Twenty-four of the best big wave surfers in the world are flying in right now, with just three days notice, to tackle the massive, powerful waves. Not one of those surfers is a woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 15-year history of the event, there has never been a female competitor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a handful of women do surf regularly and successfully at the famed spot. In 1999, Sarah Gerhardt was the first -- as far as anyone knows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I showed up and they said, ‘You’re the first woman!’ ” said Gerhardt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, women have paddled out more frequently. If you could tell them apart from the men, all in their full-length black wetsuits, you might have been able to spot Bianca Valenti or Savannah Shaughnessy during a swell in early December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But no woman has ever been considered good enough to make the final list of 24 surfers invited to compete at Mavericks in the unique annual event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaughnessy did make it through the second round of the most recent selection process and Gerhardt was an alternate in the 2000 competition -- back when what is now called “Titans of Mavericks” was known as “Men Who Ride Mountains.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'If a woman is hitting the criteria, then they’re going to surf their way into the contest.'\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Darryl 'Flea' Virostko, Committee 5\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“If a woman is hitting the criteria, then they’re going to surf their way into the contest,” said Darryl “Flea” Virostko, who won the contest three times and now serves on Committee 5, the group that selects the surfers invited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So far, a woman hasn’t come to the table doing the stuff that men who aren’t even getting invited are doing,” said Shawn Rhodes, another Committee 5 member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could change next year. In November, \u003ca href=\"http://www.coastal.ca.gov/meetings/mtg-mm15-11.html\" target=\"_blank\">the Coastal Commission\u003c/a> voted 7-4 to require contest organizers to create a plan to include women in future events. In much the same way that the commission can add conditions to its approval of any permit, Commissioner Mark Vargas put forward a motion making inclusion of female surfers a condition of future permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t walk into the meeting thinking I was going to be some kind of feminist champion,” said Vargas, the commissioner for Los Angeles. “I just wanted to follow up and find out if there is a plan. The answers I got from them didn’t inspire confidence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those answers, he felt, lacked details about how surfers are selected in what is a somewhat subjective process, despite \u003ca href=\"http://titansofmavericks.com/criteria/\" target=\"_blank\">a listing of criteria on the event’s website\u003c/a>. He said he also felt there was an attitude that seemed to suggest he shouldn’t be asking any questions in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were comments made at that meeting, and comments have been made in the past, about how women aren’t strong enough, aren’t ready for the biggest waves or that they could die out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two male surfers have died at Mavericks and a woman's attempt to ride the biggest wave ever for a female surfer last year, off the coast of Portugal, resulted in a horrific crash that prompted huge debates within the sport over just how ready women are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that’s total b.s.,” said Paige Alms, a big-wave surfer in Maui, who became the first woman to get barreled at Jaws -- meaning she rode through the barrel of the massive famous Hawaiian wave. She thinks there are already women good enough to be competing at Mavericks, and that if they were really being considered then they'd be included.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10815193\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 680px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10815193\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10815193\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms.png\" alt=\"Maui big-wave surfer Paige Alms says women are already good enough to surf in Mavericks.\" width=\"680\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms.png 680w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms-400x222.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maui big-wave surfer Paige Alms says women are already good enough to surf in Mavericks. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/519614730/super-sessions-ii-women-surfing-huge-waves/description\" target=\"_blank\">Super Sessions\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Give us a heat and let us show you,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what an inclusion plan will ultimately look like is still very much up for discussion. Event organizers argue that they already include women in their consideration of who should be invited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have never uninvited women,” said Rhodes. However, some of the female surfers, like Alms, would like to see a separate women’s heat, where they aren’t competing directly against men. Coastal Commission staff have said they’ll be reviewing the issue and meeting with stakeholders before next year’s permit application extension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission decided this year to bring the Mavericks contest under its purview. The event previously was permitted only by a number of smaller coastal and harbor agencies, but it has grown over its 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mavericks got to the point where they were on the radar,” said Vargas, so the commission opted to require an application this year and to review the event’s impacts on the surrounding coastal community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>November’s commission meeting was held near Pillar Point. Sabrina Brennan, who serves on the San Mateo Harbor Commission, which also permits the event, decided the night before the meeting to make a short presentation about female big-wave surfers to the commission during the public comment period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She put together just five PowerPoint slides, and drove the 10 minutes from her house to the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the meeting had been in Southern California, then I wouldn’t have been able to afford it,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though not a surfer herself, Brennan said that she was motivated by her experiences being one of the few women at snowboarding races in her 20s. Plus, her wife surfs and they live on the bluff above the beach where the event is headquartered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they moved there, and the event was still called “Men Who Ride Mountains,” she said, “I thought, 'Wow, I wonder if there are any women who want to ride mountains, too.