As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

The worldwide program will continue through December 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple is responding to criticisms that followed its confirmation last week of independent tests that showed processors in several models of iPhone 6 and 7 were slowed down if their owners had updated their devices' operating system, or iOS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple said it took the step to ease demands on older batteries to prevent the phones from shutting down suddenly. But many users aired their frustrations that the company would tinker with how their phones operate, saying that the admission confirmed long-held suspicions that new software was slowing down phones that were only one or two years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And because the biggest changes to Apple's iOS usually come in tandem with a new iPhone model, the timing fed accusations that the approach also allowed Apple to use \"planned obsolescence\" to push customers to buy new phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/7inu45/psa_iphone_slow_try_replacing_your_battery/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a Reddit post by a user named TeckFire\u003c/a> that drove intense interest in Apple's battery strategy earlier this month, after the Redditor noticed that different versions of the iPhone 6 series were running at vastly different speeds — and that processor speeds picked up again if the battery was replaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Confirming that dynamic, Apple says that \"when a chemically aged battery is replaced with a new one, iPhone performance returns to normal when operated in standard conditions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple has said that its phone batteries are meant to keep up to 80 percent of their capacity for 500 complete charges. But if a user was able to deplete and charge the phone every day, that would equal less than 18 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tech giant also says it will issue a new iOS update sometime in early 2018, \"with new features that give users more visibility into the health of their iPhone's battery, so they can see for themselves if its condition is affecting performance.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

A federal judge in California issued an injunction partially blocking the executive order in a case brought by San Francisco and Santa Clara County. Judges in Chicago and Philadelphia also ruled against the administration. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a battle that's likely headed to appeals courts in the new year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5.

