border.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others are more apprehensive about where the new homes and apartments would be built. The proposed Middle Housing ordinance would allow greater density in parts of the city that have historically allowed duplexes and apartments, and less density in the city’s existing single-family neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This would only further exacerbate disparities in development, wrote a group of residents, including Eugene Turitz of Friends of Adeline and Wilhelimenia Wilson, executive director of Healthy Black Families Inc., in a joint letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Middle Housing] is discriminatory because of its predictable consequences, as neighborhoods in the ‘flats’ become repositories of excessive densities — with no additional amenities like parks or neighborhood-supporting services,” they wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear, however, how developers will respond to Berkeley’s Middle Housing proposal, should it be adopted.

Projects proposing three or more units are reviewed under the Commercial Building Code, which creates higher construction and permitting costs. Projects with four or more units require a licensed professional, which adds more cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento’s experience, though nascent, aligns with predictions from a study David Garcia \u003ca href=\"https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Missing-Middle-Development-Math-Final-June-2024.pdf\">published last year\u003c/a> for UC Berkeley’s Terner Center on Housing Innovation.

So, it’s not just the zoning,” Garcia told KQED. “It’s all these other little rules that dictate what can be built on the sites — whether that’s setbacks, height restrictions, roof pitch materials, easements, things like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Developers who pursue middle housing projects often find themselves mired in site-by-site problem-solving, Garcia said, making the projects unappealing to large, corporate investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no economies of scale there,” Garcia said. “A traditional large developer is not really gonna get out of bed for anything lower than 100 units. And that’s not what we’re talking about here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan Klein, director of planning and development in Berkeley, thinks it unlikely his department will be overwhelmed with applications. In the first three years after the state’s lot-split law, SB 9, went into effect, developers submitted 17 applications, 12 of which were deemed eligible.

Some residents, like Clifford Fred, are concerned about the sheer volume of development that could be unleashed, writing: “Berkeley city officials are turning what used to be a beautiful, low-rise, human-scaled city into an ugly warren of high rises and massive buildings stretching relentlessly from the Oakland border to the Albany border.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others are more apprehensive about where the new homes and apartments would be built. The proposed Middle Housing ordinance would allow greater density in parts of the city that have historically allowed duplexes and apartments, and less density in the city’s existing single-family neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This would only further exacerbate disparities in development, wrote a group of residents, including Eugene Turitz of Friends of Adeline and Wilhelimenia Wilson, executive director of Healthy Black Families Inc., in a joint letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Middle Housing] is discriminatory because of its predictable consequences, as neighborhoods in the ‘flats’ become repositories of excessive densities — with no additional amenities like parks or neighborhood-supporting services,” they wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear, however, how developers will respond to Berkeley’s Middle Housing proposal, should it be adopted.

Projects proposing three or more units are reviewed under the Commercial Building Code, which creates higher construction and permitting costs. Projects with four or more units require a licensed professional, which adds more cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento’s experience, though nascent, aligns with predictions from a study David Garcia \u003ca href=\"https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Missing-Middle-Development-Math-Final-June-2024.pdf\">published last year\u003c/a> for UC Berkeley’s Terner Center on Housing Innovation.

So, it’s not just the zoning,” Garcia told KQED. “It’s all these other little rules that dictate what can be built on the sites — whether that’s setbacks, height restrictions, roof pitch materials, easements, things like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Developers who pursue middle housing projects often find themselves mired in site-by-site problem-solving, Garcia said, making the projects unappealing to large, corporate investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no economies of scale there,” Garcia said. “A traditional large developer is not really gonna get out of bed for anything lower than 100 units. And that’s not what we’re talking about here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan Klein, director of planning and development in Berkeley, thinks it unlikely his department will be overwhelmed with applications. In the first three years after the state’s lot-split law, SB 9, went into effect, developers submitted 17 applications, 12 of which were deemed eligible.

