"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>Following hours of pleas from the public to keep the A's in Oakland, the Oakland City Council on Tuesday approved a non-binding financial plan for a new $12 billion waterfront stadium and village at Howard Terminal near Jack London Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the A's were quick to criticize the amended plan, leaving it unclear how much longer the team is willing to negotiate with the city before packing up and moving elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Dan Kalb, Oakland City Councilmember\"]'If I vote for this today, I’m going to be holding my nose and probably going to the bathroom, throwing up afterwards. I'm not very happy.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The current term sheet as it's constructed and its current language is not a business partnership that works for us,” Oakland Athletics President Dave Kaval said during the virtual meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the A's will take a close look at the city's term sheet, but was disappointed it differed so much from the term sheet the team submitted in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a departure from the A’s proposal, the new plan would require 35% of the project’s housing units be affordable, establish additional environmental protections and tenant anti-displacement safeguards, and include a community benefits fund to support neighborhoods in Chinatown and West Oakland impacted by the development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would also create a single large tax district — rather than the two proposed by the team — to generate additional revenue for infrastructure costs, and require the team to stay in the city for at least 25 years after playing its first game at the new stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To vote on something we have not been privy to and not had time to digest is a difficult thing for us,\" Kaval said. \"It’s hard to understand how that is a path forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even some of the six councilmembers who approved the deal expressed serious misgivings about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I will say this, if I vote for this today, I’m going to be holding my nose and probably going to the bathroom, throwing up afterwards. I'm not very happy,\" said Councilmember Dan Kalb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the plan included too many concessions to the team, including not requiring them to contribute to the estimated $352 million in off-site infrastructure and transportation costs, or help pay for the development of most planned affordable housing units. But approving it, he added, would at least \"move the negotiations forward\" and increase the odds of the team remaining in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I want to be open to that, even though I have reservations about this site and some skepticism about whether it's actually going to happen or not,\" Kalb said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"oakland-as\"]The approved term sheet allows both parties to continue negotiating, with no set deadline, although pressure to make a deal is mounting quickly after years of often tense negotiations between the team and the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A's recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11873231/mlb-tells-oakland-athletics-to-explore-relocation-if-no-new-ballpark\">received permission from Major League Baseball to start looking at other markets\u003c/a> if a deal with Oakland can't be reached, and have already met with officials in Las Vegas. Failing an agreement with the city, they would be the third professional sports team to leave Oakland since 2019 — following the departure of the Warriors and the Raiders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the meeting, Councilmember Carroll Fife, who represents the district where the proposed development would be, voiced her frustration with the A's, following Kaval's initial rejection of the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not exactly sure why we're even here today,\" said Fife, who ultimately abstained from voting. \"If the A's are not happy with what was produced today and are still talking about leaving — after the city has bent over backwards and provided some of their best work in the interest of Oakland residents and come up with all of these concessions, even about how these wealthy owners don't have to pay for off-site infrastructure — I don't know where we go from here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed project includes a privately financed $1 billion 35,000-seat ballpark at Howard Terminal, along with a village surrounding the stadium that the city says will be paid for through regional, state and federal funds. The development would include 3,000 housing units, over 1 million square feet of commercial and retail space, hotel rooms, an indoor performance venue and 18 acres of open space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Standing at the windy waterfront site of the proposed mega-development, Mayor Libby Schaaf on Wednesday morning championed the new plan, calling it a win-win for the city and team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/LibbySchaaf/status/1417928479555735555\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What the City Council approved yesterday is not just one of the most iconic ballparks that the world will ever see, but an entire, beautiful community-serving ballpark district,\" Schaaf said. \"A new neighborhood, with amazing union jobs, public parks, affordable housing and safety improvements.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also promised the plan would create significant tax revenue, ensuring the project's financial viability, unlike past sports deals gone bad; Oakland is still paying off the bonds that financed the remodeling of the Coliseum for the Raiders' return in 1995.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are doing everything within our power to move this process along in a way that is not just great for the A’s and our A’s fans and the community, but also responsible to the taxpayers,\" she said. \"We are never going to do a Raiders deal again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team’s lease at the aging Oakland Coliseum in East Oakland runs through 2024. The league has said rebuilding at the current location is not a viable option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Coliseum employees were among the throngs of residents who called in during the public comment period at Tuesday's meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Those jobs are very important to us. We got a lot of seniors that work here like myself. And we need that job to make ends meet,\" a man named Tony, who works at the current stadium, told councilmembers. \"You're talking about over 600 jobs that are lost. People are getting displaced again. So we are really asking the council to please vote yes on this issue so we can keep our jobs and continue to live in Oakland.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other callers, though, like Emily Wheeler, a member of the Oakland Tenants Union, said the team was all \"about greed,\" and urged the city not to capitulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The A’s are like an abusive boyfriend and you need to stand up to them,\" Wheeler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The issue pitted Native Hawaiians and some white residents who grew up among them against the white Californian and Australian surfers who sought to exclude locals from the world’s best waves on their very own turf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An infamous brawl involved a trash-talking Australian surfer named Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew, who was battered and humbled by the locals. The surfing world’s reverence for Hawaii and Native Hawaiians was cemented. Bartholomew would go on to run the Association of Surfing Professionals, an earlier iteration of the current pro league.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I treaded lightly in light of what they went through because there was an internalization that this is something that was stolen from them,” said Richard Schmidt, who was among the white Californian pro surfers on the scene in that era. “You’re never a complete surfer until you prove yourself in Hawaii.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet critics say the business and branding aspect of the sport and lifestyle largely remained white-centered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When surfing started to become really popular, that triggered money and that triggered business people and things we’d never thought we’d have to deal with as people who surf in Hawaii,” said Walter Ritte, a longtime Native Hawaiian activist. “There’s no doubt that the control is not here in Hawaii.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Hawaii Kingdom National Team?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The effort to take back surfing’s narrative is why sovereignty activists applied for a Hawaii Kingdom national team to compete at the Olympics. Their longshot request hinges on the fact that they say there was no ratified treaty that ever formally dissolved Hawaii’s autonomy. The United States annexed Hawaii in 1898 after the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy by U.S.-backed forces in 1893.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A statement from the International Olympic Committee, which has ignored the request, noted only that applicants must be an “independent state recognized by the international community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11765699]This geopolitical dynamic will be on display when Carissa Moore and John John Florence are in the surf zone to compete for the U.S. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither is eager to discuss their views on the matter but they are two of professional surfing’s biggest stars who have long competed under the Hawaii flag in the pro league, as the World Surf League recognizes Hawaii as a “sovereign surfing nation.” Moore as the reigning female world champion is also the only Olympic surfer who is ethnically Hawaiian. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hurt and the wounds go back really far,” Moore said. “I usually compete under the Hawaii flag all year with the WSL. … For me, that’s not a huge focus right now.