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10815195\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 680px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/maves.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10815195\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10815195\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/maves.jpg\" alt=\"Andrea Moller, Keala Kennelly, Bianca Valenti and Paige Alms prepare to surf at Mavericks.\" width=\"680\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/maves.jpg 680w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/maves-400x262.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andrea Moller, Keala Kennelly, Bianca Valenti and Paige Alms prepare to surf at Mavericks. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/519614730/super-sessions-ii-women-surfing-huge-waves/description\" target=\"_blank\">Super Sessions\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As a harbor commissioner, she abstained from voting on the event’s permit this year, as there is a long and messy history between her and the event organizers. There are some who feel that her bringing this issue to the Coastal Commission’s attention was just part of that he-said/she-said mess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the issue was raised, though, it couldn’t be taken back. Vargas started asking questions of \u003ca href=\"http://www.cartel-management.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Cartel Management\u003c/a>, which took over the Mavericks competition in mid-2014 and renamed it \u003ca href=\"http://titansofmavericks.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Titans of Mavericks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event is held annually in a window between Nov. 1 and March 31, but it isn’t scheduled until a few days beforehand in order to take advantage of the weather and big waves. At that point, all 24 surfers are called and have to fly in, media are notified and the logistics crew goes into overdrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the dry weather last year, there was no competition. This year will be the first held under L.A.-based Cartel’s new management -- which says it’s trying to grow the event and do more to support the surfing community, like establish a fallen surfers fund for the families of injured or killed competitors. All these other questions, they say, are just getting in the way of putting on a good event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to just get this off the ground,” said Virostko. “The Coastal Commission has no right to tell us what we should do with our contest. It’s totally wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is precedent for the Coastal Commission making these kinds of decisions. In 1985, the commission required that the exclusive beachfront Jonathan Club in Santa Monica stop discriminating in its membership policies as a condition of its expansion permit on public lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the commission was split this time over whether it had the authority to get involved in the selection process for a sporting event, with one commissioner saying it’d be like requiring certain teams to make the World Series finals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process for making that final list of selected surfers is both relatively simple and a bit secretive. After it took over the event, Cartel Management appointed five well-known local surfers, Committee 5, to put together a list of possible big-wave surfers to be considered and then narrow it down to 24.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of different things besides being a good surfer,” said Rhodes, like dedication to tackling Mavericks year-round. There is also an unwritten rule about not criticizing the event organizers for their handling of situations that have sparked public debate, like media access or the negotiating of existing contracts or the inclusion of a women's heat.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch2>Sarah Gerhardt becomes First Woman to Surf Mavericks\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG25z4U0GX4\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Rhodes calls it “drawing a line in the sand” to stop people from undercutting the event. Former winner Peter Mel found himself banned for exactly those reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If every surfer is held to the same standard, then it is probably accurate to say that there are not many women surfing at the very same level as the top men. “They’d be the first to admit that,” said Rhodes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that women do get an equal shot at making it to the 24,” said Shaughnessy, a Santa Cruz surfer who has loved the event since she was 13 years old and who has been surfing there for the last six years. “None of the women surf at the same level as the top men. However, we progress every year. There was a huge change in women's paddle-in surfing starting in 2010, and the progression has been gaining momentum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaughnessy made the Committee 5’s short list, and was invited to judge the event the last time it was held. Gerhardt, also a local, was invited to serve on the committee, but had to decline because of other commitments. The organizers point to these as examples that they’re open to including women. They just want the women to get better before they're added to the contest lineup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to open a door where all of a sudden we’re the fire department and we’re lowering the standards for women,” said Rhodes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question of why women may not be good enough yet, though, does not have a simple answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While surfing has historically been a bit of a boys club, in recent years female surfers on the world tour have become popular in their own right. \u003ca href=\"http://www.worldsurfleague.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The World Surf League\u003c/a>, formerly the Association of Surfing Professionals, has made equality in pay and event access a priority, said WSL vice president Dave Prodan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But big-wave surfing -- the kind of surfing seen on massive, death-defying waves like at Mavericks -- is still predominantly the domain of men. It's an issue that's been discussed at length within the sport, like in \u003ca href=\"http://www.surfermag.com/features/women-big-wave-surfing/#dkJBFLhPU1uz05L1.97\" target=\"_blank\">an article in Surfer Magazine called \"Boys' Club.