Berkeley’s Black population peaked in 1970 at \u003ca href=\"https://census.bayareametro.gov/historical-data/1970/berkeley\">about 24%\u003c/a> of the population. In 2024, it was \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/berkeleycitycalifornia/PST045223\">just over 7%\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exodus is felt on Sunday strolls through South Berkeley, as much as it is heard. Where gospel music once rang out from churches, now there is silence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was such a wonderful celebration,” Matthews said, recalling her weekly walks some three decades ago. “You would interact with people that would walk by. They’d stop and start talking with you, and people would kind of do a little rhythm dance or hand clapping or just something that they enjoyed about listening to that music.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past 25 years, the price of a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.zillow.com/research/data/\">typical\u003c/a>” Berkeley home rose more than 270%, from around $385,000 in January 2000 to just over $1.4 million in May 2025, according to Zillow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the Middle Housing ordinance doesn’t specifically address homeownership, the city is considering separate proposals to allow homeowners to \u003ca href=\"https://berkeleyca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2024-05-14%20Item%2028%20Increasing%20Entry%20Level%20Homeownership%20Opportunities%20Implementation%20of%20AB%201033_0.pdf\">convert ADUs into condominiums\u003c/a> and to \u003ca href=\"https://berkeleyca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2025-01-21%20Item%2026%20Expanding%20Homeownership.pdf\">subdivide lots\u003c/a> that don’t qualify under the state’s lot split law. Taken together with Middle Housing, Matthews said, it will allow more opportunity for homeownership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I’m hoping is that it will provide an opportunity, first of all, for homeownership and access to people who haven’t had it before, or who feel that they’ve been left out for a number of years — and rightfully so,” she said. “That assumption, that feeling, that lack of being able to participate in the housing market, it has been very accurate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she said the final proposal should provide that opportunity throughout the city, rather than concentrating development in areas that have already borne the brunt of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Berkeley must implement inclusionary housing development in more than a ceremonial process,” Matthews said. “Middle Housing must be an equitable action throughout our city, providing housing in every district and neighborhood to meet residents’ needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s become personal, and we will take this as far as we need to take it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corzo said she looks forward to the day when all the information available to supervisors is made public, including transcripts from Corpus’ Skelly hearing, a routine, pre-disciplinary process for public employees in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That pre-removal conference was held behind closed doors, and the report from the county’s Chief Probation Officer John Keene has been kept confidential at Corpus’ request, according to the county. In it, \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcgov.org/ceo/news/san-mateo-county-supervisors-accept-recommendation-remove-sheriff-christina-corpus-office\">he stated\u003c/a> that he found Corpus “violated the for-cause provisions” and that her removal was warranted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides Cordell’s extensive report, the county also relied on an investigation prepared by the law firm Keker, Van Nest & Peters, which used 524 pages of documentary evidence and 42 witness interviews. That report concluded that Corpus violated the law “related to the performance of the sheriff’s duties … flagrant and repeated neglect of the sheriff’s duties … and obstruction of an investigation into the conduct of the sheriff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We stand firm in knowing that this process is one that will do right by the community and is the right thing to do,” Corzo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board’s vote on Tuesday brings San Mateo County into entirely uncharted territory, as no other charter county board has successfully voted to remove its sheriff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County voters gave supervisors the authority to remove then-Sheriff Alex Villanueva in 2022, but the board didn’t need to use it as he lost re-election to a primary challenger. San Francisco’s board brought then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi to a vote of potential removal in 2012, but not enough supervisors voted to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County Attorney John D. Nibbelin said the county would officially notify Corpus of the board’s vote via email. She then has five calendar days to file a notice of appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county, then, is obligated to offer her the option to pick one of “three neutral hearing officers with experience in public safety officer disciplinary matters” to oversee a formal removal hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Corpus chooses her preferred officer to oversee her hearing, it could occur in private, if Corpus chooses to, within 30 to 60 calendar days after the officer has been notified. After that hearing is concluded, the hearing officer would have 45 days to submit a written advisory opinion to the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thereafter, the board would have 30 days to act on that advisory opinion,” Nibbelin said, reiterating that Tuesday’s vote “would constitute a final decision of this board to remove the sheriff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

