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

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>[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hen Norma Sandoval of Merced looks at her baby son Alex, and really stares into his eyes, she sees a wise, old man. His eyebrows have this way of zigging and then zagging, he sucks his lips into his mouth as if he is pondering the universe. He makes Sandoval laugh, because really, what could a four-month old be contemplating? For Sandoval, Alex is the best thing in her life, which is otherwise full of challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many first-time moms, Sandoval has been on a steep learning curve caring for Alex. She gets a lot of help from her own mother, who has eight other children, and from the child care workers who care for Alex while she finishes high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval’s mother was a teen when she had her, and despite swearing she wouldn’t do the same, here she is at 17 with a four-month old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would see all these mothers so young and I would be like, oh my god they’re so stupid, how did they get pregnant so early,” Sandoval said. She laughed and added, “and then I got pregnant and now I’m like them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval knows what everyone thinks of her being a teen mom, but she is resolute — she wants the best for her baby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His mom’s determination might mean Alex will have a very bright future ahead of him, but right now he is part of a statistic that doesn’t bode well for his life chances: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kidsdata.org/blog/?p=8727\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">43 percent of all children under three years-old in Merced county live in poverty\u003c/a>. Sandoval doesn’t know a single person her age who isn’t struggling to make ends meet. It’s just how life is, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poverty has long been a political football, and the current polarized climate lays bare the tussle. At one end, child poverty has been called a “moral outrage” by California’s progressive governor, Gavin Newsom, who has vowed to end it. At the other end of the political spectrum, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson has said poverty is a “state of mind,” echoing the Trump administration position that government aid is not the answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost two decades ago, Norma Sandoval was herself born into an impoverished family. Her father, an immigrant from Mexico, went off daily to work the fields and her mother ran an ad-hoc childcare service out of their tiny apartment, mostly to help other families so parents could go work in the fields while she looked after the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"The Starting Blocks Series\" tag=\"starting-blocks\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite both her parents working full-time much of her life, in her 17 years, Sandoval nor her parents have been able to climb above their challenging economic circumstances. So, like her mother before her, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kidsdata.org/PovertyDeeperLook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">285,162 parents statewide\u003c/a>, she too now raises her baby while living below the federal poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval has all the usual concerns and anxieties of a 17-year-old, but on a recent Wednesday morning she was particularly worried about how many times Alex had pooped. Her brow was deeply creased as she discussed what to do with Emily Maltva, the lead teacher at the child development center that sits on the campus of Yosemite High School where Sandoval is a junior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He pooped like twice,” Sandoval told Maltva. “I changed him and then like 10 minutes later he pooped again.” Maltva reassured her that this was completely normal for a baby. Then Sandoval confessed that it wasn’t really the pooping that worried her. Diapers are expensive. Sandoval’s brow furrowed further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have like that money or nothing,” she confessed. “But I don’t think money makes you a good mother or not,” she said, declaring that she was a very good mother for Alex. Not having money just makes things harder, Sandoval said as she prepared Alex for the half-hour trudge to her boyfriend’s parents’ apartment where they are currently living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Child poverty in California is definitely a serious problem,” said Sara Kimberlin, senior policy analyst with the California Budget and Policy Center (CBPC).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a problem that has gotten steadily worse over the years as the numbers of babies and children living in poverty has increased. The numbers are stark. One in five babies and toddlers in California were born into poverty in the last few years. That’s down from five years ago when one quarter of all babies statewide lived below the federal poverty line. In some places it is much higher, like Alex’s home, in Merced County, and the counties of Glenn, Colusa, Trinity and Tehama, where almost half of all babies born start life in impoverished families.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is California’s Housing Crisis to Blame?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The earliest data on early childhood poverty came soon after standards for measuring poverty were first developed in the 1960s. By 1970 — one of the first years this data for young children was collected — about 14 percent of kids under five were poor in California. That number climbed steadily over the years. In 2012 it was 26 percent of all children statewide, according to Census and American Community Survey data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recent studies, like one from the San Francisco-based Center for the Next Generation, highlight the long-term economic threat posed by California’s high rates of childhood poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how did the baby poverty numbers get so high? The answer has little to do with babies themselves.