The concourse features a side gate that swings open to stairs leading out of the station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every time I'm headed to or from a train there, I see people waltzing right through that \"emergency\" exit, thus avoiding paying for their ride. Folks of all descriptions do that with little apparent fear of being challenged (the station agent's booth is a good 100 feet from the gate), concern about their fellow patrons' opinions or any legal consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/12/BrekkeBARTFareChecks.mp3\" title=\"BART Launching Effort to Get Tough on Fare Cheaters\" program=KQED News\" image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BartColiseum.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This scene is repeated often enough -- perhaps as many as 15,000 or 20,000 times every weekday, at an annual cost BART has estimated at $15 million to $25 million -- that the agency has decided to try to do a better job of persuading riders that they should pay for the sometimes questionable privilege of boarding its trains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART is taking steps like erecting higher barriers at some station concourses, making them harder to jump. The district is also installing signage and floor decals informing riders they may have to provide proof of payment and warning them against fare evasion\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those are peripheral measures. The heart of the anti-fare-cheating effort is a proof-of-payment system that will require passengers to show a valid Clipper Card or ticket, on demand, when they're inside a station's fare gates or on a train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system, similar to those already in place on Muni and Caltrain and many other systems, will rely on a half-dozen inspectors, working in teams of at least two, to check fares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proof-of-payment rules require a non-biased approach to enforcement: Inspectors carrying card readers will be required to move through an entire car or down an entire platform, moving person to person without skipping anyone, to check fares. That protocol is designed to prevent targeting of individuals based on appearance, age or behavior. To ensure the protocol is followed, fare inspectors will wear body cameras to record their enforcement efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspectors will be BART Police Department employees, but not sworn officers. BART police are also empowered to demand proof of payment if officers have \"reasonable suspicion\" that someone has entered a station's paid area without paying or any time they approach an individual patron on suspicion of some other criminal act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What will happen if you can't prove you've paid to get on a train?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first two offenses in any 12-month period will result in a non-criminal citation and fine of $75 for adults and $55 for minors. Adults who rack up a third offense in that 12-month period will face a possible criminal citation and a fine of as much as $250. Minors, who under state law \u003ca href=\"https://usa.streetsblog.org/2017/03/08/why-cities-are-starting-to-decriminalize-fare-evasion/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">may not be given\u003c/a> a criminal citation for fare evasion, would face continued lower-level fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district's fare-evasion ordinance, which formally takes effect Jan., 1, also allows all minors and low-income adults to perform community service in lieu of paying the fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While BART police may start enforcing the ordinance on New Year's Day, agency spokesman Jim Allison said last week that the new inspectors were still undergoing training and \"are expected to begin their patrols in mid-January.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added there will be a grace period of at least two weeks during which inspectors will hand out warnings to those who can't produce proof of payment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One final note: How much difference will six fare inspectors make in a system that includes 45 stations and carries hundreds of thousands of people each weekday?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's too early to say, clearly. A BART board presentation suggested that fare inspections, along with measures like higher barriers and better video monitoring, could recover $8 million to $11 million a year -- a substantial and welcome sum to an agency that considered eliminating service hours this fiscal year because of an expected deficit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll have a better answer about how the system works in six months or so, when BART police are required to report on the program's initial results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11639371\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11639371\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Proof-of-payment decals at BART's North Berkeley station. \u003ccite>(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"update\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Jan. 1, 2018, with BART statement that proof of payment inspections would begin in mid-January.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The district is also installing signage and floor decals informing riders they may have to provide proof of payment and warning them against fare evasion\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those are peripheral measures. The heart of the anti-fare-cheating effort is a proof-of-payment system that will require passengers to show a valid Clipper Card or ticket, on demand, when they're inside a station's fare gates or on a train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system, similar to those already in place on Muni and Caltrain and many other systems, will rely on a half-dozen inspectors, working in teams of at least two, to check fares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proof-of-payment rules require a non-biased approach to enforcement: Inspectors carrying card readers will be required to move through an entire car or down an entire platform, moving person to person without skipping anyone, to check fares. That protocol is designed to prevent targeting of individuals based on appearance, age or behavior. To ensure the protocol is followed, fare inspectors will wear body cameras to record their enforcement efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspectors will be BART Police Department employees, but not sworn officers. BART police are also empowered to demand proof of payment if officers have \"reasonable suspicion\" that someone has entered a station's paid area without paying or any time they approach an individual patron on suspicion of some other criminal act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What will happen if you can't prove you've paid to get on a train?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first two offenses in any 12-month period will result in a non-criminal citation and fine of $75 for adults and $55 for minors. Adults who rack up a third offense in that 12-month period will face a possible criminal citation and a fine of as much as $250. Minors, who under state law \u003ca href=\"https://usa.streetsblog.org/2017/03/08/why-cities-are-starting-to-decriminalize-fare-evasion/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">may not be given\u003c/a> a criminal citation for fare evasion, would face continued lower-level fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district's fare-evasion ordinance, which formally takes effect Jan., 1, also allows all minors and low-income adults to perform community service in lieu of paying the fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While BART police may start enforcing the ordinance on New Year's Day, agency spokesman Jim Allison said last week that the new inspectors were still undergoing training and \"are expected to begin their patrols in mid-January.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added there will be a grace period of at least two weeks during which inspectors will hand out warnings to those who can't produce proof of payment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One final note: How much difference will six fare inspectors make in a system that includes 45 stations and carries hundreds of thousands of people each weekday?