She’s just wondering why she’s the one who has to pay to fix it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After her daughter moved to Reno to escape high rents in the Monterey Peninsula, Thompson and her husband decided last December to purchase a $360,000 cabin in South Lake Tahoe.

Supporters say that would cover the cost of creating 3,000 new units of affordable housing, and it could \u003ca href=\"http://nonprofithousing.org/nph-priority-bill-2017-bring-california-home-act/\">leverage\u003c/a> $600 million to $1 billion in additional federal housing dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During this housing crisis we have to be sure everyone has a roof over their heads before we provide tax breaks to people with two roofs,” said the bill’s sponsor, Democratic Assemblyman David Chiu of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[HousingNeeds]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thompson acknowledges California’s housing crisis needs attention -- because of soaring Silicon Valley apartment rental rates, she and her husband invited a college student who attends their church to live rent-free in their San Jose home. But she’s adamant that taxing vacation homes is not the answer -- and that without the mortgage interest deduction, she might not have ever bought a second property in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of people I know who have second homes in California. They’re not wealthy but they’re comfortable,” said Thompson, a 61-year-old retiree. “My husband and I don’t drive expensive fancy cars. We chose a second home over traveling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 71, which last week cleared the Assembly’s housing committee, would apply only to Californians who spend a significant amount of time in their second homes. Those who rent out second properties could continue to deduct mortgage interest from their state tax returns (the Internal Revenue Service defines a rental property as a property where the owner spends less than 10 percent of time compared to rental tenants.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, Californians can deduct interest from up to $1 million in mortgage debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic lawmakers failed to reach a compromise on affordable housing funding last year, Assembly and Senate Democrats now are championing a fleet of bills to address California’s soaring housing costs. Legislators already have sent more than 100 housing-related bills to the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee alone -- well above the number introduced last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where are these second homes, and who owns them?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While traditionally considered an untouchable third rail of tax policy, the mortgage interest deduction has come under \u003ca href=\"https://qz.com/851483/trump-wants-to-cap-the-mortgage-interest-deductions-says-treasury-apointee-steve-mnuchin/\">renewed\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.aol.com/article/2013/03/29/mortgage-interest-tax-deduction-Common-Sense-Housing-Investment-Act/20518913/\">scrutiny\u003c/a> of late, precisely because the deduction disproportionately benefits wealthy homeowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly three-quarters of the tax benefit from mortgage interest deductions at the federal level go to households with cash incomes above $100,000, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/model-estimates/major-individual-income-tax-expenditures-2011/tax-expenditure-benefits-mortgage-1\">Tax Policy Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 71 targets an affluent group of Californians -- those wealthy enough to afford a second house and not use it primarily for rental income. But it wouldn’t necessarily affect the richest of the rich, who may not need to finance a second property. Over the past 10 years, about 44 percent of second homes not used for rentals were purchased without a mortgage, according to data from the California Association of Realtors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://mlevin.carto.com/viz/0146a2b5-fcd3-4904-a36f-28148c68e67b/embed_map\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on data from the federal home lender Fannie Mae (and not their own internal tax data), the Franchise Tax Board estimates that 195,000 homeowners would be affected by AB 71. On average, each of these second homeowners reduces his or her taxes by about $1,140 annually by taking advantage of the second mortgage interest deduction. That’s in addition to the sizable tax breaks they receive at the federal level on both their properties, which disproportionately benefit households with high incomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state lacks a surprising amount of data on second homeowners, including their average income. So while it’s safe to assume that second homeowners are more wealthy than your average California taxpayer, by how much more remains unknown. The National Association of Realtors estimates that nationally, second home buyers have a median household income of about $91,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for their location within California, certain regions contain high concentrations of second homes. In tiny Alpine County, home of the Kirkwood Mountain ski resort, more than 70 percent of the housing stock is comprised of vacation homes, according to U.S. Census data analyzed by the National Association of Home Builders. More than half of the homes in Mono County, near Mammoth Mountain, are seasonal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has led to concern from some of these regions that the bill could exact a hefty toll of their local economies and housing markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Local county assessors from my district have relayed their concerns regarding the removal of the (second mortgage interest deduction) and the potential impacts it could have for property values throughout California,\" said Republican Assemblyman Frank Bigelow, whose district includes all of Alpine and Mono counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The revenue rub and the governor\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Bigelow and legislators from both sides of the aisle supported a 2015 bill Chiu sponsored