So she leans on her family, her unofficial safety net. She doesn’t pay rent to her boyfriend’s parents, and her own parents buy her extra food and the baby’s diapers, which add up to a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the safety net that holds parents like Sandoval is working, it’s also a byzantine system to navigate. It’s something that Monika Grasley, president of a nonprofit community organization in Merced called Lifeline CDC, sees parents struggle with every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t understand why we have food stamps that allow us to buy junk food but do not provide diapers, it makes no sense to me,” Grasley said. “So what it encourages parents to do is sell their food stamps so they can purchase diapers for their babies.” And with less resources, parents tend to choose the cheapest food option for their children, which oftentimes have little nutritional value, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grasley said there are also many issues that impoverished families deal with for which government help is limited or nonexistent. Many that she works with don’t have transportation. They struggle to find child care, and some don’t even have a cell phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all about how do I survive, not how do I thrive,” Grasley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Norma Sandoval herself grew up with very little. But she wants better for her baby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Slowly slowly we’re going to learn, slowly we’re going to get that help that we need to get a better life for us and our kids,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, on top of everything else she is juggling, Sandoval shows up to Yosemite High School which has a special program for teen moms like her. She’s got big dreams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My plan is to finish high school, go to college and be a nurse,” Sandoval said. She admits before getting pregnant she hated school and used to ditch classes often. Now she wouldn’t do that, “because I have a baby and I want a better life for him and me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: This story is part of KQED’s series \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/starting-blocks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Starting Blocks\u003c/a>, which is examining the hurdles faced by California’s kids, especially those in low income families.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Deepa Fernandes is an Early Childhood reporting fellow at Pacific Oaks College, which is funded in part by First 5 LA.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

At one end, child poverty has been called a “moral outrage” by California’s progressive governor, Gavin Newsom, who has vowed to end it.

So, like her mother before her, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kidsdata.org/PovertyDeeperLook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">285,162 parents statewide\u003c/a>, she too now raises her baby while living below the federal poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval has all the usual concerns and anxieties of a 17-year-old, but on a recent Wednesday morning she was particularly worried about how many times Alex had pooped. Her brow was deeply creased as she discussed what to do with Emily Maltva, the lead teacher at the child development center that sits on the campus of Yosemite High School where Sandoval is a junior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He pooped like twice,” Sandoval told Maltva. “I changed him and then like 10 minutes later he pooped again.” Maltva reassured her that this was completely normal for a baby. Then Sandoval confessed that it wasn’t really the pooping that worried her. Diapers are expensive. Sandoval’s brow furrowed further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have like that money or nothing,” she confessed. “But I don’t think money makes you a good mother or not,” she said, declaring that she was a very good mother for Alex. Not having money just makes things harder, Sandoval said as she prepared Alex for the half-hour trudge to her boyfriend’s parents’ apartment where they are currently living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Child poverty in California is definitely a serious problem,” said Sara Kimberlin, senior policy analyst with the California Budget and Policy Center (CBPC).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a problem that has gotten steadily worse over the years as the numbers of babies and children living in poverty has increased. The numbers are stark. One in five babies and toddlers in California were born into poverty in the last few years. That’s down from five years ago when one quarter of all babies statewide lived below the federal poverty line. In some places it is much higher, like Alex’s home, in Merced County, and the counties of Glenn, Colusa, Trinity and Tehama, where almost half of all babies born start life in impoverished families.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is California’s Housing Crisis to Blame?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The earliest data on early childhood poverty came soon after standards for measuring poverty were first developed in the 1960s. By 1970 — one of the first years this data for young children was collected — about 14 percent of kids under five were poor in California. That number climbed steadily over the years. In 2012 it was 26 percent of all children statewide, according to Census and American Community Survey data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recent studies, like one from the San Francisco-based Center for the Next Generation, highlight the long-term economic threat posed by California’s high rates of childhood poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how did the baby poverty numbers get so high? The answer has little to do with babies themselves. While the cost of diapers and infant formula has risen, Kimberlin points to macro-economic factors that have seen more families fall below the poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CBPC’s Kimberlin said California’s rising housing costs have perhaps been the biggest factor in pushing more families out from self sufficiency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From 2006 to 2016, rents in California rose by about three times as much median annual earnings for a full-time worker,” said Kimberlin. “That just creates a long-term problem where more and more families find themselves squeezed trying to cover their basic costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis hit, the number of California children under two-years-old in poverty climbed steeply, Kimberlin said. “The great recession definitely made things worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737459\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737459\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Alex-And-Mom-Mobile-800x544.jpg\" alt=\"Alex Sandoval, age four months, begins his day at a child care center with his mom, Norma, playing with one of his favorite toys.