It’s become personal, and we will take this as far as we need to take it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corzo said she looks forward to the day when all the information available to supervisors is made public, including transcripts from Corpus’ Skelly hearing, a routine, pre-disciplinary process for public employees in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That pre-removal conference was held behind closed doors, and the report from the county’s Chief Probation Officer John Keene has been kept confidential at Corpus’ request, according to the county. In it, \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcgov.org/ceo/news/san-mateo-county-supervisors-accept-recommendation-remove-sheriff-christina-corpus-office\">he stated\u003c/a> that he found Corpus “violated the for-cause provisions” and that her removal was warranted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides Cordell’s extensive report, the county also relied on an investigation prepared by the law firm Keker, Van Nest & Peters, which used 524 pages of documentary evidence and 42 witness interviews. That report concluded that Corpus violated the law “related to the performance of the sheriff’s duties … flagrant and repeated neglect of the sheriff’s duties … and obstruction of an investigation into the conduct of the sheriff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We stand firm in knowing that this process is one that will do right by the community and is the right thing to do,” Corzo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board’s vote on Tuesday brings San Mateo County into entirely uncharted territory, as no other charter county board has successfully voted to remove its sheriff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County voters gave supervisors the authority to remove then-Sheriff Alex Villanueva in 2022, but the board didn’t need to use it as he lost re-election to a primary challenger. San Francisco’s board brought then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi to a vote of potential removal in 2012, but not enough supervisors voted to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County Attorney John D. Nibbelin said the county would officially notify Corpus of the board’s vote via email. She then has five calendar days to file a notice of appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county, then, is obligated to offer her the option to pick one of “three neutral hearing officers with experience in public safety officer disciplinary matters” to oversee a formal removal hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Corpus chooses her preferred officer to oversee her hearing, it could occur in private, if Corpus chooses to, within 30 to 60 calendar days after the officer has been notified. After that hearing is concluded, the hearing officer would have 45 days to submit a written advisory opinion to the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thereafter, the board would have 30 days to act on that advisory opinion,” Nibbelin said, reiterating that Tuesday’s vote “would constitute a final decision of this board to remove the sheriff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

How do we keep each other safe?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Taking party drugs (molly, cocaine, ketamine, 2C-B or “tusi”) has become more dangerous in recent years as these drugs are now being laced with fentanyl more frequently. And while we’re certainly not encouraging folks to do drugs at Pride, we do hope this information can help reduce the risk of a bad trip or an accidental overdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Before going out …\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First off, Cuadra said, check in with yourself now, before the weekend starts, about what type of experience you want to have. “If you’re being realistic with yourself and you would like to do some drugs this weekend,” he said, “that’s probably something you want to prepare for ahead of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making a decision now about what you want to do can keep you from making risky decisions later on, Cuadra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You run a risk whenever you take any drugs, but I think the risk is heightened if you’re at a club and looking for drugs right there and then,” he said. “Maybe you don’t know the person that’s selling it to you at the club. You just might be a little bit more desperate for whatever you can get your hands on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cuadra adds that if you do buy drugs, it’s best to do so in advance and from someone you know and trust — which, in turn, gives you more time to test for fentanyl. Many party drugs are increasingly laced with fentanyl, many times without the user’s knowledge. A 2022 scientific study found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/09/14/1199396794/fentanyl-mixed-with-cocaine-or-meth-is-driving-the-4th-wave-of-the-overdose-cris\">nearly a third of overdoses reported nationwide in 2021 involved both fentanyl and stimulants such as \u003c/a>cocaine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you were told by someone else that none of your drugs have fentanyl, it’s still a good idea to test them for yourself, Cuadra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People who do drugs that are not opioids sometimes think, ‘Well, I’m not doing opioids, so why should I be testing for fentanyl?’” he said. “Unfortunately, more opioid overdoses happen with people who are not used to those drugs because your body hasn’t built up a tolerance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonprofit FentCheck \u003ca href=\"https://fentcheck.org/check-your-drugs-1\">provides a list of bars and other community spaces\u003c/a> that offer fentanyl test strips and Narcan. The group also has a \u003ca href=\"https://fentcheck.org/check-your-drugs\">step-by-step tutorial on using test strips\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>While you’re out …\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wherever you end up on Pride weekend, go with a group of friends. Even if you end up meeting someone else, Cuadra said, having your friends nearby can make the night less anxiety-inducing, especially if you’re having a bad trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if you’re taking a drug regularly, it might not have the desired effect that day,” he said. “It might just mean you’re in a different space, and it’s just nice to check in with someone and take whatever steps you need to get into a better headspace or a safer environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something else to consider bringing with you when going out: Narcan. Narcan is the brand name for a naloxone nasal spray that is administered to someone when they are experiencing an opioid overdose (including from fentanyl).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone can buy Narcan at a pharmacy without needing a prescription, and you can also get it free of charge at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/location/behavioral-health-access-center-bhac\">San Francisco Department of Public Health’s Community Behavioral Health Services\u003c/a> pharmacy at 1380 Howard St. The pharmacy is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"safer-sex-sf-pride-testing\">\u003c/a>Hooking up with somebody new? Protect each other’s sexual health\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For decades, Pride in San Francisco has been a time when LGBTQ+ people have come together \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfaf.org/resource-library/sfaf-history/\">to advocate for the health needs of their community\u003c/a>. Part of celebrating Pride is honoring that legacy and protecting our own sexual health and that of our partners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the most important things one can do before initiating a new sexual relationship is to get screened for HIV and STIs (sexually transmitted infections) and to know your status,” said Dr. Stephanie Cohen, director of HIV and STI prevention at the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have insurance, call your health care provider and share that you need to know your status ahead of Pride weekend. And if you are uninsured, multiple clinics around the Bay Area offer free or low-cost STI testing.