\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part, it may be a chicken-egg problem. Are there so few female big-wave surfers because there’s so little opportunity for them or is there so little opportunity because there’s no one to take advantage of it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there is a WSL Big Wave Tour for male surfers, there is no tour for women. A big-wave event at Nelscott Reef in Oregon attracted just three female surfers in 2010, which discouraged the organizers from continuing the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerhardt said that the problem was that the location was so remote and there was so little prize money it would have cost the women more than they could have gained by competing and winning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the top female big-wave surfers are able to make a living at surfing. All have other jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignleft\">\n\u003ch2>Bianca Valenti riding Mavericks\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/CHFjKrwnwz0\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In 2014, eight women showed up at the next event held at Nelscott Reef, just to make a point and to support the women’s side of sport, said Alms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Franciscan Bianca Valenti won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valenti doesn’t make a living surfing. She partially owns a restaurant in San Anselmo with her dad, where she serves as the soigneur and runs the bar. In the mornings, she heads to Ocean Beach to get in as many hours of surfing and training as she can. That’s typical of the life of most female big-wave surfers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big-wave surfing, even more than regular surfing, struggles to attract sponsors. Events, far from the coast and difficult to follow, don’t have as much media attention or as many fans. Trying to extend that small amount of money and time to women spreads it even thinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, as Alms and Valenti are quick to point out, it’s men who are in charge of the events, the organizations and the surf companies. So it's men who get to decide where that attention and those dollars go. It doesn't help that when female surfers are featured in photos or ads, there tends to be a focus on bikinis and butt shots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ones who make the most money are basically models for these companies,” said Alms. Big-wave surfers, conversely, tend to be dressed in full wetsuits. They get bloody and beaten up, when they’re not freezing. Basically, there’s a reason Dayla Soul named her documentary about female big-wave surfers \"It Ain’t Pretty\" -- because it really isn't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The women, though, believe that if they just had a platform, then they could win people over with their surfing. That’s why last year a group of them -- Alms, Valenti, Shaughnessy, Gerhardt and another four surfers -- participated in a multimedia project called \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2vblGO9g2E\" target=\"_blank\">Super Sessions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They filmed their own surf sessions over a series of months at different famous surf spots, submitted videos online for viewers to vote on, and even met together at Mavericks to surf it in a sort of informal festival. It’s not an official competition yet, but it’s what they’ve got for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we want something to happen, we have to do it on our own,” said Valenti. However, they fell \u003ca href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/519614730/super-sessions-ii-women-surfing-huge-waves/description\" target=\"_blank\">short of their Kickstarter goal\u003c/a> to fund a second year of Super Sessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's just not that easy to build up the entire future of a sport. The logistics of getting the Mavericks event off the ground each year are also fairly challenging, given the location and small time window. Along with the weather, organizers have to contend with a number of blackout dates from the permitting agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the selected day, there’s a limited amount of time to have all the men surf. Getting a heat of women in as well would be difficult, said Rhodes and Virostko -- but they hope they might be able to fit it in at some point in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Eventually, maybe we could figure something out to have a heat in between the semis and the finals,” said Virostko.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She thinks there are already women good enough to be competing at Mavericks, and that if they were really being considered then they'd be included.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10815193\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 680px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10815193\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10815193\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms.png\" alt=\"Maui big-wave surfer Paige Alms says women are already good enough to surf in Mavericks.\" width=\"680\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms.png 680w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/alms-400x222.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maui big-wave surfer Paige Alms says women are already good enough to surf in Mavericks. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/519614730/super-sessions-ii-women-surfing-huge-waves/description\" target=\"_blank\">Super Sessions\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Give us a heat and let us show you,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what an inclusion plan will ultimately look like is still very much up for discussion. Event organizers argue that they already include women in their consideration of who should be invited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have never uninvited women,” said Rhodes. However, some of the female surfers, like Alms, would like to see a separate women’s heat, where they aren’t competing directly against men. Coastal Commission staff have said they’ll be reviewing the issue and meeting with stakeholders before next year’s permit application extension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission decided this year to bring the Mavericks contest under its purview. The event previously was permitted only by a number of smaller coastal and harbor agencies, but it has grown over its 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mavericks got to the point where they were