I think it’s impossible to detach Hawaiianness from surfing,” Aguerre said. “The ocean doesn’t really care about hate, war or governments. Surfing is that way, too.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Didi Robello, a descendant of Kahanamoku, said none of his family members have been contacted to participate in any Olympic celebrations. He said his grand-uncle’s name and legacy are exploited, which has become a great source of pain for the family because the trademark rights to the Kahanamoku name are owned by outsiders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re getting ripped off,” Robello said. “It’s embarrassing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The issue pitted Native Hawaiians and some white residents who grew up among them against the white Californian and Australian surfers who sought to exclude locals from the world’s best waves on their very own turf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An infamous brawl involved a trash-talking Australian surfer named Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew, who was battered and humbled by the locals. The surfing world’s reverence for Hawaii and Native Hawaiians was cemented. Bartholomew would go on to run the Association of Surfing Professionals, an earlier iteration of the current pro league.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I treaded lightly in light of what they went through because there was an internalization that this is something that was stolen from them,” said Richard Schmidt, who was among the white Californian pro surfers on the scene in that era. “You’re never a complete surfer until you prove yourself in Hawaii.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet critics say the business and branding aspect of the sport and lifestyle largely remained white-centered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When surfing started to become really popular, that triggered money and that triggered business people and things we’d never thought we’d have to deal with as people who surf in Hawaii,” said Walter Ritte, a longtime Native Hawaiian activist. “There’s no doubt that the control is not here in Hawaii.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Hawaii Kingdom National Team?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The effort to take back surfing’s narrative is why sovereignty activists applied for a Hawaii Kingdom national team to compete at the Olympics. Their longshot request hinges on the fact that they say there was no ratified treaty that ever formally dissolved Hawaii’s autonomy. The United States annexed Hawaii in 1898 after the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy by U.S.-backed forces in 1893.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A statement from the International Olympic Committee, which has ignored the request, noted only that applicants must be an “independent state recognized by the international community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some also cite fear of racist violence. \u003ca href=\"https://compass.ucsf.edu\">COMPASS\u003c/a>, one of the largest-known national surveys of Asian American and Pacific Islanders, conducted a poll between last October and January 2021 that showed \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hE8qf9rx5NSXy3NZBAxuN161xBx3AqcB/view?usp=sharing\">two-thirds\u003c/a> of those polled believed the U.S. was more dangerous for them.