She acknowledges these talks can sometimes be a bit awkward, especially if you are just getting to know the person. “Some people prefer to have those conversations via chat, especially if they’re meeting someone on an app,” she said. “That’s perhaps a little lower stress than a face-to-face conversation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And remember, these conversations don’t have to be a thorough examination of each other’s dating history. They can be pretty straightforward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Make sure to ask your partner if they’ve been tested, what prevention strategies they use and decide [on] condoms or something that you or your partner also want to use as an additional layer of protection,” Cohen said. “We always want to think about all these different options together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was originally published on June 18.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

How do we keep each other safe?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Taking party drugs (molly, cocaine, ketamine, 2C-B or “tusi”) has become more dangerous in recent years as these drugs are now being laced with fentanyl more frequently. And while we’re certainly not encouraging folks to do drugs at Pride, we do hope this information can help reduce the risk of a bad trip or an accidental overdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Before going out …\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First off, Cuadra said, check in with yourself now, before the weekend starts, about what type of experience you want to have. “If you’re being realistic with yourself and you would like to do some drugs this weekend,” he said, “that’s probably something you want to prepare for ahead of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making a decision now about what you want to do can keep you from making risky decisions later on, Cuadra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You run a risk whenever you take any drugs, but I think the risk is heightened if you’re at a club and looking for drugs right there and then,” he said. “Maybe you don’t know the person that’s selling it to you at the club. You just might be a little bit more desperate for whatever you can get your hands on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cuadra adds that if you do buy drugs, it’s best to do so in advance and from someone you know and trust — which, in turn, gives you more time to test for fentanyl. Many party drugs are increasingly laced with fentanyl, many times without the user’s knowledge. A 2022 scientific study found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/09/14/1199396794/fentanyl-mixed-with-cocaine-or-meth-is-driving-the-4th-wave-of-the-overdose-cris\">nearly a third of overdoses reported nationwide in 2021 involved both fentanyl and stimulants such as \u003c/a>cocaine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you were told by someone else that none of your drugs have fentanyl, it’s still a good idea to test them for yourself, Cuadra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People who do drugs that are not opioids sometimes think, ‘Well, I’m not doing opioids, so why should I be testing for fentanyl?’” he said. “Unfortunately, more opioid overdoses happen with people who are not used to those drugs because your body hasn’t built up a tolerance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonprofit FentCheck \u003ca href=\"https://fentcheck.org/check-your-drugs-1\">provides a list of bars and other community spaces\u003c/a> that offer fentanyl test strips and Narcan. The group also has a \u003ca href=\"https://fentcheck.org/check-your-drugs\">step-by-step tutorial on using test strips\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>While you’re out …\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wherever you end up on Pride weekend, go with a group of friends. Even if you end up meeting someone else, Cuadra said, having your friends nearby can make the night less anxiety-inducing, especially if you’re having a bad trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if you’re taking a drug regularly, it might not have the desired effect that day,” he said. “It might just mean you’re in a different space, and it’s just nice to check in with someone and take whatever steps you need to get into a better headspace or a safer environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something else to consider bringing with you when going out: Narcan. Narcan is the brand name for a naloxone nasal spray that is administered to someone when they are experiencing an opioid overdose (including from fentanyl).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone can buy Narcan at a pharmacy without needing a prescription, and you can also get it free of charge at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/location/behavioral-health-access-center-bhac\">San Francisco Department of Public Health’s Community Behavioral Health Services\u003c/a> pharmacy at 1380 Howard St. The pharmacy is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"safer-sex-sf-pride-testing\">\u003c/a>Hooking up with somebody new? Protect each other’s sexual health\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For decades, Pride in San Francisco has been a time when LGBTQ+ people have come together \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfaf.org/resource-library/sfaf-history/\">to advocate for the health needs of their community\u003c/a>. Part of celebrating Pride is honoring that legacy and protecting our own sexual health and that of our partners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the most important things one can do before initiating a new sexual relationship is to get screened for HIV and STIs (sexually transmitted infections) and to know your status,” said Dr. Stephanie Cohen, director of HIV and STI prevention at the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have insurance, call your health care provider and share that you need to know your status ahead of Pride weekend.