on the radar,” said Vargas, so the commission opted to require an application this year and to review the event’s impacts on the surrounding coastal community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>November’s commission meeting was held near Pillar Point. Sabrina Brennan, who serves on the San Mateo Harbor Commission, which also permits the event, decided the night before the meeting to make a short presentation about female big-wave surfers to the commission during the public comment period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She put together just five PowerPoint slides, and drove the 10 minutes from her house to the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the meeting had been in Southern California, then I wouldn’t have been able to afford it,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though not a surfer herself, Brennan said that she was motivated by her experiences being one of the few women at snowboarding races in her 20s. Plus, her wife surfs and they live on the bluff above the beach where the event is headquartered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they moved there, and the event was still called “Men Who Ride Mountains,” she said, “I thought, 'Wow, I wonder if there are any women who want to ride mountains, too.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10815195\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 680px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/maves.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10815195\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10815195\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/maves.jpg\" alt=\"Andrea Moller, Keala Kennelly, Bianca Valenti and Paige Alms prepare to surf at Mavericks.\" width=\"680\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/maves.jpg 680w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/maves-400x262.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andrea Moller, Keala Kennelly, Bianca Valenti and Paige Alms prepare to surf at Mavericks. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/519614730/super-sessions-ii-women-surfing-huge-waves/description\" target=\"_blank\">Super Sessions\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As a harbor commissioner, she abstained from voting on the event’s permit this year, as there is a long and messy history between her and the event organizers. There are some who feel that her bringing this issue to the Coastal Commission’s attention was just part of that he-said/she-said mess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the issue was raised, though, it couldn’t be taken back. Vargas started asking questions of \u003ca href=\"http://www.cartel-management.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Cartel Management\u003c/a>, which took over the Mavericks competition in mid-2014 and renamed it \u003ca href=\"http://titansofmavericks.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Titans of Mavericks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event is held annually in a window between Nov. 1 and March 31, but it isn’t scheduled until a few days beforehand in order to take advantage of the weather and big waves. At that point, all 24 surfers are called and have to fly in, media are notified and the logistics crew goes into overdrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the dry weather last year, there was no competition. This year will be the first held under L.A.-based Cartel’s new management -- which says it’s trying to grow the event and do more to support the surfing community, like establish a fallen surfers fund for the families of injured or killed competitors. All these other questions, they say, are just getting in the way of putting on a good event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to just get this off the ground,” said Virostko. “The Coastal Commission has no right to tell us what we should do with our contest. It’s totally wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is precedent for the Coastal Commission making these kinds of decisions. In 1985, the commission required that the exclusive beachfront Jonathan Club in Santa Monica stop discriminating in its membership policies as a condition of its expansion permit on public lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the commission was split this time over whether it had the authority to get involved in the selection process for a sporting event, with one commissioner saying it’d be like requiring certain teams to make the World Series finals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process for making that final list of selected surfers is both relatively simple and a bit secretive. After it took over the event, Cartel Management appointed five well-known local surfers, Committee 5, to put together a list of possible big-wave surfers to be considered and then narrow it down to 24.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of different things besides being a good surfer,” said Rhodes, like dedication to tackling Mavericks year-round. There is also an unwritten rule about not criticizing the event organizers for their handling of situations that have sparked public debate, like media access or the negotiating of existing contracts or the inclusion of a women's heat.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch2>Sarah Gerhardt becomes First Woman to Surf Mavericks\u003c/h2>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/MG25z4U0GX4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/MG25z4U0GX4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Rhodes calls it “drawing a line in the sand” to stop people from undercutting the event. Former winner Peter Mel found himself banned for exactly those reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If every surfer is held to the same standard, then it is probably accurate to say that there are not many women surfing at the very same level as the top men. “They’d be the first to admit that,” said Rhodes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that women do get an equal shot at making it to the 24,” said Shaughnessy, a Santa Cruz surfer who has loved the event since she was 13 years old and who has been surfing there for the last six years. “None of the women surf at the same level as the top men. However, we progress every year. There was a huge change in women's paddle-in surfing starting in 2010, and the progression has been gaining momentum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaughnessy made the Committee 5’s short list, and was invited to judge the event the last time it was held. Gerhardt, also a local, was invited to serve on the committee, but had to decline because of other commitments. The organizers point to these as examples that they’re open to including women. They just want the women to get better before they're added to the contest lineup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to open a door where all of a sudden we’re the fire department and we’re lowering the standards for women,” said Rhodes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question of why women may not be good enough yet, though, does not have a simple answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While surfing has historically been a bit of a boys club, in recent years female surfers on the world tour have become popular in their own right. \u003ca href=\"http://www.worldsurfleague.