His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>Ahead of California’s Super Tuesday election on March 3, the residents of Mountain View are debating over a popular topic in the Bay Area: rent control. Proponents of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mountainview.gov/depts/clerk/election/default.asp\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Measure D\u003c/a> say it will protect renters, but not all renters agree.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Measure D’s Rent Cap\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>For now, rent hikes in Mountain View are directly tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), also known as the rate of inflation. It typically fluctuates between 2 to 5%, but for now, it’s at 3.5%. One of Measure D’s main features is that it would cap annual rent increases at 4%. Mountain View Mayor Margaret Abe-Koga supports this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s more predictability on both sides, frankly — from the landlords’ side and the tenants’ side,” Abe-Koga said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She called it “reasonable rent control.” She argues that, even if landlords increase rents by 0.5% to 4%, a Google employee making over $100,000 a year should be able to afford that compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Mountain View Mayor Lenny Siegel doesn’t agree. As an outspoken advocate for affordable housing, Siegel said a 0.5% increase to the rent cap could price out people already living paycheck to paycheck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a lot of software engineers who moved here to work for Google and other places. Well, they have cafeteria workers to feed them. If there’s no place for the cafeteria workers [to live], who’s going to feed the Google employees?” Siegel said. “If teachers can’t afford to live here, how’re the kids of the more affluent residents — how’re they going to be taught?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803168\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11803168\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut.jpg\" alt=\"mountain view housing\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Housing being built in Mountain View, California on Feb. 19, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>The Price of Upgrading an Apartment\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You can be an affluent renter and still feel that high rents can make living in Mountain View tenuous. Sabah Munawar moved to Mountain View about three years ago when her husband got a job at Nokia. They landed in a cozy, sunlit one bedroom apartment downtown they pay about $3,100 each month for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munawar’s apartment is across from City Hall, downtown and the public library, which was a big selling point for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of my apartments or my parents’ house has been walking distance from the library. That’s how it’s supposed to be,” Munawar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munawar has been politically active since high school, but for the first time, she’s been knocking on doors campaigning against Measure D. The rent cap isn’t her main concern — she is more nervous about another part of the measure which allows landlords to pass along the cost of improving a unit up to a 10% hike on the annual rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would be displaced,” Munawar said. “We’d have to actually think about either moving or looking for other jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite\u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/Eg2VCn5zDjCGyrwzh9UTXd?domain=jointventure.org\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> historically high rents\u003c/a> in Silicon Valley, many landlords have dragged their feet upgrading the properties they own. For example, hundreds of soft-story apartment buildings remain \u003ca href=\"https://www.mountainview.gov/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=15284\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">seismically unfit\u003c/a> to withstand an earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve heard from tenants who want upgrades who have been told ‘no’ because property owners don’t have a guarantee of cost recovery,” Mayor Abe-Koga said.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Ahead of California’s Super Tuesday election on March 3, the residents of Mountain View are debating over a popular topic in the Bay Area: rent control. Proponents of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mountainview.gov/depts/clerk/election/default.asp\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Measure D\u003c/a> say it will protect renters, but not all renters agree.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Measure D’s Rent Cap\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>For now, rent hikes in Mountain View are directly tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), also known as the rate of inflation. It typically fluctuates between 2 to 5%, but for now, it’s at 3.5%. One of Measure D’s main features is that it would cap annual rent increases at 4%. Mountain View Mayor Margaret Abe-Koga supports this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s more predictability on both sides, frankly — from the landlords’ side and the tenants’ side,” Abe-Koga said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She called it “reasonable rent control.” She argues that, even if landlords increase rents by 0.5% to 4%, a Google employee making over $100,000 a year should be able to afford that compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Mountain View Mayor Lenny Siegel doesn’t agree. As an outspoken advocate for affordable housing, Siegel said a 0.5% increase to the rent cap could price out people already living paycheck to paycheck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a lot of software engineers who moved here to work for Google and other places. Well, they have cafeteria workers to feed them. If there’s no place for the cafeteria workers [to live], who’s going to feed the Google employees?” Siegel said. “If teachers can’t afford to live here, how’re the kids of the more affluent residents — how’re they going to be taught?