East Bay Rep. Lateefah Simon called the U.S. strikes on Iran “lawless, dangerous and immoral.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we normalize war as a reactionary decision, an easy decision … we lose our moral compass as a nation,” Simon said. “No one is safe under a presidency that chooses bombs over dialogue, chaos over peace.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Jared Huffman, who represents the North Coast, echoed those sentiments, saying that Trump’s actions in Iran are not just dangerous, but “a direct violation of the constitution and Congress’s authority to declare war.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huffman added that there were “diplomatic and strategic alternatives to address the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions” that the administration ignored.\u003cbr>\n“What may seem ‘successful’ in the moment is more likely to lead to awful ramifications for our service members, national security, and our global credibility,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Bay Rep. Sam Liccardo stressed the danger of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, and urged the country’s leaders to allow international inspectors to return their work unimpeded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we can’t get to that point then we continue to have a threat from Iran, and that threat will take many forms,” Liccardo said. “They will pick the retaliation [against U.S. troops] at a time and place of their choosing, and American lives will be lost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Disagreement among national Democrats\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After nearly two years of stark divisions over the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war\">war in Gaza\u003c/a> and support for Israel, Democrats seemed to remain at odds over policy toward Iran. Progressives demanded unified opposition before Trump announced U.S. strikes against Tehran’s nuclear program but party leaders were treading more cautiously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. leaders of all stripes have found common ground for two decades on the position that Iran could not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. The longtime U.S. foe has supported groups that have killed Americans across the Mideast and threatened to destroy Israel. \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-war-nuclear-talks-geneva-news-06-21-2025-a7b0cdaba28b5817467ccf712d214579\">But Trump’s announcement Saturday that the U.S. had struck three nuclear sites\u003c/a> could become the Democratic Party’s latest schism, just as it was \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/trump-iran-maga-tucker-carlson-charlie-kirk-409c839e4eadf2a39a1b957213379b08\">sharply dividing\u003c/a> Trump’s isolationist \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/trump-iran-israel-maga-jones-kirk-carlson-greene-bannon-7ffad821874e1a68b63ff1308c5ba4e9\">“Make America Great Again”\u003c/a> base from more hawkish conservatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Committee, noted that in January, Trump suggested the U.S. could “measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today, against his own words, the president sent bombers into Iran,” Martin said in a statement. “Americans overwhelmingly do not want to go to war. Americans do not want to risk the safety of our troops abroad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Peter Welch, a Vermont Democrat, said the U.S. entering the war in Iran “does not make America more secure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bombing was an act of war that risks retaliation by the Iranian regime,” Welch said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While progressives in the lead-up to the military action had staked out clear opposition to Trump’s potential intervention, the party leadership played the safer ground of insisting on a role for Congress before any use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin’s statement took a similar tact, stating, “Americans do not want a president who bypasses our constitution and pulls us towards war without Congressional approval. Donald Trump needs to bring his case to Congress immediately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine called Trump’s actions, “Horrible judgement” and said he’d “push for all senators to vote on whether they are for this third idiotic Middle East war.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many prominent Democrats with 2028 presidential aspirations had been silent on the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-war-nuclear-gaza-news-06-20-2025-8adbedb3427a76be7dbde4a18a05f75f\">Israel-Iran war\u003c/a>, even before Trump’s announcement — underscoring how politically tricky the issue can be for the party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are sort of hedging their bets,” said Joel Rubin, a former deputy assistant secretary of state who served under Democratic President Barack Obama and is now a strategist on foreign policy. “The beasts of the Democratic Party’s constituencies right now are so hostile to Israel’s war in Gaza that it’s really difficult to come out looking like one would corroborate an unauthorized war that supports Israel without blowback.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Progressive Democrats also are using Trump’s ideas and words\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., had called Trump’s consideration of an attack “a defining moment for our party.” Khanna had introduced legislation with Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., that called on the Republican president to “terminate” the use of U.S. armed forces against Iran unless “explicitly authorized” by a declaration of war from Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Saturday night, Khanna said Congress needs to vote on the bipartisan War Powers Resolution to ensure there is no further conflict and escalation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Stopping Iran from having a nuclear bomb is a top priority, but dragging the U.S. into another Middle East war is not the solution.” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna used Trump’s own campaign arguments of putting American interests first when the congressman spoke to Theo Von, a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/who-is-theo-von-aed4f15f1e24585e0173eba42b995be9\">comedian\u003c/a> who has been supportive of the president and is popular in the so-called “manosphere” of male Trump supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s going to cost this country a lot of money that should be being spent here at home,” said Khanna, who is said to be among the many Democrats eyeing the party’s 2028 primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who twice sought the Democratic presidential nomination, had pointed to Trump’s stated goal during his inaugural speech of being known as “a peacemaker and a unifier.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Supporting Netanyahu’s war against Iran would be a catastrophic mistake,” Sanders said about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders reintroduced legislation prohibiting the use of federal money for force against Iran, insisted that U.S. military intervention would be unwise and illegal and accused Israel of striking unprovoked.