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The World Surf League\u003c/a>, formerly the Association of Surfing Professionals, has made equality in pay and event access a priority, said WSL vice president Dave Prodan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But big-wave surfing -- the kind of surfing seen on massive, death-defying waves like at Mavericks -- is still predominantly the domain of men. It's an issue that's been discussed at length within the sport, like in \u003ca href=\"http://www.surfermag.com/features/women-big-wave-surfing/#dkJBFLhPU1uz05L1.97\" target=\"_blank\">an article in Surfer Magazine called \"Boys' Club.\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part, it may be a chicken-egg problem. Are there so few female big-wave surfers because there’s so little opportunity for them or is there so little opportunity because there’s no one to take advantage of it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there is a WSL Big Wave Tour for male surfers, there is no tour for women. A big-wave event at Nelscott Reef in Oregon attracted just three female surfers in 2010, which discouraged the organizers from continuing the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerhardt said that the problem was that the location was so remote and there was so little prize money it would have cost the women more than they could have gained by competing and winning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the top female big-wave surfers are able to make a living at surfing. All have other jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignleft\">\n\u003ch2>Bianca Valenti riding Mavericks\u003c/h2>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/CHFjKrwnwz0'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/CHFjKrwnwz0'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In 2014, eight women showed up at the next event held at Nelscott Reef, just to make a point and to support the women’s side of sport, said Alms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Franciscan Bianca Valenti won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valenti doesn’t make a living surfing. She partially owns a restaurant in San Anselmo with her dad, where she serves as the soigneur and runs the bar. In the mornings, she heads to Ocean Beach to get in as many hours of surfing and training as she can. That’s typical of the life of most female big-wave surfers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big-wave surfing, even more than regular surfing, struggles to attract sponsors. Events, far from the coast and difficult to follow, don’t have as much media attention or as many fans. Trying to extend that small amount of money and time to women spreads it even thinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, as Alms and Valenti are quick to point out, it’s men who are in charge of the events, the organizations and the surf companies. So it's men who get to decide where that attention and those dollars go. It doesn't help that when female surfers are featured in photos or ads, there tends to be a focus on bikinis and butt shots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ones who make the most money are basically models for these companies,” said Alms. Big-wave surfers, conversely, tend to be dressed in full wetsuits. They get bloody and beaten up, when they’re not freezing. Basically, there’s a reason Dayla Soul named her documentary about female big-wave surfers \"It Ain’t Pretty\" -- because it really isn't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The women, though, believe that if they just had a platform, then they could win people over with their surfing. That’s why last year a group of them -- Alms, Valenti, Shaughnessy, Gerhardt and another four surfers -- participated in a multimedia project called \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2vblGO9g2E\" target=\"_blank\">Super Sessions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They filmed their own surf sessions over a series of months at different famous surf spots, submitted videos online for viewers to vote on, and even met together at Mavericks to surf it in a sort of informal festival. It’s not an official competition yet, but it’s what they’ve got for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we want something to happen, we have to do it on our own,” said Valenti. However, they fell \u003ca href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/519614730/super-sessions-ii-women-surfing-huge-waves/description\" target=\"_blank\">short of their Kickstarter goal\u003c/a> to fund a second year of Super Sessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's just not that easy to build up the entire future of a sport. The logistics of getting the Mavericks event off the ground each year are also fairly challenging, given the location and small time window. Along with the weather, organizers have to contend with a number of blackout dates from the permitting agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the selected day, there’s a limited amount of time to have all the men surf. Getting a heat of women in as well would be difficult, said Rhodes and Virostko -- but they hope they might be able to fit it in at some point in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titleholder Chuck Liddell, sporting his trademark mohawk, hung out on the balcony near a table offering sliders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few years ago, the scene would have been nearly impossible. In 2012, the former boy wonder -- the model for Tom Cruise’s character in \u003ca href=\"http://nypost.com/2014/01/11/leigh-steinberg-the-real-life-jerry-maguire/\">“Jerry Maguire”\u003c/a> --- filed for bankruptcy. After a 10-year battle with \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/espn/commentary/story/_/page/munson-120202/former-super-agent-leigh-steinberg-battle-back-bankruptcy-alcoholism\">alcoholism\u003c/a> and a messy divorce, his life was in a shambles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone loves a comeback, but to Steinberg the event on Saturday was also a return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, I’ve lived here half my life, so it’s a homecoming,” said Steinberg, a UC Berkeley and Boalt Hall grad. “It’s a unique opportunity to put together family friends. And I love the Bay Area -- it’s got a special magic to it and I think it’s hosting the Super