that increased funding for the state Low Income Housing Tax Credit program by $300 million, but it did not eliminate the mortgage interest deduction on second homes. After it won near-unanimous passage in both chambers, Gov. Brown vetoed the bill, noting that it lacked a way to pay for itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Brown has not taken a position on the new bill, Chiu expressed confidence that eliminating the second mortgage interest deduction would appease the fiscally cautious governor. “I have received every indication that if we are successful in passing this, that the governor will consider it seriously,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while attaching a new revenue source to affordable housing may satisfy the governor, it means the bill faces a precarious political path through the Legislature, where it needs a two-thirds approval vote in both chambers because it is a tax measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means supporters can’t afford to lose moderate Democratic votes in the Assembly or Senate, and will need to deflect the potent lobbying influence of the California Association of Realtors, which opposes the bill. The Realtors contributed $1.1 million to state legislative candidates in 2016, including $723,000 to Democrats, according to data from the National Institute on Money in Politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Realtors]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu “is trying to do the right thing,” said Stan Wieg, the association’s vice president. “He’s looking for a source of funding. We just think it’s misdirected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for Assemblyman Jim Cooper of Elk Grove, co-chair of the Assembly moderate Democratic caucus, said that he had not yet had time to study the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trump complicates 'dire need' for housing dollars\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Even with its designated new funding source, AB 71 could face pushback from the governor’s office on the amount of revenue the bill forecasts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state will be on the hook for $300 million in additional state housing funds regardless of how much money the elimination of the second mortgage interest deduction actually brings in. But the Franchise Tax Board did not incorporate into its initial revenue forecast any possible behavioral responses to the bill -- such as a drop in the number of people buying second homes, or more second homeowners converting their properties to rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affordable housing advocates across the state argue that the $300 million would provide a small but critical boost to the state’s affordable housing supply, given the state’s urgent need and looming federal housing programs cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-administration-considers-6-billion-cut-to-hud-budget/2017/03/08/1757e8e8-03ab-11e7-b1e9-a05d3c21f7cf_story.html?utm_term=.23a9107f8718\">reportedly\u003c/a> mulling a proposal to cut $6 billion from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, a dramatic rollback that could affect multiple affordable housing programs in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 71 would direct $300 million to the state’s low-income housing tax credit program, which pairs state tax credits with federal tax credits to attract investors in low income housing projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-trump-tax-affordable-housing-20170226-story.html\">investor demand\u003c/a> for affordable housing tax credits could be waning, the U.S. tax credit program is one of the few federal housing programs receiving significant bipartisan support and not on Trump’s chopping block. That makes affordable housing advocates all the more eager to tap one of the remaining reliable sources of federal funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the face of greater cuts to federal funding through the HUD budget, California needs affordable housing investments at the state level now more than ever,” said Sarah Brundage, state and local policy director for the affordable housing developer and advocacy group Enterprise Community Partners, Inc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The (tax credit program) in California and nationally is currently the greatest investment we make in housing. So this build would play a crucial role in ensuring developments can pencil out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other pending California bills take a different approach to funding affordable housing. One, by Democratic Sen. Toni Atkins of San Diego, would levy a $75 recording fee on real estate documents, excluding property sales. The California Association of Realtors supports that bill, but it’s opposed by mortgage lenders and county recorders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While maintaining that the governor has not taken any position on AB 71, a spokeswoman for Brown said that the governor is generally supportive of the Atkins bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But she’s adamant that taxing vacation homes is not the answer -- and that without the mortgage interest deduction, she might not have ever bought a second property in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of people I know who have second homes in California. They’re not wealthy but they’re comfortable,” said Thompson, a 61-year-old retiree. “My husband and I don’t drive expensive fancy cars. We chose a second home over traveling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 71, which last week cleared the Assembly’s housing committee, would apply only to Californians who spend a significant amount of time in their second homes. Those who rent out second properties could continue to deduct mortgage interest from their state tax returns (the Internal Revenue Service defines a rental property as a property where the owner spends less than 10 percent of time compared to rental tenants.