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's too early to say, clearly. A BART board presentation suggested that fare inspections, along with measures like higher barriers and better video monitoring, could recover $8 million to $11 million a year -- a substantial and welcome sum to an agency that considered eliminating service hours this fiscal year because of an expected deficit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll have a better answer about how the system works in six months or so, when BART police are required to report on the program's initial results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11639371\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11639371\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/38353978754_43f2ef5860_o-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Proof-of-payment decals at BART's North Berkeley station. \u003ccite>(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"update\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Jan. 1, 2018, with BART statement that proof of payment inspections would begin in mid-January.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>In a neighborhood that once boomed with black-owned venues and hotels, and hosted musical greats like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, a struggle to survive is underway. African-American residents and business owners in the Fillmore District are trying to preserve this historically black neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It probably sounds like a common story in San Francisco, as the tech industry fuels the most expensive rental market in the United States and an extraordinary concentration of wealth. But in the Fillmore District, known in the 1940s and ‘50s as the “Harlem of the West,” this upheaval goes back decades and steeps the current debate in a bitter history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/wbwOnwI_iXw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“African-American ownership [of] stores and restaurants and hair salons and barbershops, shoeshine shops ... you watched it all disappear,” said 76-year-old Alexander T. Williams, who has lived within walking distance of the Fillmore since 1965. “As a matter of fact, my last barbershop just closed. ... I’m not sure I’ll be able to find a new barbershop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One part of the Fillmore District may now be protected from these changes: \u003ca href=\"https://thirdbaptist.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Third Baptist Church\u003c/a>, the predominantly black church where Williams has attended services since 1968, won protected status on Nov. 15 when Mayor Ed Lee -- who died a month later -- signed legislation designating it as a landmark. The church is on the corner of McAllister and Pierce streets, just a couple of blocks from San Francisco’s iconic row of houses known as the “Painted Ladies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams calls the church “a beacon,” and recalls the days when there were no empty pews. “I joined in ’68. If you were not in this sanctuary by 11:30, there were chairs put down the center aisle and the crowd loft was completely full. This was every Sunday,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11637863\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11637863\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/CA_ThirdBaptist_01-800x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alexander Williams, 76, takes communion at the Third Baptist Church in the Fillmore District of San Francisco on Nov. 5, 2017. \u003ccite>(Brittany Greeson/WGBH and The GroundTruth Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The landmark designation is a victory for the congregation, but saving the building is not synonymous with saving the church. Membership at Third Baptist Church has fallen from more than 2,000 to around 600, according to churchgoers, and the congregation continues to shrink, as people move out of the neighborhood. A couple of hundred people attended services on a recent Sunday, with many trekking into the city from the East Bay and beyond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Had not Third Baptist had its historicity, it would have been gone 10 years ago. It’s because of the respect, the loyalty and the appreciation for this institution that we have members as far away as Sacramento and Vallejo,” said the Rev. Amos C. Brown, 76, who has been the pastor for four decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Founded in 1852 as the “First Colored Baptist Church,” Third Baptist was the first African-American Baptist church west of the Rockies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It began out of struggle, unlike an ordinary, regular church,” said Brown, who is also president of the San Francisco branch of the NAACP. “It was not just about personal salvation. It was about the salvation of the people. Third Baptist was founded in response to the racism in white First Baptist of San Francisco, which was founded in 1849.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After moving several times around the city, Third Baptist Church found a home in the Fillmore District in 1952 -- a hundred years after it was founded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11637866\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11637866\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/CA_ThirdBaptist_13-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Members of the congregation sit for a luncheon following the service at the Third Baptist Church in the Fillmore District of San Francisco on Nov. 5, 2017. \u003ccite>(Brittany Greeson/WGBH and The GroundTruth Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Really, African-Americans didn’t come here for spiritual needs; they came here for social betterment,” Brown said. “In a nonprofessional, strictly therapeutic way, the black faith community has always provided mental health, for it was in the church that there was their ability to gain a sense of somebodiness, of belonging.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout its history, Third Baptist Church played a role in civil rights and social justice, and Brown was well suited to carry on that legacy. He grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, and was 14 when Emmett Till -- another 14-year-old African-American boy -- was abducted and brutally killed for allegedly whistling at a white woman in 1955. Brown was so affected by the news that he reached out to civil rights activist Medgar Evers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. Evers said to me, ‘Amos, don’t just be mad. Be smart,' ” Brown recalled. So Brown organized the first youth chapter of the NAACP in Mississippi. He became a Freedom Rider, and at Morehouse College he was one of eight students in the only college class Martin Luther King, Jr. ever taught.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Brown became pastor of Third Baptist Church in 1976, the Western Addition, which is the larger neighborhood that includes the Fillmore District, was undergoing rapid changes as part of a federal policy of urban renewal. Starting in the 1950s, the city used eminent domain to displace thousands of families, mostly African-American, to rebuild large portions of the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11637869\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11637869 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/CA_ThirdBaptist_17-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elaine Buchanan raises her hands in praise during the service at Third Baptist Church in the Fillmore District of San Francisco on Nov. 5, 2017. \u003ccite>(Brittany Greeson/WGBH and The GroundTruth Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“They called it urban renewal; we call it urban removal,” said church member Williams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said it more plainly: “They had to find a scheme of public policy to get rid of us, and that was when redevelopment emerged, which was actually black removal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census data show the African-American population in San Francisco beginning to grow in the 1940s, when war-related jobs drew many from the South, and peaking in 1970 at 13 percent. From 1970 to 2010, the city’s African-American population dropped by half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Church member Lois Carmack-Winder declined to give her age but said Third Baptist had not yet moved to its current location when she started attending at age 4 or 5, after her family moved to San Francisco from Louisiana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now there’s nowhere else to move because we can’t afford it,” said Carmack-Winder, who now lives in East Bay, but commutes in every Sunday for church. “African-Americans can no longer live in San Francisco. Families with children can no longer live in the city. ... We’ll be like the dinosaur.