Bowl beautifully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make the circle complete, the agent who has specialized in quarterbacks over his 40-year career has got a new client -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/paxton-lynch?id=2555316\">Paxton Lynch\u003c/a>, the University of Memphis signal caller who's now a top prospect in the NFL draft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Paxton Lynch is 6-feet-7,” Steinberg said. “His hands are almost a foot long. He’s got an incredible ability to escape the pocket. So he’s in the new vogue of robo-quarterbacks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event was a chance for celebrities to schmooze and mingle, but for Steinberg it was also about highlighting causes he cares about, chief among them athletic concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a crisis of conscience back in the 1980s,” he said. “Because I’m representing half the starting quarterbacks in the NFL, and they keep getting hit in the head. And we were going to doctors and asking them, ‘How many are too many?’ and they had no answers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he started holding conferences to find out the answer to that question. In 1994, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sports/league-of-denial/the-frontline-interview-leigh-steinberg/\">white paper\u003c/a> was issued that recommended the NFL change its rules to disallow tackling with the head and neck and called for more research into preventing concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Steinberg said the NFL was slow to respond. In 2007 he held another conference to highlight the science showing that three or more concussions result in \"an exponentially higher rate of Alzheimer's, ALS, premature senility, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and depression.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg said the NFL needs to do more to prevent the “ticking time bomb” of concussions. Better helmets and keeping kids from playing too young are key, he said, but the real leap needs to come from recognizing the trauma caused by \u003ca href=\"http://www.traumaticbraininjury.net/sub-concussive-hits-are-causing-serious-brain-damage/\">sub-concussive\u003c/a> hits -- repeated blows to the head that don't cause concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Steinberg, causes are now the point. He can’t compete with his former self. So, he said he’s looking to just work with a few clients and help them become role models.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while that’s commendable, players might be coming to him to get a deal like the one he \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24138206/flashback-steve-youngs-43year-40million-usfl-contract\">struck\u003c/a> for Steve Young back in 1984.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, the owner of the U.S. Football League's Los Angeles Express, Bill Oldenburg, was trying to sign players who could help make the fledgling league a viable competitor to the NFL. Young was a player who fit the bill, being highly sought by teams in both leagues after starring at Brigham Young University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg says the deal wasn’t going through quickly enough for Oldenburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He [Oldenburg] got so angry he went up to Steve and said, ‘I don’t know if you’re man enough for this team.’ And he had us escorted unceremoniously out of the building, and we sat on California Street at 3:30 in the morning. That was a deal that did not seem likely to come back together,” Steinberg said, smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal that eventually came together was the largest contract in football history up to that time: \u003ca href=\"http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1825502-steve-young-will-make-1-million-in-2014-from-usfl-deal-signed-in-1984\">$40 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now time will tell what Steinberg’s second act will bring. But as the party swirled to a close, he gave his parting thought: “I think all of us in our lives can envision a world that we would like to have, and then realize it’s better to light candles than curse the darkness.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few years ago, the scene would have been nearly impossible. In 2012, the former boy wonder -- the model for Tom Cruise’s character in \u003ca href=\"http://nypost.com/2014/01/11/leigh-steinberg-the-real-life-jerry-maguire/\">“Jerry Maguire”\u003c/a> --- filed for bankruptcy. After a 10-year battle with \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/espn/commentary/story/_/page/munson-120202/former-super-agent-leigh-steinberg-battle-back-bankruptcy-alcoholism\">alcoholism\u003c/a> and a messy divorce, his life was in a shambles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone loves a comeback, but to Steinberg the event on Saturday was also a return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, I’ve lived here half my life, so it’s a homecoming,” said Steinberg, a UC Berkeley and Boalt Hall grad. “It’s a unique opportunity to put together family friends. And I love the Bay Area -- it’s got a special magic to it and I think it’s hosting the Super Bowl beautifully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make the circle complete, the agent who has specialized in quarterbacks over his 40-year career has got a new client -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/paxton-lynch?id=2555316\">Paxton Lynch\u003c/a>, the University of Memphis signal caller who's now a top prospect in the NFL draft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Paxton Lynch is 6-feet-7,” Steinberg said. “His hands are almost a foot long. He’s got an incredible ability to escape the pocket. So he’s in the new vogue of robo-quarterbacks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event was a chance for celebrities to schmooze and mingle, but for Steinberg it was also about highlighting causes he cares about, chief among them athletic concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a crisis of conscience back in the 1980s,” he said. “Because I’m representing half the starting quarterbacks in the NFL, and they keep getting hit in the head. And we were going to doctors and asking them, ‘How many are too many?’ and they had no answers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he started holding conferences to find out the answer to that question. In 1994, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sports/league-of-denial/the-frontline-interview-leigh-steinberg/\">white paper\u003c/a> was issued that recommended the NFL change its rules to disallow tackling with the head and neck and called for more research into preventing concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Steinberg said the NFL was slow to respond. In 2007 he held another conference to highlight the science showing that three or more concussions result in \"an exponentially higher rate of Alzheimer's, ALS, premature senility, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and depression.