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, Californians can deduct interest from up to $1 million in mortgage debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic lawmakers failed to reach a compromise on affordable housing funding last year, Assembly and Senate Democrats now are championing a fleet of bills to address California’s soaring housing costs. Legislators already have sent more than 100 housing-related bills to the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee alone -- well above the number introduced last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where are these second homes, and who owns them?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While traditionally considered an untouchable third rail of tax policy, the mortgage interest deduction has come under \u003ca href=\"https://qz.com/851483/trump-wants-to-cap-the-mortgage-interest-deductions-says-treasury-apointee-steve-mnuchin/\">renewed\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.aol.com/article/2013/03/29/mortgage-interest-tax-deduction-Common-Sense-Housing-Investment-Act/20518913/\">scrutiny\u003c/a> of late, precisely because the deduction disproportionately benefits wealthy homeowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly three-quarters of the tax benefit from mortgage interest deductions at the federal level go to households with cash incomes above $100,000, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/model-estimates/major-individual-income-tax-expenditures-2011/tax-expenditure-benefits-mortgage-1\">Tax Policy Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 71 targets an affluent group of Californians -- those wealthy enough to afford a second house and not use it primarily for rental income. But it wouldn’t necessarily affect the richest of the rich, who may not need to finance a second property. Over the past 10 years, about 44 percent of second homes not used for rentals were purchased without a mortgage, according to data from the California Association of Realtors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://mlevin.carto.com/viz/0146a2b5-fcd3-4904-a36f-28148c68e67b/embed_map\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on data from the federal home lender Fannie Mae (and not their own internal tax data), the Franchise Tax Board estimates that 195,000 homeowners would be affected by AB 71. On average, each of these second homeowners reduces his or her taxes by about $1,140 annually by taking advantage of the second mortgage interest deduction. That’s in addition to the sizable tax breaks they receive at the federal level on both their properties, which disproportionately benefit households with high incomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state lacks a surprising amount of data on second homeowners, including their average income. So while it’s safe to assume that second homeowners are more wealthy than your average California taxpayer, by how much more remains unknown. The National Association of Realtors estimates that nationally, second home buyers have a median household income of about $91,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for their location within California, certain regions contain high concentrations of second homes. In tiny Alpine County, home of the Kirkwood Mountain ski resort, more than 70 percent of the housing stock is comprised of vacation homes, according to U.S. Census data analyzed by the National Association of Home Builders. More than half of the homes in Mono County, near Mammoth Mountain, are seasonal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has led to concern from some of these regions that the bill could exact a hefty toll of their local economies and housing markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Local county assessors from my district have relayed their concerns regarding the removal of the (second mortgage interest deduction) and the potential impacts it could have for property values throughout California,\" said Republican Assemblyman Frank Bigelow, whose district includes all of Alpine and Mono counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The revenue rub and the governor\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Bigelow and legislators from both sides of the aisle supported a 2015 bill Chiu sponsored that increased funding for the state Low Income Housing Tax Credit program by $300 million, but it did not eliminate the mortgage interest deduction on second homes. After it won near-unanimous passage in both chambers, Gov. Brown vetoed the bill, noting that it lacked a way to pay for itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Brown has not taken a position on the new bill, Chiu expressed confidence that eliminating the second mortgage interest deduction would appease the fiscally cautious governor. “I have received every indication that if we are successful in passing this, that the governor will consider it seriously,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while attaching a new revenue source to affordable housing may satisfy the governor, it means the bill faces a precarious political path through the Legislature, where it needs a two-thirds approval vote in both chambers because it is a tax measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means supporters can’t afford to lose moderate Democratic votes in the Assembly or Senate, and will need to deflect the potent lobbying influence of the California Association of Realtors, which opposes the bill. The Realtors contributed $1.1 million to state legislative candidates in 2016, including $723,000 to Democrats, according to data from the National Institute on Money in Politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Realtors]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu “is trying to do the right thing,” said Stan Wieg, the association’s vice president. “He’s looking for a source of funding. We just think it’s misdirected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for Assemblyman Jim Cooper of Elk Grove, co-chair of the Assembly moderate Democratic caucus, said that he had not yet had time to study the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trump complicates 'dire need' for housing dollars\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Even with its designated new funding source, AB 71 could face pushback from the governor’s office on the amount of revenue the bill forecasts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state will be on the hook for $300 million in additional state housing funds regardless of how much money the elimination of the second mortgage interest deduction actually brings in. But the Franchise Tax Board did not incorporate