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803168\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11803168\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut.jpg\" alt=\"mountain view housing\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Housing being built in Mountain View, California on Feb. 19, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>The Price of Upgrading an Apartment\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You can be an affluent renter and still feel that high rents can make living in Mountain View tenuous. Sabah Munawar moved to Mountain View about three years ago when her husband got a job at Nokia. They landed in a cozy, sunlit one bedroom apartment downtown they pay about $3,100 each month for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munawar’s apartment is across from City Hall, downtown and the public library, which was a big selling point for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of my apartments or my parents’ house has been walking distance from the library. That’s how it’s supposed to be,” Munawar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munawar has been politically active since high school, but for the first time, she’s been knocking on doors campaigning against Measure D. The rent cap isn’t her main concern — she is more nervous about another part of the measure which allows landlords to pass along the cost of improving a unit up to a 10% hike on the annual rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would be displaced,” Munawar said. “We’d have to actually think about either moving or looking for other jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite\u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/Eg2VCn5zDjCGyrwzh9UTXd?domain=jointventure.org\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> historically high rents\u003c/a> in Silicon Valley, many landlords have dragged their feet upgrading the properties they own. For example, hundreds of soft-story apartment buildings remain \u003ca href=\"https://www.mountainview.gov/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=15284\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">seismically unfit\u003c/a> to withstand an earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve heard from tenants who want upgrades who have been told ‘no’ because property owners don’t have a guarantee of cost recovery,” Mayor Abe-Koga said.

For a woman who bought her house in 2016? It was $13,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason for this variance: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11792662/walking-tour-attempts-to-explain-proposed-changes-to-prop-13\">Proposition 13\u003c/a>. That’s the voter-led initiative passed in 1978, which tied property tax rates to the purchase price of a home or business, and limited how much tax bills could grow. It substantially changed California by slashing revenue that cities, counties and school districts use to operate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is all timely, because in November, you and other California voters will decide whether the tax cap should be lifted for certain commercial properties. This is called the “split roll” initiative and, if approved, it would deliver revenue for cities, counties and school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, many believe Proposition 13 would continue to create unequal tax burdens, even if the split roll initiative passes. Others say it protects people on fixed incomes who bought their homes decades ago, and who would be financially incapable of paying current property tax rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So… how do you think our property tax system could be more fair to all Californians?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED journalists will moderate the submissions.

For a woman who bought her house in 2016? It was $13,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason for this variance: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11792662/walking-tour-attempts-to-explain-proposed-changes-to-prop-13\">Proposition 13\u003c/a>. That’s the voter-led initiative passed in 1978, which tied property tax rates to the purchase price of a home or business, and limited how much tax bills could grow. It substantially changed California by slashing revenue that cities, counties and school districts use to operate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is all timely, because in November, you and other California voters will decide whether the tax cap should be lifted for certain commercial properties. This is called the “split roll” initiative and, if approved, it would deliver revenue for cities, counties and school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, many believe Proposition 13 would continue to create unequal tax burdens, even if the split roll initiative passes. Others say it protects people on fixed incomes who bought their homes decades ago, and who would be financially incapable of paying current property tax rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So… how do you think our property tax system could be more fair to all Californians?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED journalists will moderate the submissions. They will read each statement submitted and use journalistic ethical standards to offer quality control and civility for the experiment. Offensive and racist language will not be tolerated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom made homelessness the focus of his State of the State address Wednesday, reflecting not only \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/press-release/sanders-biden-and-warren-lead-in-californias-primary/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Californians’ top concern\u003c/a> but also nearly 20 years of wrangling on an issue that’s followed him from San Francisco City Hall to the Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No amount of progress can camouflage the most pernicious crisis in our midst,” Newsom said, “the ultimate manifestation of poverty: homelessness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://priceschool.