Her child care is also free, paid to her high school child care center by the state of California. But she’s one of the lucky ones. \u003ca href=\"https://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/1-2-million-california-children-eligible-subsidized-child-care-not-receive-services-state-programs-2015/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to a 2016 report\u003c/a> from the California Budget and Policy Center, six out of seven parents eligible for child care subsidies did not get them, and the waiting list can be more than 1 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think if I didn’t have child care I wouldn’t make it,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737401\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737401\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-800x668.jpg\" alt=\"Merced County resident Norma Sandoval holds her four-month-old son, Alex.\" width=\"800\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-800x668.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-160x134.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-1020x852.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-1200x1003.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Merced County resident Norma Sandoval holds her four-month-old son, Alex. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite the subsidies she gets, Sandoval still can’t buy all the basics for her baby. So she leans on her family, her unofficial safety net. She doesn’t pay rent to her boyfriend’s parents, and her own parents buy her extra food and the baby’s diapers, which add up to a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the safety net that holds parents like Sandoval is working, it’s also a byzantine system to navigate. It’s something that Monika Grasley, president of a nonprofit community organization in Merced called Lifeline CDC, sees parents struggle with every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t understand why we have food stamps that allow us to buy junk food but do not provide diapers, it makes no sense to me,” Grasley said. “So what it encourages parents to do is sell their food stamps so they can purchase diapers for their babies.” And with less resources, parents tend to choose the cheapest food option for their children, which oftentimes have little nutritional value, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grasley said there are also many issues that impoverished families deal with for which government help is limited or nonexistent. Many that she works with don’t have transportation. They struggle to find child care, and some don’t even have a cell phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all about how do I survive, not how do I thrive,” Grasley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Norma Sandoval herself grew up with very little. But she wants better for her baby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Slowly slowly we’re going to learn, slowly we’re going to get that help that we need to get a better life for us and our kids,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, on top of everything else she is juggling, Sandoval shows up to Yosemite High School which has a special program for teen moms like her. She’s got big dreams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My plan is to finish high school, go to college and be a nurse,” Sandoval said. She admits before getting pregnant she hated school and used to ditch classes often. Now she wouldn’t do that, “because I have a baby and I want a better life for him and me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: This story is part of KQED’s series \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/starting-blocks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Starting Blocks\u003c/a>, which is examining the hurdles faced by California’s kids, especially those in low income families.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And 44 percent say they’re considering leaving the area in the next few years. Some 6 percent say they’ve had it and plan to depart the region this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheer expense of getting by in the Bay Area topped the list of reasons residents see life here getting tougher, with 83 percent citing the cost of housing as an “extremely serious” or “very serious” problem, and 81 percent pointing to the cost of living as a major problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also high on the list of grievances were two longstanding issues: homelessness, which 79 percent named as extremely or very serious; and traffic congestion, cited by 76 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll, produced by the \u003ca href=\"https://svlg.org/bay-area-voters-ready-to-pull-out-pocketbooks-to-solve-traffic-problems-but-not-as-likely-when-it-comes-to-the-housing-crisis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silicon Valley Leadership Group\u003c/a> and Bay Area News Group, surveyed more than 1,500 people in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We should all be concerned because that means we’re going to have a brain drain of talent and families that contribute to our communities that have simply given up and are going away,” said Carl Guardino, president and CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if you can afford a home, it’s so often not anywhere near your job or your school or where you’re trying to get. People are so sick of it that they’re willing to make a U-turn right out of the area,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Discontent crossed all