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg said the NFL needs to do more to prevent the “ticking time bomb” of concussions. Better helmets and keeping kids from playing too young are key, he said, but the real leap needs to come from recognizing the trauma caused by \u003ca href=\"http://www.traumaticbraininjury.net/sub-concussive-hits-are-causing-serious-brain-damage/\">sub-concussive\u003c/a> hits -- repeated blows to the head that don't cause concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Steinberg, causes are now the point. He can’t compete with his former self. So, he said he’s looking to just work with a few clients and help them become role models.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while that’s commendable, players might be coming to him to get a deal like the one he \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24138206/flashback-steve-youngs-43year-40million-usfl-contract\">struck\u003c/a> for Steve Young back in 1984.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, the owner of the U.S. Football League's Los Angeles Express, Bill Oldenburg, was trying to sign players who could help make the fledgling league a viable competitor to the NFL. Young was a player who fit the bill, being highly sought by teams in both leagues after starring at Brigham Young University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg says the deal wasn’t going through quickly enough for Oldenburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He [Oldenburg] got so angry he went up to Steve and said, ‘I don’t know if you’re man enough for this team.’ And he had us escorted unceremoniously out of the building, and we sat on California Street at 3:30 in the morning. That was a deal that did not seem likely to come back together,” Steinberg said, smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal that eventually came together was the largest contract in football history up to that time: \u003ca href=\"http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1825502-steve-young-will-make-1-million-in-2014-from-usfl-deal-signed-in-1984\">$40 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now time will tell what Steinberg’s second act will bring. But as the party swirled to a close, he gave his parting thought: “I think all of us in our lives can envision a world that we would like to have, and then realize it’s better to light candles than curse the darkness.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Not that they shouldn't. But you have to create interstitial steps between this kind of project and our most venerable classical properties.

Later this month, they’ll show \"Vertigo,\" and after that, \"E.T.\" Lonsdorf says the series has attracted a younger, more diverse audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You create this ability for people to feel more comfortable with things, and we hope that it will start to bleed over into our standard offerings,” he says. “It’s a real leap to imagine that someone coming for the first time to the symphony’s 'Concert of Champions' is suddenly going to sign up for our next Mahler cycle. Not that they shouldn't. But you have to create interstitial steps between this kind of project and our most venerable classical properties. And so that's something we're constantly working on and refining.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Luke McMahan and Greg Kalman, football night was a success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I loved how the music correlated completely with the plays. When the guy was ramming through people and running for the touchdown,” Luke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got more of a respect for the sport,” Greg added. “These players really do work hard.

The NFL and NCAA have now implemented rules to try to protect athletes. Some of them include forcing players out of games if a concussion or head injury is suspected, mandating that players go through a concussion protocol before returning to a game and penalizing players who use their helmets to make tackles or hit another player in the helmet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Stabler, he never regretted playing the game he loved, according to Bush.

He is the city’s quarterback. Go to a Raiders game at the Coliseum and you will see as many Stabler jerseys as just about any other former or current player. The love Oakland has for “The Snake” can be echoed by a selection committee this Saturday in San Francisco. For the fourth time, Stabler is a finalist for football immortality: enshrinement into the \u003ca href=\"http://www.profootballhof.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pro Football Hall of Fame\u003c/a> in Canton, Ohio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the recent announcement of Stabler’s brain disease just days before the Super Bowl returns to the Bay Area, coupled with his possible selection into the Hall of Fame, Bush says she is feeling the weight of the increased attention — less than a year after her partner passed away. Her solace, she says, is remembering her life spent with a legend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether he goes in or out, he’s my hero,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It's a tale of two cities. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Super Bowl City, recently erected on San Francisco's waterfront, was built to entertain visitors from around the world as they flock to the Bay Area for football's biggest event.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another, much less glamorous community, is made of tents, tarps and even welcome mats and an American flag: the tent cities and homeless encampments lining many San Francisco thoroughfares. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the runup to the Super Bowl, there's been speculation that these homeless encampments would be forcibly cleared out. The question no one seems able to answer, however, is where would all the homeless people go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We followed along on a recent morning as a cleanup crew from San Francisco Public Works went to various homeless encampments to sweep up garbage and scrub sidewalks.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Darryl McMath is an environmental service worker with Public Works. Dressed in a light-blue Tyvek suit and wearing heavy protective gloves, he approached a homeless man camped on Shotwell Street.