The median rent for a one-bedroom unit is $3,390, according to a recent report by the rental site Zumper. San Francisco saw the biggest increase in income inequality of any U.S. city from 2010 to 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is not the city of love anymore,” said Paulet Gaines, a salon owner in the Fillmore District who plans to close up shop. “The demographics has changed. It’s no longer African-American or black-owned businesses, black-owned residing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaines says she lived in the neighborhood 13 years ago. At that time, her rent was $800 a month. That apartment now rents for $5,000 a month, which is still well under market, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her father’s apartment nearby saw a more dramatic jump. When he died in 2016, he had been paying $872. Two weeks later, the apartment was rented out at $10,500 a month, she said. “No new amenities, no parking, no anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/LkXjH5YcKlc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am going to close because I don’t have the traffic,” she said, noting that most of her African-American customers have left the neighborhood. “I'm here every day, and people just walk by, and it's -- nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown sees a literal sign of gentrification in the banners that hang down Fillmore Street, installed by a local merchants association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now they have the superficial cotton-candy sign up there, ‘Feel more in the Fillmore,’ but black people have nothing to feel,” he said. “Public policymakers, they have broken up the cultural enclaves in the African-American community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As neighborhoods become less recognizable to longtime residents, it’s not only high rent that encourages people to leave, says Malo Andre Hutson, an associate professor of city and regional planning at the University of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jFinxJ9sog&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People start to say, 'Well, my barbershop is now gone’ or ‘The place I used to go eat at is gone,' and then people start to move,” Hutson said. “People not having the same institutions that they used to go to, the cultural institutions, the faith-based institutions ... that has a big impact on people's social relationships, the overall fabric of the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The landmark designation of Third Baptist Church is part of a trend Malo is seeing across the U.S., as a way for neighborhoods to resist gentrification and preserve their culture and history. But saving buildings isn’t enough, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The congregation may still be moving away, and then they commute in, and so you need a multi-prong strategy,” he said, including economic opportunities, affordable housing and preserving local institutions and businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rev. Brown says the landmark status helps cement the church’s role in a neighborhood that has changed drastically. At the signing ceremony, he said, “Because of this designation it will forever be known that Third Baptist was here, was reckoned with and made a difference in the lives of people for the better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of \u003ca href=\"http://thegroundtruthproject.org/projects/crossing-the-divide/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crossing the Divide\u003c/a>, a cross-country reporting road trip from WGBH and The GroundTruth Project, exploring issues that divide us and stories that unite us.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