political, racial, ethnic, geographic and socioeconomic divides, according to the survey. But African-Americans (71 percent), renters (58 percent) and people younger than 40 (55 percent) were the most likely to say they were looking to move out of the Bay Area in coming years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Willingness to Pay for Transportation Solutions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second survey tested sentiments about two other issues: voters’ willingness to tax themselves further to pay for major transportation infrastructure projects and whether they’d be willing to get behind a complex package to address the region’s housing affordability crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About two-thirds of the 1,900 respondents — this time from all nine Bay Area counties — said they’d support some major funding initiative to pay for a “world-class” transit system, modernizing highways and investing in bike and pedestrian pathways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey found that 71 percent of respondents asked about a 1-cent regional sales tax for transportation said they’d support the levy; 64 percent backed the idea of a $50 billion bond measure to be paid for by a new tax on businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of a new regional transportation levy — which backers have been quietly promoting for the past 15 months or so as a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11637275/you-say-you-want-a-new-bridge-or-2nd-bart-tube-heres-how-you-might-pay-for-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mega-measure\u003c/a>” for a future ballot — won large margins of support from all age groups, from both renters and homeowners, and Democratic and independent voters. Among Republican respondents, 52 percent opposed a levy and 38 percent were in favor of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were some regional variations in the response, too, with the most populous Bay Area counties all giving an enthusiastic thumbs up to a transportation tax. The survey found 79 percent of San Francisco voters supported the idea, with 76 percent support in Alameda County, 68 percent in San Mateo and 66 percent in Santa Clara. Just 46 percent of respondents in Napa County and 49 percent in Solano County supported a new tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Silicon Valley Leadership Group’s Guardino said his organization — along with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bayareacouncil.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bay Area Council\u003c/a>, which represents more than 300 businesses, public agencies and media companies, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SPUR\u003c/a>, a regional urban planning group — is responding to Los Angeles County’s success in passing a 1-cent sales tax measure to fund major transportation initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had L.A. envy in that Los Angeles in 2016 passed a permanent 1-cent sales tax that will generate around $120 billion for transit in its first couple decades,” he said. “So we continue to see if that’s possible. … It’s pretty darn clear that the climate seems right, so it’s time to get to work and find out specifically what voters are willing to invest in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Limited Support for Regional Housing Plan\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While voters acknowledged the region’s crippling housing costs in the first of the new surveys, the second poll found a lukewarm response to an ambitious regional housing plan known as the \u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/our-work/plans-projects/casa-committee-house-bay-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CASA Compact\u003c/a>. It includes an array of housing proposals, like a cap on rent increases and mandates for more dense housing around transit, and it would require approval from the state Legislature, not voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the poll asked voters if they would support the “proposed wide-ranging plan to include revised development rules to make it easier to build housing, a region-wide rent cap and tighter limits on evictions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just 43 percent of respondents supported the plan, with 42 percent opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What our pollster was trying to do was to best describe the CASA compact to find out how taxpayers feel,” Guardino said. “Over the months ahead, voters will inform us, rather than the other way around, on what they’re willing to tax themselves on. They’ll tell us if it’s a regional transportation measure or steps to address our housing crisis, or neither, or both.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Specific parts of the CASA plan would need voter approval — namely, any tax that would fund a proposed regional housing agency. That agency would use the money to provide emergency rent assistance to tenants, help cities plan for development and purchase land for affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Covarrubias, CEO of the real estate developer TMG Partners and a co-chair of the CASA coalition, said it would have made more sense to only poll voters on the housing ideas that could end up on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would argue the poll didn’t ask the right question or was somewhat misleading,” he said. “It’s not that the Bay Area doesn’t support housing; in fact it does. It also supports transportation. Pitting them against each other, I think, is the wrong way to look at the regional challenges we have.