into its initial revenue forecast any possible behavioral responses to the bill -- such as a drop in the number of people buying second homes, or more second homeowners converting their properties to rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affordable housing advocates across the state argue that the $300 million would provide a small but critical boost to the state’s affordable housing supply, given the state’s urgent need and looming federal housing programs cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-administration-considers-6-billion-cut-to-hud-budget/2017/03/08/1757e8e8-03ab-11e7-b1e9-a05d3c21f7cf_story.html?utm_term=.23a9107f8718\">reportedly\u003c/a> mulling a proposal to cut $6 billion from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, a dramatic rollback that could affect multiple affordable housing programs in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 71 would direct $300 million to the state’s low-income housing tax credit program, which pairs state tax credits with federal tax credits to attract investors in low income housing projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-trump-tax-affordable-housing-20170226-story.html\">investor demand\u003c/a> for affordable housing tax credits could be waning, the U.S. tax credit program is one of the few federal housing programs receiving significant bipartisan support and not on Trump’s chopping block. That makes affordable housing advocates all the more eager to tap one of the remaining reliable sources of federal funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the face of greater cuts to federal funding through the HUD budget, California needs affordable housing investments at the state level now more than ever,” said Sarah Brundage, state and local policy director for the affordable housing developer and advocacy group Enterprise Community Partners, Inc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The (tax credit program) in California and nationally is currently the greatest investment we make in housing. So this build would play a crucial role in ensuring developments can pencil out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other pending California bills take a different approach to funding affordable housing. One, by Democratic Sen. Toni Atkins of San Diego, would levy a $75 recording fee on real estate documents, excluding property sales. The California Association of Realtors supports that bill, but it’s opposed by mortgage lenders and county recorders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While maintaining that the governor has not taken any position on AB 71, a spokeswoman for Brown said that the governor is generally supportive of the Atkins bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>It's a long way from becoming law, but the Trump administration's proposed budget for transportation comes with a message for traffic-choked regions like the Bay Area: If you want big new transit projects to ease the congestion you're seeing, or if you're looking to make major new investments so your existing transit systems work better, that's your business -- the federal government's not going to help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration's \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/whitehouse.gov/files/omb/budget/fy2018/2018_blueprint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">preliminary spending plan\u003c/a>, made public Thursday, would end the Department of Transportation's Capital Improvement Grant program, an initiative that has been crucial to big-ticket projects in the Bay Area, across the state and throughout the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4>Trump administration transportation budget\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The preliminary proposal for the Department of Transportation recommends cutting discretionary spending by 13 percent, from $18.6 billion to $16.2 billion, in fiscal year 2018. Here are major cuts and changes in current programs:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>End support for Amtrak's long-distance intercity trains like the California Zephyr, which runs from Emeryville to Chicago, and the Coast Starlight, from Los Angeles to Seattle.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>End a program that helps pay for commercial air service to small cities -- in California, we're talking about places like the North Coast town of Crescent City and the San Joaquin Valley communities of Merced and Visalia.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Privatize the nation's air traffic control system.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In the past, the grant program has helped fund BART's extension to San Francisco International Airport, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfcta.org/central-subway\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco's Central Subway project\u003c/a>, now under construction and due to open in 2019, and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority's \u003ca href=\"http://www.vta.org/bart/stationsbart\" target=\"_blank\">BART extension into San Jose\u003c/a>, the first phase of which is due to open later this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elimination of the program, also known as New Starts, is far from a done deal. Thursday's budget proposal is just the first step in a long process that won't conclude until the fall, and New Starts has enjoyed wide support, even in a fiscally conservative, Republican-dominated Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But major Bay Area transit agencies are expressing concern, because the program figures prominently in plans to aid a series of ambitious projects that local officials say are crucial to adding capacity to the region's overtaxed transit services. The initiatives include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Caltrain's request for $647 million to help pay for electrification of its line from Silicon Valley to downtown San Francisco.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A BART project seeking between $900 million and $1 billion to modernize its train control system, upgrade its electrical equipment, finish work on a new maintenance center in Hayward and supplement its Fleet of the Future with 306 new train cars.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The VTA's request for $1.5 billion to extend BART to downtown San Jose.