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My friend, are there any other things you would like to get rid of?” McMath asked gently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">McMath threw out a few cardboard boxes, but didn’t disturb the man’s tent or the belongings piled around it — including about two dozen bicycle wheels, a wooden pallet and clothing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every day, an average of a ton of trash, human waste and hypodermic needles is hauled off by McMath and other crews across the city. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Public Works spokeswoman Rachel Gordon said the crews don’t take personal property or force anyone to move. Instead, they clean around the tents, she said, and try to keep the sidewalks as clean and sanitary as possible.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But at a different encampment, under Highway 101 at San Bruno Avenue, David Tompkins said things are different when the media aren’t around. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They don’t ask you to move, they tell you to move,” Tompkins said, indicating the Public Works crew. “I woke up to these guys throwing my things in the garbage.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every homeless person seems to have a different story. Rebecca Padilla lives in a tent under the freeway on Division Street, where tents often line both sides of the street and fill the median strip. She said she’s been homeless for about a year, and is now worried that the Super Bowl means more trouble from the police. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We were told that we had to move from the area because of the Super Bowl,” Padilla said. “The mayor doesn’t want all this to be seen by the public eye.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mayor Ed Lee made headlines last August when he was widely quoted as saying that the city’s homeless “must leave the streets” before the Super Bowl. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Sam Dodge, the mayor’s point man on homelessness, said the mayor’s remarks were blown out of proportion. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“There's no formal city policy and no instructions given to cops to move people for the Super Bowl,” Dodge said. “The real things that we're concerned with right now are El Niño and people's health.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dodge said outreach workers have been trying to connect homeless people with alternatives, including services and shelter beds. The city operates about 1,200 shelter beds year-round and has been constructing temporary rain shelters for the winter months. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But many of the homeless people we spoke to complained that shelters are dirty, dangerous and, ultimately, only a short-term solution.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They just let you stay in their shelter for a week or two, and then they throw you back out on the street,” said Marin Santi. At 38, Santi says she’s been homeless since she was 11.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it’s like, why put yourself through that, get comfortable in a bed, just to go back out on the streets?\" she said. \"That’s just a torture of another torture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shortly before Christmas, Santi moved into the city’s new pilot project, the Navigation Center. Unlike other shelters, the Navigation Center is designed for long-term stays. Homeless people can move in as a group and bring their pets -- and they can stay as long as it takes to find permanent housing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dodge, whose title is director of the Mayor's Office of Housing Opportunity, Partnership & Engagement (HOPE), knows many of the clients at the Navigation Center. On a recent visit, he congratulated one man on finding housing and gave Santi a hug to welcome her. “Get warm and rest up,” he told Santi. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I’ve been in and out of group homes,” Santi said. “I never stayed long because I was always paranoid. I have bad paranoia schizophrenia.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Santi hopes the Navigation Center, which has 75 beds, will give her the safe haven she needs to get her life in order. Dodge says it takes an average of 70 days to place people with long-term housing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">About half of San Francisco's estimated 6,700 homeless people live on the streets -- an existence that makes it hard to avoid breaking the law. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, San Francisco police handed out about 2,300 citations a month — or 77 a day — for offenses such as sleeping in the park, blocking a sidewalk or drinking in public, according to city statistics. When the citations pile up, offenders can be taken to jail.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santi said she’d been jailed three times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They take my tent, they’ve put my dog in jail,” she said. “I have no clothes, no tent, they’ve taken everything I own.” Including, Santi said, her medications for HIV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dodge and others recognize the futility of arresting homeless people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My police colleagues tell me all the time that they want more real solutions, that people need housing, they need a place to go,” Dodge said. But housing in the Bay Area is already in short supply and building affordable housing can take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Ending homelessness is a matter of both resources and political will and public support,” said Dodge.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The annual homeless count has stayed relatively stable in recent years and suggests only a small growth in actual numbers. Gordon, with the DPW, thinks that widespread development is pushing homeless people into more central areas. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Our crews certainly have seen that they’re more visible,” Gordon said. And that means more friction and more calls to the city’s 311 information and service request phone line.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s often a 311 call that Public Works crews are responding to on their morning routes. Until a long-term solution to homelessness is found, they’ll continue their daily visits to homeless encampments, morning after morning, from 4 a.m. until midday, sweeping, scrubbing and hauling away trash.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you could offer a way out, most people here would grab it with both hands,” said David Tompkins, who shelters in a tiny wooden box on wheels that he constructed himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Still, Tompkins takes a pretty cynical view of city leadership.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Who wants to tackle a problem in public office when there is no fix?” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",