Kim immigrated to the U.S. 15 years ago from Uzbekistan. As a member of a small ethnic Korean minority in Uzbekistan, she faced discrimination growing up.

She lived in Los Angeles' Koreatown when she first got to the U.S. and earned an MBA there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim feels grateful to be in the U.S. She has considerate friends and neighbors and has never been the target of racism. She said guns used to make her anxious, but news reports about violence against Asians and lawlessness in general worried her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve always tried to get rid of my fears,” Kim said. “I just wanted to have my anxiety about guns to go away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her sister-in-law convinced her to get a gun for family protection. Kim felt stigma around being a gun owner and was reluctant to tell her Asian friends, worried that it might change their opinion of her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think that people, if we let them know that we have a gun, they’d be like, ‘Something’s wrong with you, you’re violent,’ ” Kim said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But once she came clean, their reactions surprised her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m the last one to get one,” said Kim with an ironic laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim felt disturbed after a mass shooter killed eight people, six of them women of Asian descent, in Atlanta this past March. It bothered her that, when an Asian woman victim called 911, the dispatcher had a hard time understanding her accent. For Kim, any wait for the police during a mass shooting is too long. [aside tag=\"asian, anti-asian, guns\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If any of them would have had a gun, it wouldn’t have been so bad,” she said. “They could have tried to protect themselves versus just being, hopeless, accepting the fact that they’d be killed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, a transit worker in San Jose shot and killed nine of his co-workers and himself in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/local/article/San-Jose-mass-shooting-is-now-the-deadliest-in-16207866.php\">deadliest mass shooting in Bay Area history\u003c/a>.

But they thought some of the media coverage raising the issue of gun control missed a key point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It becomes more about the firearm and less about the perpetrator,” Tayag said.

Some also cite fear of racist violence. \u003ca href=\"https://compass.ucsf.edu\">COMPASS\u003c/a>, one of the largest-known national surveys of Asian American and Pacific Islanders, conducted a poll between last October and January 2021 that showed \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hE8qf9rx5NSXy3NZBAxuN161xBx3AqcB/view?usp=sharing\">two-thirds\u003c/a> of those polled believed the U.S. was more dangerous for them.

Kim immigrated to the U.S. 15 years ago from Uzbekistan. As a member of a small ethnic Korean minority in Uzbekistan, she faced discrimination growing up. Kim views the U.S. as mostly a fair country without racism. She lived in Los Angeles' Koreatown when she first got to the U.S. and earned an MBA there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim feels grateful to be in the U.S. She has considerate friends and neighbors and has never been the target of racism. She said guns used to make her anxious, but news reports about violence against Asians and lawlessness in general worried her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve always tried to get rid of my fears,” Kim said. “I just wanted to have my anxiety about guns to go away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her sister-in-law convinced her to get a gun for family protection. Kim felt stigma around being a gun owner and was reluctant to tell her Asian friends, worried that it might change their opinion of her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think that people, if we let them know that we have a gun, they’d be like, ‘Something’s wrong with you, you’re violent,’ ” Kim said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But once she came clean, their reactions surprised her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m the last one to get one,” said Kim with an ironic laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim felt disturbed after a mass shooter killed eight people, six of them women of Asian descent, in Atlanta this past March. It bothered her that, when an Asian woman victim called 911, the dispatcher had a hard time understanding her accent. For Kim, any wait for the police during a mass shooting is too long. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The state works with local officials to implement the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many local sheriff's offices have been reticent when it comes to hard-line enforcement.