African-American residents and business owners in the Fillmore District are trying to preserve this historically black neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It probably sounds like a common story in San Francisco, as the tech industry fuels the most expensive rental market in the United States and an extraordinary concentration of wealth. But in the Fillmore District, known in the 1940s and ‘50s as the “Harlem of the West,” this upheaval goes back decades and steeps the current debate in a bitter history.\u003c/p>\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/wbwOnwI_iXw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/wbwOnwI_iXw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“African-American ownership [of] stores and restaurants and hair salons and barbershops, shoeshine shops ... you watched it all disappear,” said 76-year-old Alexander T.

I’m not sure I’ll be able to find a new barbershop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One part of the Fillmore District may now be protected from these changes: \u003ca href=\"https://thirdbaptist.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Third Baptist Church\u003c/a>, the predominantly black church where Williams has attended services since 1968, won protected status on Nov. 15 when Mayor Ed Lee -- who died a month later -- signed legislation designating it as a landmark.

Membership at Third Baptist Church has fallen from more than 2,000 to around 600, according to churchgoers, and the congregation continues to shrink, as people move out of the neighborhood. A couple of hundred people attended services on a recent Sunday, with many trekking into the city from the East Bay and beyond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Had not Third Baptist had its historicity, it would have been gone 10 years ago. It’s because of the respect, the loyalty and the appreciation for this institution that we have members as far away as Sacramento and Vallejo,” said the Rev. Amos C. Brown, 76, who has been the pastor for four decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Founded in 1852 as the “First Colored Baptist Church,” Third Baptist was the first African-American Baptist church west of the Rockies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It began out of struggle, unlike an ordinary, regular church,” said Brown, who is also president of the San Francisco branch of the NAACP. “It was not just about personal salvation. It was about the salvation of the people. Third Baptist was founded in response to the racism in white First Baptist of San Francisco, which was founded in 1849.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After moving several times around the city, Third Baptist Church found a home in the Fillmore District in 1952 -- a hundred years after it was founded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11637866\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11637866\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/CA_ThirdBaptist_13-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Members of the congregation sit for a luncheon following the service at the Third Baptist Church in the Fillmore District of San Francisco on Nov. 5, 2017. \u003ccite>(Brittany Greeson/WGBH and The GroundTruth Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Really, African-Americans didn’t come here for spiritual needs; they came here for social betterment,” Brown said. “In a nonprofessional, strictly therapeutic way, the black faith community has always provided mental health, for it was in the church that there was their ability to gain a sense of somebodiness, of belonging.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout its history, Third Baptist Church played a role in civil rights and social justice, and Brown was well suited to carry on that legacy. He grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, and was 14 when Emmett Till -- another 14-year-old African-American boy -- was abducted and brutally killed for allegedly whistling at a white woman in 1955. Brown was so affected by the news that he reached out to civil rights activist Medgar Evers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. Evers said to me, ‘Amos, don’t just be mad. Be smart,' ” Brown recalled. So Brown organized the first youth chapter of the NAACP in Mississippi. He became a Freedom Rider, and at Morehouse College he was one of eight students in the only college class Martin Luther King, Jr. ever taught.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Brown became pastor of Third Baptist Church in 1976, the Western Addition, which is the larger neighborhood that includes the Fillmore District, was undergoing rapid changes as part of a federal policy of urban renewal. Starting in the 1950s, the city used eminent domain to displace thousands of families, mostly African-American, to rebuild large portions of the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11637869\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11637869 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/CA_ThirdBaptist_17-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elaine Buchanan raises her hands in praise during the service at Third Baptist Church in the Fillmore District of San Francisco on Nov. 5, 2017. \u003ccite>(Brittany Greeson/WGBH and The GroundTruth Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“They called it urban renewal; we call it urban removal,” said church member Williams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said it more plainly: “They had to find a scheme of public policy to get rid of us, and that was when redevelopment emerged, which was actually black removal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census data show the African-American population in San Francisco beginning to grow in the 1940s, when war-related jobs drew many from the South, and peaking in 1970 at 13 percent. From 1970 to 2010, the city’s African-American population dropped by half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Church member Lois Carmack-Winder declined to give her age but said Third Baptist had not yet moved to its current location when she started attending at age 4 or 5, after her family moved to San Francisco from Louisiana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now there’s nowhere else to move because we can’t afford it,” said Carmack-Winder, who now lives in East Bay, but commutes in every Sunday for church. “African-Americans can no longer live in San Francisco.

The median rent for a one-bedroom unit is $3,390, according to a recent report by the rental site Zumper. San Francisco saw the biggest increase in income inequality of any U.S. city from 2010 to 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is not the city of love anymore,” said Paulet Gaines, a salon owner in the Fillmore District who plans to close up shop. “The demographics has changed. It’s no longer African-American or black-owned businesses, black-owned residing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaines says she lived in the neighborhood 13 years ago. At that time, her rent was $800 a month. That apartment now rents for $5,000 a month, which is still well under market, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her father’s apartment nearby saw a more dramatic jump. When he died in 2016, he had been paying $872. Two weeks later, the apartment was rented out at $10,500 a month, she said. “No new amenities, no parking, no anything.”\u003c/p>\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/LkXjH5YcKlc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/LkXjH5YcKlc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“I am going to close because I don’t have the traffic,” she said, noting that most of her African-American customers have left the neighborhood. “I'm here every day, and people just walk by, and it's -- nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown sees a literal sign of gentrification in the banners that hang down Fillmore Street, installed by a local merchants association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now they have the superficial cotton-candy sign up there, ‘Feel more in the Fillmore,’ but black people have nothing to feel,” he said. “Public policymakers, they have broken up the cultural enclaves in the African-American community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As neighborhoods become less recognizable to longtime residents, it’s not only high rent that encourages people to leave, says Malo Andre Hutson, an associate professor of city and regional planning at the University of California.\u003c/p>\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/1jFinxJ9sog'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/1jFinxJ9sog'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“People start to say, 'Well, my barbershop is now gone’ or ‘The place I used to go eat at is gone,' and then people start to move,” Hutson said. “People not having the same institutions that they used to go to, the cultural institutions, the faith-based institutions ... that has a big impact on people's social relationships, the overall fabric of the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The landmark designation of Third Baptist Church is part of a trend Malo is seeing across the U.S., as a way for neighborhoods to resist gentrification and preserve their culture and history.