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Press-Release-USC-Price-USC-Schwarzenegger-Institute-Homelessness-Poll.pdf\">recent statewide poll\u003c/a> showed homelessness and housing are top of mind for likely California voters ahead of the state’s March 3 primary election. About 42% of those surveyed said they see many tents and encampments in the public places and streets where they live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his address, Newsom called for new and ongoing revenue sources to pay for homeless services and new housing. He warned that cities and counties would be held accountable to ensure they spend state health care dollars on homeless people suffering from mental illnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social services advocate Jennifer Friedenbach with the San Francisco Coalition on Homelessness said she’s thrilled Newsom is taking the issue seriously, but that the state must focus deeply on investment or else these will only be temporary fixes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks with severe mental health issues that are out on the streets are victims of a system,” she said. “They feel that the system is resistant to helping them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a San Francisco supervisor in 2002, Newsom drew national attention with his “Care Not Cash” ballot initiative that diverted public assistance from homeless residents to pay landlords for shelter, instead. The program rankled advocates and challenged the city’s status as a progressive stronghold. It also helped get him elected mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seventeen years later, Newsom has again made homelessness one of his top priorities as the number of people experiencing homelessness in California \u003ca href=\"https://files.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/2019-AHAR-Part-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grew to more than 151,000\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some people who followed Newsom’s early career are optimistic about his willingness to attach his name to such a thorny issue — going so far as to say he’ll “own homelessness” in California, a state with more than a quarter of the nation’s unhoused people — others aren’t sure he’ll focus on the kind of solutions needed to right this societal wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Care Not Cash\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When Care Not Cash went to the ballot in 2002, homelessness had reached peak levels. There were 8,640 residents without homes on a given night in San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"http://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/San_Francisco_Homeless_Count_2005_Final_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to a biennial survey\u003c/a> for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. That’s about 8 percent more than the 8,011 homeless residents counted during the \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/scorecards/safety-net/homeless-population\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">same survey in 2019\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the start of the decade, Dot-Com companies were swarming San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood, while elsewhere in the city, rents rose and evictions spiked. The average two-bedroom apartment in 2001 was going for about $3,500 in today’s dollars, \u003ca href=\"https://sfrb.org/sites/default/files/FileCenter/Documents/1862-sfhousingdatabook.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to a 2002 report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority of progressive politicians, many without prior political experience, had swept the Board of Supervisors in 2000 — a citizen revolt to the pro-development Mayor Willie Brown, said Richard DeLeon, professor emeritus of political science at San Francisco State University. Newsom was seen then as somewhat of a pariah, DeLeon said, a centrist who had been hand-picked by Brown to fill a mid-term vacancy on the board in 1997.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the Dot Com bubble burst and office spaces in the city’s South of Market neighborhood started becoming vacant. Care Not Cash, Newsom’s signature issue, became a test of the city’s values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom and other city officials claimed out-of-towners were coming into San Francisco to get public assistance checks. And those that were here were \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM-ewEmPwhY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">likely using that money for drugs and alcohol\u003c/a>. In one \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usyn5yg6ejk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">television ad\u003c/a> for Care Not Cash, a series of disheveled men speak directly into the camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I take your cash, and I buy drugs,” the commercial begins, “crack, heroin, alcohol.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usyn5yg6ejk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was pretty harmful to public sentiment around supporting real solutions,” said Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters sided with Newsom, and the measure won with \u003ca href=\"http://www.smartvoter.org/2002/11/05/ca/sf/meas/N/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">60 percent\u003c/a> approval. It was the boost Newsom needed to launch his mayoral campaign a few months later, De Leon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It put him on the map, politically,” DeLeon said. “It certainly put a spotlight on him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trent Rhorer, who has served as the executive director of San Francisco’s Human Services Agency since 2000 and oversaw the implementation of Care Not Cash, remembers a young supervisor and later mayor who seemed to genuinely care about the plight of homeless residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rhorer received so many requests for information from Supervisor Newsom that he set up weekly meetings. Reports that Rhorer gave him would return dog-eared and highlighted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would have these two-hour sessions … and the meetings would just go on and on and on,” Rhorer recalled. “When he left the office, [Newsom] knew more about homelessness than I did, honestly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11802395\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11802395\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/SF-Homeless-2002-800x528.jpg\" alt=\"Dozens of homeless people line up for a meal at St. Anthony's Church on Dec. 6, 2002 in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/SF-Homeless-2002-800x528.