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The Trump proposal would apparently honor several billion dollars' worth of projects that have already obtained what the Department of Transportation calls a Full-Funding Grant Agreement, a document akin to a contract. But none of the Bay Area projects are quite at that point. The grants are contingent on a range of factors, including obtaining local and state funding and a sound financial plan, including making sure transit agencies are prepared to pay for cost overruns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Caltrain electrification project was \u003ca href=\"https://www.enotrans.org/article/usdot-puts-bay-area-commuter-rail-project-hold/\" target=\"_blank\">at the very threshold\u003c/a> of getting its final funding agreement in place last month when the Department of Transportation put the funding request on hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seamus Murphy, Caltrain's chief spokesman, said in an email from Washington, D.C., on Thursday that the electrification proposal \"continues to be in limbo.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The project checks all of the boxes that the administration has said it wants to accomplish through infrastructure investment,\" Murphy said. \"Caltrain electrification is the most shovel-ready transit project in the country, and we hope to be counted as an existing FFGA in whatever budget is ultimately approved.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART's grant request is a key part of its plan to expand service between the East Bay and San Francisco. Funding would help pay for a new train control system and to increase the number of new cars the district is buying from 775 to 1,081.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART says the new control system would allow it to send 30 cars per hour through the Transbay Tube instead of the current 23. Taking that step and adding the extra cars would expand passenger capacity by 49 percent, the agency says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project \"is critical for us,\" BART spokesman Jim Allison said. \"Most of our riders are going through the Transbay Tube and our peak-hour trains are packed. If we can get more trains through there, we can absorb additional riders and make more room for people who are riding now in cramped quarters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>VTA spokesperson Linh Hoang emphasized that the spending proposal released today is preliminary and that the budget process -- with a more complete fiscal plan due later in the spring followed by congressional revisions -- has a long way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're moving forward as planned\" on the BART extension to San Jose, she said. \"We're hoping that Congress will see the value of this project and intervene to get it funded.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if that doesn't happen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will be working diligently to fill that funding gap.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>It's a long way from becoming law, but the Trump administration's proposed budget for transportation comes with a message for traffic-choked regions like the Bay Area: If you want big new transit projects to ease the congestion you're seeing, or if you're looking to make major new investments so your existing transit systems work better, that's your business -- the federal government's not going to help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration's \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/whitehouse.gov/files/omb/budget/fy2018/2018_blueprint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">preliminary spending plan\u003c/a>, made public Thursday, would end the Department of Transportation's Capital Improvement Grant program, an initiative that has been crucial to big-ticket projects in the Bay Area, across the state and throughout the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4>Trump administration transportation budget\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The preliminary proposal for the Department of Transportation recommends cutting discretionary spending by 13 percent, from $18.6 billion to $16.2 billion, in fiscal year 2018. Here are major cuts and changes in current programs:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>End support for Amtrak's long-distance intercity trains like the California Zephyr, which runs from Emeryville to Chicago, and the Coast Starlight, from Los Angeles to Seattle.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>End a program that helps pay for commercial air service to small cities -- in California, we're talking about places like the North Coast town of Crescent City and the San Joaquin Valley communities of Merced and Visalia.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Privatize the nation's air traffic control system.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In the past, the grant program has helped fund BART's extension to San Francisco International Airport, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfcta.org/central-subway\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco's Central Subway project\u003c/a>, now under construction and due to open in 2019, and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority's \u003ca href=\"http://www.vta.org/bart/stationsbart\" target=\"_blank\">BART extension into San Jose\u003c/a>, the first phase of which is due to open later this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elimination of the program, also known as New Starts, is far from a done deal. Thursday's budget proposal is just the first step in a long process that won't conclude until the fall, and New Starts has enjoyed wide support, even in a fiscally conservative, Republican-dominated Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But major Bay Area transit agencies are expressing concern, because the program figures prominently in plans to aid a series of ambitious projects that local officials say are crucial to adding capacity to the region's overtaxed transit services. The initiatives include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Caltrain's request for $647 million to help pay for electrification of its line from Silicon Valley to downtown San Francisco.