Latinos got 21.2 percent of the home loans issued, and African-Americans secured just 3 percent despite making up about 6 percent of the state’s population. Asians were able to get 15 percent of the home loans in 2015, slightly more than their total state population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report looked specifically at home lending in Oakland, Fresno and Long Beach, ethnically diverse cities with low-income residents -- and cities that are undergoing gentrification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, only 7 percent of the home loans in 2015 went to black households despite African-Americans making up 28 percent of the city’s population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It starts to reflect, what is kind of stirring but the words are not really said, which is that there is still institutional and systemic racism,” said Nikki Beasley, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.richmondchamber.info/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Richmond Neighborhood Housing Services\u003c/a>, a group that helps low-income families get into home ownership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low rates of home ownership among African-Americans date back to the\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2016/04/27/redlining/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> “redlining” racial discriminatory mortgage lending practices of the 1930s\u003c/a> that denied black homebuyers financing tools based on race.

In Fresno, where Latinos were 47 percent of the population in 2015, nine out of the top 10 home loan lenders were non-traditional bank institutions. Beasley said online lenders are a great second resource for homebuyers, but their mortgage packages can come with hefty fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They do a great job, but it’s an expensive loan to get, and we really need to make sure we have leveraged all other possibilities before taking them there because it’s expensive,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stephanie Wiggins, 54, lost her home in the 2008 crash and has been renting in the Bay Area since then.

About four years ago, Wiggins was financially ready to get back into the housing market but couldn’t qualify for a loan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was always getting ruled out or put in some sort of lottery,\" Wiggins said. “It just felt very iffy -- very chancy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiggins, a single mother who is African-American, said there were many barriers. She was told her student debt-to-income ratio was too high or that she didn’t live in the right area to qualify for a certain program. She had almost given up on trying to get a home loan until she and her sister attended a housing fair and met Beasley in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiggins was pre-approved for a loan and has her eye on a house in Solano County.

The total price tag: tens of millions of dollars for polling places, voter guides — all the machinery of an election has to be cranked up even if there’s just one thing on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It makes things more complex, that’s for sure,” said L.A, County’s elections chief, Dean Logan. He’s hoping the three elections can all be held on the same date, April 3, when the election to fill Bocanegra’s seat is already scheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That would help with overhead,” Logan said, saying it costs “on average $1 million-$1.2 million to hold voting to fill each vacancy.” While all three seats are in Los Angeles County, Logan notes the districts do not overlap, so each will require its own voting procedures, ballots and equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking diplomatically, Logan said the growing number of special elections “takes time away from new projects and voting innovations,” such as a brand-new voting system the county is developing for the 2020 election. “It pulls resources away from that,” Logan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one resignation often sets off a series of others. For example, when Attorney General Kamala Harris was elected to the U.S. Senate, Gov. Brown picked Los Angeles congressman Xavier Becerra to replace her.

He in turn had to resign to fill out the remainder of Becerra’s term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That required yet another special election (primary and general) to fill Gomez’s seat in L.A. County.

The turnout for that Dec. 5 runoff in L.A. was just over 9 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Election officials have tried and failed to get the state to cover the cost of unexpected special elections. But Santa Cruz County election chief Gail Pellerin isn’t optimistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s just no money,” Pellerin noted. “And especially now that the state budget is impacted with all the emergency fires.

There’s talk that it could come up again in the new year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Dean Logan said L.A.

Nestle sells the water under the Arrowhead label.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Water Board says that of the 62.6 million gallons of water that Nestle says it extracted from the San Bernardino spring each year on average from 1947 to 2015, the company may only have a right to some 8.5 million gallons. Those numbers come from a nearly two-year investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state says Nestle should apply for a new permit and ensure that all of its water diversions comply with California regulations, laying out a timeline for the company to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Water Board began investigating after several complaints were made against Nestle during California's recent drought. Spurred by a 2015 report in \u003ca href=\"http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/2015/03/05/bottling-water-california-drought/24389417/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Desert Sun newspaper\u003c/a>, the allegations against Nestle ranged from accusation that the giant company lacked full rights to the water it was selling to claims that its actions were harming the natural environment and its inhabitants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nestle has said it monitors its spring sites to be sure they don't cause problems, and the Water Board's report was less conclusive on those points. But Nestle wasn't able to satisfy Water Board investigators who wanted to clarify how much water the company could lawfully extract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