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/SF-Homeless-2002-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/SF-Homeless-2002-1020x673.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/SF-Homeless-2002.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dozens of homeless people line up for a meal at St. Anthony’s Church on Dec. 6, 2002 in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Care Not Cash officially launched in May 2004, reducing the amount of money homeless residents received from a maximum of $410 per month to $59. In exchange, program enrollees got food and a guaranteed bed at a shelter or in a single-room occupancy hotel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the city updated its homeless survey in 2005, it saw a 2\u003ca href=\"http://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/San_Francisco_Homeless_Count_2005_Final_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">8 percent reduction\u003c/a> in the number of homeless people compared to 2002. Friedenbach believes it’s unlikely Care Not Cash contributed to that reduction since the program didn’t create any new housing. Newsom’s predecessor, Mayor Brown, approved \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11765010/timeline-the-frustrating-political-history-of-homelessness-in-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">thousands of new affordable housing units\u003c/a>, which Friedenbach said had just finished construction around that time and probably made more of a difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rhorer says ending homelessness was never the goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was about welfare reform,” Rhorer said. And in that way, it worked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Care Not Cash began in the spring of 2004, the city immediately saw a reduction in the number of homeless people claiming benefits. In December 2003, there were 2,632 people who received assistance, which dropped to 642 in December 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>In Newsom’s Wake\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The number of people experiencing homelessness then remained relatively stable during Newsom’s tenure until it began to increase again in 2011, right around the time he left to become lieutenant governor, growing from nearly 5,700 people to more than 8,000 in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether Newsom’s leadership would have helped stem the increase is impossible to know, but Bevan Dufty thinks it would have helped. Dufty, now a BART board director, served on San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors with Newsom. He later served as Mayor Ed Lee’s head of homeless policy.[aside label='Related Coverage' postID=news_11801313,news_11796428,news_11795888 ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gavin was mayor during a lot of years when the cupboard was dry,” when the Great Recession hit, Dufty said. “I think San Francisco’s homeless problem would seem very different because he wouldn’t be afraid, if he had had the resources, to put them to use to house people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not much has changed about Care Not Cash since its inception, Rhorer said, except that now, the city uses a more sophisticated screening matrix to prioritize people who are disabled, chronically homeless or have other special needs — and the amount of public assistance has grown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As mayor, Newsom had also launched an ambitious 10-year plan in 2004 to end chronic homelessness and pledged to build 3,000 new units of supportive housing. By 2014, San Francisco built 2,669 of the units that Newsom pledged as mayor but homelessness still rose — climbing to 6,775 people by 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it continues to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decade after Newsom left the mayor’s office, homelessness is a bigger issue than ever, with solutions seeming more out of reach than ever before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He kicked off the year with a proposal to direct \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/08/794687084/california-governor-pushes-1-4-billion-plan-to-tackle-homelessness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$1.4 billion of the state budget\u003c/a> to pay for rent subsidies, board and care homes, health services and affordable housing, and then went on a statewide tour of emergency shelters and mental health care centers. And he started distributing the first two dozen of 100 former \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11796428/newsom-to-unveil-travel-trailers-for-homeless-in-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FEMA trailers and tents\u003c/a> to provide immediate housing for people experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Newsom said the state would make available 286 state-owed properties such as vacant lots, fairgrounds, armories and other state buildings for potential shelter options that local governments can use for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To speed up construction of affordable housing and shelters, Newsom said he would like to bypass state environmental reviews, which are