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A BART project seeking between $900 million and $1 billion to modernize its train control system, upgrade its electrical equipment, finish work on a new maintenance center in Hayward and supplement its Fleet of the Future with 306 new train cars.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The VTA's request for $1.5 billion to extend BART to downtown San Jose.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The Trump proposal would apparently honor several billion dollars' worth of projects that have already obtained what the Department of Transportation calls a Full-Funding Grant Agreement, a document akin to a contract. But none of the Bay Area projects are quite at that point. The grants are contingent on a range of factors, including obtaining local and state funding and a sound financial plan, including making sure transit agencies are prepared to pay for cost overruns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Funding would help pay for a new train control system and to increase the number of new cars the district is buying from 775 to 1,081.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART says the new control system would allow it to send 30 cars per hour through the Transbay Tube instead of the current 23. Taking that step and adding the extra cars would expand passenger capacity by 49 percent, the agency says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project \"is critical for us,\" BART spokesman Jim Allison said. \"Most of our riders are going through the Transbay Tube and our peak-hour trains are packed. If we can get more trains through there, we can absorb additional riders and make more room for people who are riding now in cramped quarters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>VTA spokesperson Linh Hoang emphasized that the spending proposal released today is preliminary and that the budget process -- with a more complete fiscal plan due later in the spring followed by congressional revisions -- has a long way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're moving forward as planned\" on the BART extension to San Jose, she said. \"We're hoping that Congress will see the value of this project and intervene to get it funded.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if that doesn't happen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will be working diligently to fill that funding gap.

Citing health concerns, some of those residents say the field remains too risky to reopen. Their cries of protest echo at every public meeting: “Shut it all down, forever! Shut it all down, forever!”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘It’s not worth the risk of reopening the facility, based on the fact that we don’t need the capacity.’\u003ccite>Liza Tucker, Consumer Watchdog\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County has backed the residents. Its lawyers have sued to keep Aliso Canyon closed until a fuller investigation of the leak’s cause is complete.

We’ve been able to meet demand with no problem by using the mitigation measures that the regulator has put into place. There are a number of them, and they were working beautifully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”BmPSty2Rc75T9UnPaI5dWU9GWv56SyOy”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker points out that \u003ca href=\"https://www.socalgas.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SoCalGas\u003c/a> has balanced supply and demand through cold and warm weather, even as the company has reduced the amount of gas stored in the field to less than one-fifth the total capacity. “It’s not worth the risk of reopening the facility, based on the fact that we don’t need the capacity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But SoCalGas’s operations manager, Rodger Schwecke, asserts that the bigger risk is in keeping the gas field closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It keeps me up at night wondering because a single day, a single incident could have a problem,” he told state legislators last month. “When you live on the edge, one small step and you can fall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SoCalGas says that happened during a cold snap in January, when the company withdrew small amounts of gas from Aliso Canyon on two days. The company has said it couldn’t schedule enough gas through pipelines fast enough to meet peak demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An adviser to L.A. County is skeptical about that claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was more gas scheduled [for delivery] on the prior two days than there were on those two days,“ says \u003ca href=\"http://www.eesconsulting.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EES Consulting \u003c/a>project manager Steve Andersen, who has reviewed reports and data related to the field. “We don’t know why that is. We’d need more information from them to figure out that and to figure out if there was some hourly issues, something that happened within the day, that caused them to need to withdraw gas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental and watchdog groups have pressed the PUC for more information about that January cold snap. Hourly demand information is confidential, according to SoCalGas and its regulator. They won’t release it, though the California Public Utilities Commission says it is looking into the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics also argue that SoCalGas can do more to reduce demand for gas, even on very hot and very cold days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the gas company isn’t alone in counseling caution: Regulators do, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”GRCM1qzytFAcdHHRa9ug2CQIFdvzQOye”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a hearing in Sacramento, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/\">CPUC’\u003c/a>s energy division chief, Ed Randolph, pointed out that the small amount of gas at Aliso Canyon is under less pressure in the storage field, meaning, “You can withdraw less gas at any moment in time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randolph suggested that, too, raises risks of brownouts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The other fear is if you have an extended heat wave and