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Some 6 percent say they’ve had it and plan to depart the region this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheer expense of getting by in the Bay Area topped the list of reasons residents see life here getting tougher, with 83 percent citing the cost of housing as an “extremely serious” or “very serious” problem, and 81 percent pointing to the cost of living as a major problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also high on the list of grievances were two longstanding issues: homelessness, which 79 percent named as extremely or very serious; and traffic congestion, cited by 76 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll, produced by the \u003ca href=\"https://svlg.org/bay-area-voters-ready-to-pull-out-pocketbooks-to-solve-traffic-problems-but-not-as-likely-when-it-comes-to-the-housing-crisis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silicon Valley Leadership Group\u003c/a> and Bay Area News Group, surveyed more than 1,500 people in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

People are so sick of it that they’re willing to make a U-turn right out of the area,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Discontent crossed all political, racial, ethnic, geographic and socioeconomic divides, according to the survey. But African-Americans (71 percent), renters (58 percent) and people younger than 40 (55 percent) were the most likely to say they were looking to move out of the Bay Area in coming years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Willingness to Pay for Transportation Solutions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second survey tested sentiments about two other issues: voters’ willingness to tax themselves further to pay for major transportation infrastructure projects and whether they’d be willing to get behind a complex package to address the region’s housing affordability crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About two-thirds of the 1,900 respondents — this time from all nine Bay Area counties — said they’d support some major funding initiative to pay for a “world-class” transit system, modernizing highways and investing in bike and pedestrian pathways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey found that 71 percent of respondents asked about a 1-cent regional sales tax for transportation said they’d support the levy; 64 percent backed the idea of a $50 billion bond measure to be paid for by a new tax on businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of a new regional transportation levy — which backers have been quietly promoting for the past 15 months or so as a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11637275/you-say-you-want-a-new-bridge-or-2nd-bart-tube-heres-how-you-might-pay-for-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mega-measure\u003c/a>” for a future ballot — won large margins of support from all age groups, from both renters and homeowners, and Democratic and independent voters. Among Republican respondents, 52 percent opposed a levy and 38 percent were in favor of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were some regional variations in the response, too, with the most populous Bay Area counties all giving an enthusiastic thumbs up to a transportation tax. The survey found 79 percent of San Francisco voters supported the idea, with 76 percent support in Alameda County, 68 percent in San Mateo and 66 percent in Santa Clara. Just 46 percent of respondents in Napa County and 49 percent in Solano County supported a new tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Silicon Valley Leadership Group’s Guardino said his organization — along with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bayareacouncil.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bay Area Council\u003c/a>, which represents more than 300 businesses, public agencies and media companies, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SPUR\u003c/a>, a regional urban planning group — is responding to Los Angeles County’s success in passing a 1-cent sales tax measure to fund major transportation initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had L.A. envy in that Los Angeles in 2016 passed a permanent 1-cent sales tax that will generate around $120 billion for transit in its first couple decades,” he said. “So we continue to see if that’s possible. … It’s pretty darn clear that the climate seems right, so it’s time to get to work and find out specifically what voters are willing to invest in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Limited Support for Regional Housing Plan\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While voters acknowledged the region’s crippling housing costs in the first of the new surveys, the second poll found a lukewarm response to an ambitious regional housing plan known as the \u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/our-work/plans-projects/casa-committee-house-bay-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CASA Compact\u003c/a>. It includes an array of housing proposals, like a cap on rent increases and mandates for more dense housing around transit, and it would require approval from the state Legislature, not voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the poll asked voters if they would support the “proposed wide-ranging plan to include revised development rules to make it easier to build housing, a region-wide rent cap and tighter limits on evictions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just 43 percent of respondents supported the plan, with 42 percent opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What our pollster was trying to do was to best describe the CASA compact to find out how taxpayers feel,” Guardino said. “Over the months ahead, voters will inform us, rather than the other way around, on what they’re willing to tax themselves on. They’ll tell us if it’s a regional transportation measure or steps to address our housing crisis, or neither, or both.