sometimes used to block and delay projects. He also urged the Legislature to reform land use laws to eliminate delays on affordable housing projects around transit hubs and downtown areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I respect local control, but not at the cost of creating a two-class California,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friedenbach, a staunch critic of Newsom’s tenure in San Francisco, is hopeful. She was pleased to see Newsom’s executive order to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11801313/newsom-offers-vacant-land-for-homeless-shelters-but-local-officials-worry-who-will-pay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">use surplus state land for emergency shelters\u003c/a> and his push to provide significant one-time funds to address homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m a big believer in redemption,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom made homelessness the focus of his State of the State address Wednesday, reflecting not only \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/press-release/sanders-biden-and-warren-lead-in-californias-primary/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Californians’ top concern\u003c/a> but also nearly 20 years of wrangling on an issue that’s followed him from San Francisco City Hall to the Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No amount of progress can camouflage the most pernicious crisis in our midst,” Newsom said, “the ultimate manifestation of poverty: homelessness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://priceschool.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Press-Release-USC-Price-USC-Schwarzenegger-Institute-Homelessness-Poll.pdf\">recent statewide poll\u003c/a> showed homelessness and housing are top of mind for likely California voters ahead of the state’s March 3 primary election. About 42% of those surveyed said they see many tents and encampments in the public places and streets where they live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his address, Newsom called for new and ongoing revenue sources to pay for homeless services and new housing. He warned that cities and counties would be held accountable to ensure they spend state health care dollars on homeless people suffering from mental illnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social services advocate Jennifer Friedenbach with the San Francisco Coalition on Homelessness said she’s thrilled Newsom is taking the issue seriously, but that the state must focus deeply on investment or else these will only be temporary fixes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks with severe mental health issues that are out on the streets are victims of a system,” she said. “They feel that the system is resistant to helping them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a San Francisco supervisor in 2002, Newsom drew national attention with his “Care Not Cash” ballot initiative that diverted public assistance from homeless residents to pay landlords for shelter, instead. The program rankled advocates and challenged the city’s status as a progressive stronghold. It also helped get him elected mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seventeen years later, Newsom has again made homelessness one of his top priorities as the number of people experiencing homelessness in California \u003ca href=\"https://files.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/2019-AHAR-Part-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grew to more than 151,000\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some people who followed Newsom’s early career are optimistic about his willingness to attach his name to such a thorny issue — going so far as to say he’ll “own homelessness” in California, a state with more than a quarter of the nation’s unhoused people — others aren’t sure he’ll focus on the kind of solutions needed to right this societal wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There were 8,640 residents without homes on a given night in San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"http://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/San_Francisco_Homeless_Count_2005_Final_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to a biennial survey\u003c/a> for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. That’s about 8 percent more than the 8,011 homeless residents counted during the \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/scorecards/safety-net/homeless-population\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">same survey in 2019\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the start of the decade, Dot-Com companies were swarming San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood, while elsewhere in the city, rents rose and evictions spiked. The average two-bedroom apartment in 2001 was going for about $3,500 in today’s dollars, \u003ca href=\"https://sfrb.org/sites/default/files/FileCenter/Documents/1862-sfhousingdatabook.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to a 2002 report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority of progressive politicians, many without prior political experience, had swept the Board of Supervisors in 2000 — a citizen revolt to the pro-development Mayor Willie Brown, said Richard DeLeon, professor emeritus of political science at San Francisco State University. Newsom was seen then as somewhat of a pariah, DeLeon said, a centrist who had been hand-picked by Brown to fill a mid-term vacancy on the board in 1997.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the Dot Com bubble burst and office spaces in the city’s South of Market neighborhood started becoming vacant. Care Not Cash, Newsom’s signature issue, became a test of the city’s values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom and other city officials claimed out-of-towners were coming into San Francisco to get public assistance checks. And those that were here were \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM-ewEmPwhY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">likely using that money for drugs and alcohol\u003c/a>.