you’re withdrawing day after day after day, there’s no ability to reinject in the field, and then use that for a heat wave later in the summer,” Randolph says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With hot summer days looming, the CPUC is expected to once again weigh in on the risks for meeting weather-related energy demands — as it has this past winter and summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the state’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.conservation.ca.gov/dog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Department of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources\u003c/a>, in consultation with the CPUC, is considering whether it is safe for SoCalGas to reopen and operate about a third of the wells at the Aliso Canyon field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first decision we have to make is, based on the facts and the investments and the repairs that have been done, is the facility safe enough to open?” says CPUC Executive Director Tim Sullivan. “The second question is, does it make sense to have this facility here in the long run? And decisions in the short run have nothing to do with decisions in the long run.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC is just beginning an investigation on whether Aliso Canyon is necessary, and if so, at what capacity. No answer is expected on that second question until at least the middle of next year.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Citing health concerns, some of those residents say the field remains too risky to reopen. Their cries of protest echo at every public meeting: “Shut it all down, forever! Shut it all down, forever!”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘It’s not worth the risk of reopening the facility, based on the fact that we don’t need the capacity.’\u003ccite>Liza Tucker, Consumer Watchdog\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County has backed the residents. Its lawyers have sued to keep Aliso Canyon closed until a fuller investigation of the leak’s cause is complete. And a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB57\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bill\u003c/a> now moving in Sacramento aims to require that root-cause analysis before gas is again pumped into the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One argument deployed frequently in battles among policymakers, regulators, the company and the public is that the field may not even be needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s time to let it rest,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Consumer Watchdog’s \u003c/a>Liza Tucker. “All of the indications so far demonstrate that it’s not critical. We’ve been able to meet demand with no problem by using the mitigation measures that the regulator has put into place. There are a number of them, and they were working beautifully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The company has said it couldn’t schedule enough gas through pipelines fast enough to meet peak demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An adviser to L.A. County is skeptical about that claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was more gas scheduled [for delivery] on the prior two days than there were on those two days,“ says \u003ca href=\"http://www.eesconsulting.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EES Consulting \u003c/a>project manager Steve Andersen, who has reviewed reports and data related to the field. “We don’t know why that is. We’d need more information from them to figure out that and to figure out if there was some hourly issues, something that happened within the day, that caused them to need to withdraw gas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental and watchdog groups have pressed the PUC for more information about that January cold snap. Hourly demand information is confidential, according to SoCalGas and its regulator. They won’t release it, though the California Public Utilities Commission says it is looking into the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics also argue that SoCalGas can do more to reduce demand for gas, even on very hot and very cold days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the gas company isn’t alone in counseling caution: Regulators do, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a hearing in Sacramento, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/\">CPUC’\u003c/a>s energy division chief, Ed Randolph, pointed out that the small amount of gas at Aliso Canyon is under less pressure in the storage field, meaning, “You can withdraw less gas at any moment in time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randolph suggested that, too, raises risks of brownouts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The other fear is if you have an extended heat wave and you’re withdrawing day after day after day, there’s no ability to reinject in the field, and then use that for a heat wave later in the summer,” Randolph says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With hot summer days looming, the CPUC is expected to once again weigh in on the risks for meeting weather-related energy demands — as it has this past winter and summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the state’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.conservation.ca.gov/dog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Department of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources\u003c/a>, in consultation with the CPUC, is considering whether it is safe for SoCalGas to reopen and operate about a third of the wells at the Aliso Canyon field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first decision we have to make is, based on the facts and the investments and the repairs that have been done, is the facility safe enough to open?” says CPUC Executive Director Tim Sullivan. “The second question is, does it make sense to have this facility here in the long run? And decisions in the short run have nothing to do with decisions in the long run.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC is just beginning an investigation on whether Aliso Canyon is necessary, and if so, at what capacity. No answer is expected on that second question until at least the middle of next year.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