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Specific parts of the CASA plan would need voter approval — namely, any tax that would fund a proposed regional housing agency. That agency would use the money to provide emergency rent assistance to tenants, help cities plan for development and purchase land for affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Covarrubias, CEO of the real estate developer TMG Partners and a co-chair of the CASA coalition, said it would have made more sense to only poll voters on the housing ideas that could end up on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As a city of \u003ca href=\"https://www.scag.ca.gov/Documents/SantaMonica.pdf\">70 percent renters\u003c/a>, it needed to protect local housing stock while also allowing residents to take advantage of new economic opportunities through home-sharing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constance Farrell, public information officer for Santa Monica, said, “We wanted to strike a balance, not turning neighborhoods into de facto hotels.

In 2016, Airbnb and HomeAway \u003ca href=\"https://www.santamonica.gov/press/2018/03/13/city-of-santa-monica-prevails-against-airbnb-and-homeaway\">filed a lawsuit \u003c/a>against the city to stop the home-sharing ordinance from taking effect, but in 2018 the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California ruled in favor of Santa Monica on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>S.F.: Friendlier Than Most to Short-Term Rentals\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>San Francisco, for its part, didn’t start regulating short-term rentals until 2015. Up until then, short-term rentals were technically illegal, but the city didn’t enforce this until around 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the macro level, it’s about housing supply and housing affordability, and then on the neighborhood level, it’s about making sure there’s regulations to help ensure quality of life for residents,” said Kevin Guy, director of the \u003ca href=\"https://shorttermrentals.sfgov.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Office of Short-Term Rentals.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"California's Affordable Housing Crisis\" tag=\"affordable-housing\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, in response to complaints from residents, legislation was passed to force hosts to register with the city. The new law also required hosts to live in their rentals at least part-time, and put a limit (90 days) on the number of nights a home could be rented out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, San Francisco maintains a list of all registered hosts, and works with Airbnb and VRBO to ensure hosts stay compliant. Compared to South Lake Tahoe and Santa Monica, however, San Francisco is still much friendlier toward short-term rentals, with longer limits on the number of nights hosts can rent out their rooms when they’re not present, and no restrictions on renting out rooms when they are.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Palm Springs: Tourists Welcome, Within Limits\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Palm Springs, which has a long history of tourism, placed minor restrictions on short-term rentals in April 2017. Its \u003ca href=\"http://www.palmspringsca.gov/government/departments/vacation-rentals/ordinance-no-1918-tool-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vacation Rental Ordinance No. 1918\u003c/a> states that hosts must have an in-person “meet and greet” with guests in the first 24 hours of their stay; it also instituted a complaint hotline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The city has had to make adjustments so they can encourage the increased tourism, without sacrificing the quality of life for the people who reside here full-time,” a Vacation Rental staff member said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2018, a ballot initiative called Measure C threatened to make short-term rentals in single-family residential zones illegal, but \u003ca href=\"http://www.palmspringsca.gov/government/election-info\">70.06 percent of voters decided against it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>South Lake Tahoe: Strict and Getting Stricter\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Cities like Santa Monica and San Francisco can afford to regulate short-term rentals tightly, because they have income streams from industries other than tourism. That’s not as true in South Lake Tahoe, where a recent ballot measure to more or less ban short-term rentals could have far-reaching consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2017, the city cracked down on short-term rentals, putting a cap on the number of permits that would be handed out, increasing fines and registration fees, and adding three enforcement officers to help keep the rental market in check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before these changes could take effect, however, a group of residents put \u003ca href=\"https://www.rgj.com/story/money/business/2019/01/14/south-lake-tahoe-airbnb-ban-measure-t-lawsuit/2549226002/\">Measure T on the ballot\u003c/a>, to make all short-term