East Bay Rep. Lateefah Simon called the U.S. strikes on Iran “lawless, dangerous and immoral.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we normalize war as a reactionary decision, an easy decision … we lose our moral compass as a nation,” Simon said. “No one is safe under a presidency that chooses bombs over dialogue, chaos over peace.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Jared Huffman, who represents the North Coast, echoed those sentiments, saying that Trump’s actions in Iran are not just dangerous, but “a direct violation of the constitution and Congress’s authority to declare war.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huffman added that there were “diplomatic and strategic alternatives to address the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions” that the administration ignored.\u003cbr>\n“What may seem ‘successful’ in the moment is more likely to lead to awful ramifications for our service members, national security, and our global credibility,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Sam Liccardo stressed the danger of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, and urged the country’s leaders to allow international inspectors to return their work unimpeded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we can’t get to that point then we continue to have a threat from Iran, and that threat will take many forms,” Liccardo said. “They will pick the retaliation [against U.S. troops] at a time and place of their choosing, and American lives will be lost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Disagreement among national Democrats\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After nearly two years of stark divisions over the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war\">war in Gaza\u003c/a> and support for Israel, Democrats seemed to remain at odds over policy toward Iran. Progressives demanded unified opposition before Trump announced U.S. strikes against Tehran’s nuclear program but party leaders were treading more cautiously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. leaders of all stripes have found common ground for two decades on the position that Iran could not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. The longtime U.S. foe has supported groups that have killed Americans across the Mideast and threatened to destroy Israel. \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-war-nuclear-talks-geneva-news-06-21-2025-a7b0cdaba28b5817467ccf712d214579\">But Trump’s announcement Saturday that the U.S. had struck three nuclear sites\u003c/a> could become the Democratic Party’s latest schism, just as it was \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/trump-iran-maga-tucker-carlson-charlie-kirk-409c839e4eadf2a39a1b957213379b08\">sharply dividing\u003c/a> Trump’s isolationist \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/trump-iran-israel-maga-jones-kirk-carlson-greene-bannon-7ffad821874e1a68b63ff1308c5ba4e9\">“Make America Great Again”\u003c/a> base from more hawkish conservatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Committee, noted that in January, Trump suggested the U.S. could “measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today, against his own words, the president sent bombers into Iran,” Martin said in a statement. “Americans overwhelmingly do not want to go to war. Americans do not want to risk the safety of our troops abroad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Peter Welch, a Vermont Democrat, said the U.S. entering the war in Iran “does not make America more secure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bombing was an act of war that risks retaliation by the Iranian regime,” Welch said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While progressives in the lead-up to the military action had staked out clear opposition to Trump’s potential intervention, the party leadership played the safer ground of insisting on a role for Congress before any use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin’s statement took a similar tact, stating, “Americans do not want a president who bypasses our constitution and pulls us towards war without Congressional approval. Donald Trump needs to bring his case to Congress immediately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine called Trump’s actions, “Horrible judgement” and said he’d “push for all senators to vote on whether they are for this third idiotic Middle East war.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many prominent Democrats with 2028 presidential aspirations had been silent on the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-war-nuclear-gaza-news-06-20-2025-8adbedb3427a76be7dbde4a18a05f75f\">Israel-Iran war\u003c/a>, even before Trump’s announcement — underscoring how politically tricky the issue can be for the party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are sort of hedging their bets,” said Joel Rubin, a former deputy assistant secretary of state who served under Democratic President Barack Obama and is now a strategist on foreign policy. “The beasts of the Democratic Party’s constituencies right now are so hostile to Israel’s war in Gaza that it’s really difficult to come out looking like one would corroborate an unauthorized war that supports Israel without blowback.