It was the boost Newsom needed to launch his mayoral campaign a few months later, De Leon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It put him on the map, politically,” DeLeon said. “It certainly put a spotlight on him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trent Rhorer, who has served as the executive director of San Francisco’s Human Services Agency since 2000 and oversaw the implementation of Care Not Cash, remembers a young supervisor and later mayor who seemed to genuinely care about the plight of homeless residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rhorer received so many requests for information from Supervisor Newsom that he set up weekly meetings. Reports that Rhorer gave him would return dog-eared and highlighted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would have these two-hour sessions … and the meetings would just go on and on and on,” Rhorer recalled. “When he left the office, [Newsom] knew more about homelessness than I did, honestly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11802395\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11802395\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/SF-Homeless-2002-800x528.jpg\" alt=\"Dozens of homeless people line up for a meal at St. Anthony's Church on Dec. 6, 2002 in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/SF-Homeless-2002-800x528.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/SF-Homeless-2002-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/SF-Homeless-2002-1020x673.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/SF-Homeless-2002.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dozens of homeless people line up for a meal at St. Anthony’s Church on Dec. 6, 2002 in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Care Not Cash officially launched in May 2004, reducing the amount of money homeless residents received from a maximum of $410 per month to $59. In exchange, program enrollees got food and a guaranteed bed at a shelter or in a single-room occupancy hotel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the city updated its homeless survey in 2005, it saw a 2\u003ca href=\"http://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/San_Francisco_Homeless_Count_2005_Final_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">8 percent reduction\u003c/a> in the number of homeless people compared to 2002. Friedenbach believes it’s unlikely Care Not Cash contributed to that reduction since the program didn’t create any new housing. Newsom’s predecessor, Mayor Brown, approved \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11765010/timeline-the-frustrating-political-history-of-homelessness-in-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">thousands of new affordable housing units\u003c/a>, which Friedenbach said had just finished construction around that time and probably made more of a difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rhorer says ending homelessness was never the goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was about welfare reform,” Rhorer said. And in that way, it worked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Care Not Cash began in the spring of 2004, the city immediately saw a reduction in the number of homeless people claiming benefits. In December 2003, there were 2,632 people who received assistance, which dropped to 642 in December 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>In Newsom’s Wake\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The number of people experiencing homelessness then remained relatively stable during Newsom’s tenure until it began to increase again in 2011, right around the time he left to become lieutenant governor, growing from nearly 5,700 people to more than 8,000 in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether Newsom’s leadership would have helped stem the increase is impossible to know, but Bevan Dufty thinks it would have helped. Dufty, now a BART board director, served on San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors with Newsom. He later served as Mayor Ed Lee’s head of homeless policy.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

By 2014, San Francisco built 2,669 of the units that Newsom pledged as mayor but homelessness still rose — climbing to 6,775 people by 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it continues to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decade after Newsom left the mayor’s office, homelessness is a bigger issue than ever, with solutions seeming more out of reach than ever before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He kicked off the year with a proposal to direct \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/08/794687084/california-governor-pushes-1-4-billion-plan-to-tackle-homelessness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$1.4 billion of the state budget\u003c/a> to pay for rent subsidies, board and care homes, health services and affordable housing, and then went on a statewide tour of emergency shelters and mental health care centers.

He also urged the Legislature to reform land use laws to eliminate delays on affordable housing projects around transit hubs and downtown areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I respect local control, but not at the cost of creating a two-class California,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friedenbach, a staunch critic of Newsom’s tenure in San Francisco, is hopeful.

In effect through June 2022, the agreement includes a 3% annual wage increase, child care subsidies, a signing bonus and health care benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In exchange for these guaranteed benefits, the University received a contractual promise that the TAs would not strike while the collective bargaining agreement was in effect,” Napolitano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Consequently, the wildcat strike by UC Santa Cruz TAs, where a number of TAs have withheld or deleted fall grades and are refusing to teach classes, is unauthorized and in direct violation of the existing collective bargaining agreement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the release of the letter, UCSC officials notified teaching assistants that they must enter final grades by this coming Friday or face dismissal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/payusmoreucsc/status/1229911492247592962?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a student press conference Tuesday, strike leaders urged officials to work toward a resolution rather than with “intimidation, police violence and threats.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The current threat to fire graduate students en masse is the wrong move on the part of the administration,” said Veronica Hamilton, an official with the UCSC Graduate Students Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamilton said firing hundreds of graduate students participating in the strikes would “jeopardize the university’s own mission to provide quality education and innovative research.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, UCSC’s International Student Advising Team warned students that participation in the strike could result in discipline or arrest and impact enrollment, potentially jeopardizing their immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yulia Gilichinskaya, co-president of the graduate student association, said international students who are dismissed from their teaching positions would have to pay out-of-pocket for tuition, health care and other expenses without being able to earn an income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Effectively losing employment for international students means we cannot stay here,” said Gilichinskaya, an international student pursuing a Ph.D in film and digital media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, she and other students said they were undeterred by the warnings, and planned to meet Tuesday evening to discuss next steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“International students are an active and vital part of this campaign,” said Gilichinskaya during Tuesday’s student press conference. “We know the risks of striking and [we’re] doing it nonetheless to make it clear we are in a crisis and it needs to be resolved now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sohum Banerjea, an international graduate student who studies computer science, also criticized the university’s tactics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re using this power that they have constructed over us in order to try and force us to bend to their will,” said Banerjea. “That is not what I think a public university should be in the business of doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCSC officials said in a followup statement that the message to international students was meant to give fair notice about possible repercussions of the strike but regretted inadvertently creating unnecessary anxiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://news.ucsc.edu/2020/02/cpevc-graduate-student-strike-update.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letter to faculty on Friday\u003c/a>, Executive Vice Chancellor Lori Kletzer said graduate students had already been offered additional support packages starting in the fall, as well as a need-based annual housing supplement of $2,500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Despite this overture that provides significant improvement in financial support, the grading strike did not come to an end, but escalated to a full teaching strike,” she said. “And while I understand the drivers, I do not support the approach. Moreover, and more importantly, the approach taken by our striking graduate student employees is having a significant negative impact on the emotional well-being and academic success of our undergraduate students, our dedicated staff who have gone above and beyond to mitigate the consequences, and the very mission of our campus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students are demanding $1,412 more per month.