rentals in residential areas illegal (though full-time residents can still rent out their homes for a maximum of 30 days a year). When it passed by just 58 votes, it effectively made 1,400 short-term rentals in residential areas illegal overnight, though the decision is still being litigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Lake Tahoe’s enforcement officers are paid for through fines from short-term rental violations. If Measure T is implemented, those officers may lose their jobs, the city staff member said. While short-term rentals might be completely illegal, at least in residential areas, there could be no one to enforce the ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Where Do We Go From Here\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Today, the future of short-term rentals is still uncertain, but it seems unlikely that they’ll ever totally go away. Even cities like Palo Alto, where short-term rentals are technically illegal, seem hesitant to enforce the regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because many short-term rentals — both illegal and not — pay a transient occupancy tax. As that revenue becomes an established part of the city’s income, and as residents depend more and more on the money from renting out their rooms, more cities will likely be forced to strike a balance between letting short-term rentals operate, and regulating them in a sustainable way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

When it passed by just 58 votes, it effectively made 1,400 short-term rentals in residential areas illegal overnight, though the decision is still being litigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Lake Tahoe’s enforcement officers are paid for through fines from short-term rental violations. If Measure T is implemented, those officers may lose their jobs, the city staff member said. While short-term rentals might be completely illegal, at least in residential areas, there could be no one to enforce the ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Where Do We Go From Here\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Today, the future of short-term rentals is still uncertain, but it seems unlikely that they’ll ever totally go away. Even cities like Palo Alto, where short-term rentals are technically illegal, seem hesitant to enforce the regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because many short-term rentals — both illegal and not — pay a transient occupancy tax. As that revenue becomes an established part of the city’s income, and as residents depend more and more on the money from renting out their rooms, more cities will likely be forced to strike a balance between letting short-term rentals operate, and regulating them in a sustainable way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And when the Camp Fire happened, the curriculum was re-designed to cater to Paradise and surrounding burnt-out towns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Zanghi, it’s been a challenge trying to redesign proposals that preserve Paradise’s rural character.

At some cantankerous city council meetings, fire survivors have argued with officials over whether they could put campers on burnt-out properties and how FEMA resources will be allocated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students’ instructor, Stacey White, said those are tough conversations that have to happen. But what’s going on here is separate. These kids can take the time to take a 30,000 foot view of the rebuilding project and hopefully inspire a little hope for the community amid all the other setbacks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But [these] students have an ability to step back and think, ‘what if we did this right?’,” White said. “They’re focused on affordability, resiliency and permanence; really investing in the place so we don’t relive this again in ten years.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her class will soon hand over their plans to the town.

And when the Camp Fire happened, the curriculum was re-designed to cater to Paradise and surrounding burnt-out towns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Zanghi, it’s been a challenge trying to redesign proposals that preserve Paradise’s rural character. But he said it’s a misnomer that rebuilding or redeveloping a mountain community like this will result in a more expensive town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really important to have architecture be more than just luxury high rises,” Zanghi said. “It should be things that help a community grow and flourish.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affordability and gentrification are some of the more heated topics emerging so far in the town’s preliminary discussions. At some cantankerous city council meetings, fire survivors have argued with officials over whether they could put campers on burnt-out properties and how FEMA resources will be allocated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students’ instructor, Stacey White, said those are tough conversations that have to happen. But what’s going on here is separate. These kids can take the time to take a 30,000 foot view of the rebuilding project and hopefully inspire a little hope for the community amid all the other setbacks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But [these] students have an ability to step back and think, ‘what if we did this right?’,” White said. “They’re focused on affordability, resiliency and permanence; really investing in the place so we don’t relive this again in ten years.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