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Progressive Democrats also are using Trump’s ideas and words\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., had called Trump’s consideration of an attack “a defining moment for our party.” Khanna had introduced legislation with Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., that called on the Republican president to “terminate” the use of U.S. armed forces against Iran unless “explicitly authorized” by a declaration of war from Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Saturday night, Khanna said Congress needs to vote on the bipartisan War Powers Resolution to ensure there is no further conflict and escalation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Stopping Iran from having a nuclear bomb is a top priority, but dragging the U.S. into another Middle East war is not the solution.” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna used Trump’s own campaign arguments of putting American interests first when the congressman spoke to Theo Von, a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/who-is-theo-von-aed4f15f1e24585e0173eba42b995be9\">comedian\u003c/a> who has been supportive of the president and is popular in the so-called “manosphere” of male Trump supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s going to cost this country a lot of money that should be being spent here at home,” said Khanna, who is said to be among the many Democrats eyeing the party’s 2028 primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who twice sought the Democratic presidential nomination, had pointed to Trump’s stated goal during his inaugural speech of being known as “a peacemaker and a unifier.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Supporting Netanyahu’s war against Iran would be a catastrophic mistake,” Sanders said about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders reintroduced legislation prohibiting the use of federal money for force against Iran, insisted that U.S. military intervention would be unwise and illegal and accused Israel of striking unprovoked. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York signed on to a similar bill from Sanders in 2020, but so far was holding off this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some believed the party should stake out a clear anti-war stance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The leaders of the Democratic Party need to step up and loudly oppose war with Iran and demand a vote in Congress,” said Tommy Vietor, a former Obama aide, on X.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mainstream Democrats are cautious, while critical\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The staunch support from the Democratic administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for Israel’s war against Hamas \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/harris-trump-mideast-gaza-hezbollah-hamas-623945957dac623c238041242e13340a\">loomed over\u003c/a> the party’s White House ticket in 2024, even with the criticism of Israel’s handling of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

It’s a good idea to get to the “theater” early to secure a good view of the screen. Most screenings don’t require a ticket or reservation, but some of the special showings do ask for an RSVP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12044161 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/inntown-3-2000x1333.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before heading out to any show, be sure to check the weather and see if the screening will continue in the event of rain or other disruptive weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the comfiest experience bring picnic blankets, a sweater and (non-crackling) snacks. A camping chair could offer you the most comfort, but be mindful you’re not blocking anyone’s view of the screen with your set-up. Remember that some venues may also discourage — or outright prohibit — pets or alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are seeking captions for an outdoor movie, you may need to contact the city’s parks and recreation department at least two days in advance. For example, for the Berkeley showings, contact the city at least two days before the screening at jolee@berkeleyca.gov or (510) 926-1458, and for Santa Cruz shows, call (831) 423-5590. According to \u003ca href=\"https://beachboardwalk.com/movies/\">the Santa Cruz Movies on the Beach website\u003c/a>, a “limited number of assistive listening devices (ALDs) are available for