Details about what exactly would be in the proposed legislation or when it would be introduced are still being worked out, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Dominique Walker, cofounder of Moms 4 Housing\"]'We believe that housing is a human right and we’re going to fight for that.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The phrase has recently been on the lips of housing justice activists and some local lawmakers, especially after Dominique Walker and other mothers facing homelessness in November occupied the West Oakland house, which is owned by a Southern California-based real estate investment firm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe that housing is a human right and we’re going to fight for that,” said Walker, a founder of the group Moms 4 Housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rallying cry is both protest and petition in a bid to urge government leaders and corporations to address the widening equity gap in housing and provide for people forced to live in shelters, on the streets or in overcrowded homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Does 'Housing as a Human Right' Mean?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Most advocates for tenants rights and homeless people believe housing is essential, much like food or water. “It has to begin with the recognition of what it takes to be a human being,” said Osha Neumann, an attorney with the East Bay Community Law Center and longtime defender of people experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If someone has a right to life, someone has a right to what is required to live that life,” Neumann said. “And housing, shelter is certainly one of those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United Nations identifies adequate housing as a fundamental human right, defining it as “the right to live somewhere in security, peace and dignity.” It further clarifies these rights to include security of tenure, adequate conditions, protection against forced evictions and access to affordable housing, according to the UN's \u003ca href=\"https://www.ohchr.org/en/professionalinterest/pages/cescr.aspx\">International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A right to adequate housing is not a requirement that states build free housing for the entire population, said Eric Tars, legal director at the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty. Rather, he said, it devotes resources and protective measures to prevent homelessness, discrimination and promote permanent stable housing. That could take the form of more public housing and vouchers, incentives to develop affordable housing, rent control and inclusionary zoning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that looks like at the local level is a lot of things that our country is doing already, but it needs to be brought to a fuller scale,” Tars said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tars has spent most of his career researching housing and human rights law, and said it will take a bold move, like a legal right to housing, to address the country’s affordability crisis and growing homeless population. And time and political pressure is needed to shift housing policy at a local and national level toward a rights-based paradigm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"affordable-housing\"]“I'm hopeful that we're laying the rhetorical framework to envision housing as a right so that we can then build the political momentum to actually implement it,” Tars said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recognizing a legal or human right to housing could give advocates, tenants and people experiencing homelessness a tool to hold landlords legally responsible for spiking rents high or to sue cities that are not building sufficient affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But enforcing a right to housing would also be difficult given the high cost of affordable housing production, especially in a region as pricey as the San Francisco Bay Area. And it also runs contrary to America's longstanding capitalist approach to using housing and property as a market-influenced commodity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The right to housing in this society comes when you have the money,” Neumann said. “If you don't show them the money, you don't have a right to housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is This a New Idea?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Although it might seem like a new idea, the concept of housing as a human right was actually considered as federal policy in the aftermath of the Great Depression. In his 1944 State of the Union address, with the world still at war, President Franklin D.

Rather, he said, it devotes resources and protective measures to prevent homelessness, discrimination and promote permanent stable housing. That could take the form of more public housing and vouchers, incentives to develop affordable housing, rent control and inclusionary zoning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that looks like at the local level is a lot of things that our country is doing already, but it needs to be brought to a fuller scale,” Tars said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tars has spent most of his career researching housing and human rights law, and said it will take a bold move, like a legal right to housing, to address the country’s affordability crisis and growing homeless population. And time and political pressure is needed to shift housing policy at a local and national level toward a rights-based paradigm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And it also runs contrary to America's longstanding capitalist approach to using housing and property as a market-influenced commodity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The right to housing in this society comes when you have the money,” Neumann said. “If you don't show them the money, you don't have a right to housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is This a New Idea?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Although it might seem like a new idea, the concept of housing as a human right was actually considered as federal policy in the aftermath of the Great Depression. In his 1944 State of the Union address, with the world still at war, President Franklin D. Roosevelt introduced a “Second Bill of Rights,” an effort to further address the rampant poverty and income inequality that still besieged millions of Americans.

In \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GgXl4Npa2RjKAIsrTqoh2mlDH8l4YlbtwNkDdMehBzw/edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a separate letter\u003c/a> last week to Wiener, the groups said the bill would stimulate speculation by Wall Street and hedge fund landlords and incentivize them to keep units vacant in order to drive up prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The lack of truly affordable homes or substantive, enforceable tenant protections in SB 50 leaves too many vulnerable to the whims of the real estate market, which has undermined community stability for generations,\" the letter reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener, a Democrat who represents San Francisco, has made a number of amendments to the bill since it was first introduced, including provisions to protect rental buildings from being torn down and to require that developers set aside up to 25% of new housing units as affordable housing. Local residents will also be given priority to rent or buy 40% of those affordable units. The bill would allow communities with high proportions of low-income residents at least five years to draft their own plans for meeting the bill's requirements before it goes into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To appease officials concerned about a state-led, top-down approach, Wiener added a two-year grace period for municipalities to craft their own plans for allowing new development, so long as the plans achieve the same amount of housing under the bill and don't increase sprawl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was that change that helped Milpitas Councilmember Anthony Phan support the bill. Phan joined his fellow councilmembers last week in voting to endorse it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I applaud Sen. Wiener’s efforts to address many concerns raised about SB 50 in its previous iteration,\" Phan said in a statement. \"We have devoted significant long-range planning efforts towards transit-oriented development through our Transit Area Specific Plan, and we encourage other cities to embrace what SB 50 is trying to accomplish.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"affordable-housing\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether those changes will be enough to convince senators they have more constituents who support the bill than oppose is too close to call. The bill is expected to go before the Senate for a vote as early as Wednesday and must get through the house before the end of the week or it won't be able to move to the Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the bill passes the Senate, lawmakers will be able to make changes, though any changes will be negotiated through Wiener's office. It will have until the end of the legislative session in August to become law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it doesn't, the state will have to rethink how it plans to address escalating housing prices, increasing homelessness, and growing income inequality, said Matthew Lewis, a spokesman for California YIMBY and a proponent of the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Continuing with the status quo \"leads to a shrinking population of older, richer people that literally can't sustain itself,\" Lewis said. \"It leads to a catastrophe.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Local residents will also be given priority to rent or buy 40% of those affordable units. The bill would allow communities with high proportions of low-income residents at least five years to draft their own plans for meeting the bill's requirements before it goes into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To appease officials concerned about a state-led, top-down approach, Wiener added a two-year grace period for municipalities to craft their own plans for allowing new development, so long as the plans achieve the same amount of housing under the bill and don't increase sprawl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was that change that helped Milpitas Councilmember Anthony Phan support the bill. Phan joined his fellow councilmembers last week in voting to endorse it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I applaud Sen. Wiener’s efforts to address many concerns raised about SB 50 in its previous iteration,\" Phan said in a statement. \"We have devoted significant long-range planning efforts towards transit-oriented development through our Transit Area Specific Plan, and we encourage other cities to embrace what SB 50 is trying to accomplish.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
