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.",

But for now, Condon says, Corte Madera is producing more housing than the state requires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Berkeley and Corte Madera try to thread the needle between new state mandates and local interests, other cities are considering blunter instruments. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Redondo Beach placed a 10-and-a-half month-long moratorium on new mixed-use development projects. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Nils Nehrenheim, a city council member and local slow-growth activist, the ban has been in the works for years but now comes in the nick of time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thankfully, we’re starting this this month,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city attorney’s office and the Department of Community Development are looking into how the various housing bills would affect planning decisions. The goal, Nehrenheim said, is “to learn if we can mitigate some of these issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City leaders have also discussed pushing back against the state’s housing-production targets, though it isn’t yet clear how.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to have to start having more conversations with state legislators” about adjusting those targets, said Nehrenheim. “We’re all very concerned about the loss of local control -- no matter what side of the issue you stand on in terms of development.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local lawmakers often face tremendous pressure to block, stall or renegotiate unpopular projects. Soon they won’t have as much power to respond to that pressure -- but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, said Aaron Gomez, who sits on the City Council in San Luis Obispo. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Decisions about land use inevitably leave some constituents unhappy. Mandatory streamlining may allow local lawmakers to blame the state if faced with angry voters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do like the political cover of that,” Gomez said. “It just limits that conversation.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others have quietly stomached any threat to their authority over planning as the price of the help they need. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Philosophically, we don’t want the state to necessarily be encroaching on this part of the work that we do as a city,” said Jacky Morales-Ferrand, director of housing for the city of San Jose. But, she said, the city “wanted to create a path forward for some of those signature housing bills that we’ve been waiting on for a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief among them is \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1505\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one\u003c/a> that will effectively reverse a 2009 California court \u003ca href=\"http://caselaw.findlaw.com/ca-court-of-appeal/1077003.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">decision\u003c/a> that barred cities from forcing rental-property developers to offer a certain number of new units at below-market rates. Cities across the Bay Area, in Los Angeles and even in rural communities such as Tuolumne County are all now dusting off and re-examining their old inclusionary-housing ordinances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morales-Ferrand said she hopes the city will “turn on” the policy as soon as Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But for now, Condon says, Corte Madera is producing more housing than the state requires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Berkeley and Corte Madera try to thread the needle between new state mandates and local interests, other cities are considering blunter instruments. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Redondo Beach placed a 10-and-a-half month-long moratorium on new mixed-use development projects. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Nils Nehrenheim, a city council member and local slow-growth activist, the ban has been in the works for years but now comes in the nick of time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thankfully, we’re starting this this month,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city attorney’s office and the Department of Community Development are looking into how the various housing bills would affect planning decisions. The goal, Nehrenheim said, is “to learn if we can mitigate some of these issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City leaders have also discussed pushing back against the state’s housing-production targets, though it isn’t yet clear how.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to have to start having more conversations with state legislators” about adjusting those targets, said Nehrenheim. “We’re all very concerned about the loss of local control -- no matter what side of the issue you stand on in terms of development.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local lawmakers often face tremendous pressure to block, stall or renegotiate unpopular projects. Soon they won’t have as much power to respond to that pressure -- but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, said Aaron Gomez, who sits on the City Council in San Luis Obispo. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Decisions about land use inevitably leave some constituents unhappy. Mandatory streamlining may allow local lawmakers to blame the state if faced with angry voters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do like the political cover of that,” Gomez said. “It just limits that conversation.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others have quietly stomached any threat to their authority over planning as the price of the help they need. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Philosophically, we don’t want the state to necessarily be encroaching on this part of the work that we do as a city,” said Jacky Morales-Ferrand, director of housing for the city of San Jose. But, she said, the city “wanted to create a path forward for some of those signature housing bills that we’ve been waiting on for a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief among them is \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1505\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one\u003c/a> that will effectively reverse a 2009 California court \u003ca href=\"http://caselaw.findlaw.com/ca-court-of-appeal/1077003.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">decision\u003c/a> that barred cities from forcing rental-property developers to offer a certain number of new units at below-market rates.

He pays $1,650 a month in rent -- and he says it’s going up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the prices would come down, that would help so much,” Hunt said. “I work with more than 70 chefs in the kitchen and most of us live outside of the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly half of those polled described the ability to afford housing in their area to be an \"extremely serious\" problem. That feeling was most prevalent among Bay Area voters (65 percent) followed by those living Orange and San Diego counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statewide online survey asked 1,200 registered voters in late August and early September about their opinions on housing affordability in their region of the state, local rent control laws and whether they would support a multibillion-dollar bond to help fund housing development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll showed early support, about 51 percent, for a bond, which state lawmakers cleared the way for last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"2BH9Qr6K98XApdivuOCk1DabYywKZEh4\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB3\">SB 3\u003c/a>, if signed into law, would ask California voters in November 2018 to approve a $4 billion general obligation bond that would fund a home ownership program for veterans, grant money to cities building affordable housing projects in infill and around transit centers, and would fund low-income housing for farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If SB 3 passes, it will be a big boost to affordable housing development in the state,” said Dan Schoenholz, deputy director of community development for Fremont. “It is hard to say as an individual city how much would make its way to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities like Fremont are evaluating how \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/09/15/housing-bills-clear-toughest-hurdle-at-state-capitol/\">15 housing bills passed by the Legislature last week\u003c/a> will affect them. But one piece of legislation, AB 1505, could quickly come into play for cities like San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1505\">AB 1505\u003c/a> would allow cities to require developers building market-rate rental units to also include a certain percentage of affordable rentals. This is called an inclusionary housing ordinance. Many cities have adopted similar ordinances that apply to housing developments of for-sale units, but not rentals, because a 2009 court decision interpreted this to be a form of rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, some cities \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/government/o/PBN/OurOrganization/PlanningZoning/s/ImpactFee/index.htm\">such as Oakland\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjoseca.gov/index.aspx?nid=3979\">San Jose introduced impact fees\u003c/a> that charged developers building rental projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michele Byrd, housing and community and development director for Oakland, said the legislation could affect new rental projects that the city collected applications for last Friday from developers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m really excited about how many projects we got,” Byrd said. “We’re expecting 10 to 15 new affordable housing construction projects.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He pays $1,650 a month in rent -- and he says it’s going up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the prices would come down, that would help so much,” Hunt said. “I work with more than 70 chefs in the kitchen and most of us live outside of the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly half of those polled described the ability to afford housing in their area to be an \"extremely serious\" problem. That feeling was most prevalent among Bay Area voters (65 percent) followed by those living Orange and San Diego counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statewide online survey asked 1,200 registered voters in late August and early September about their opinions on housing affordability in their region of the state, local rent control laws and whether they would support a multibillion-dollar bond to help fund housing development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll showed early support, about 51 percent, for a bond, which state lawmakers cleared the way for last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB3\">SB 3\u003c/a>, if signed into law, would ask California voters in November 2018 to approve a $4 billion general obligation bond that would fund a home ownership program for veterans, grant money to cities building affordable housing projects in infill and around transit centers, and would fund low-income housing for farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If SB 3 passes, it will be a big boost to affordable housing development in the state,” said Dan Schoenholz, deputy director of community development for Fremont. “It is hard to say as an individual city how much would make its way to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities like Fremont are evaluating how \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/09/15/housing-bills-clear-toughest-hurdle-at-state-capitol/\">15 housing bills passed by the Legislature last week\u003c/a> will affect them.

This is called an inclusionary housing ordinance. Many cities have adopted similar ordinances that apply to housing developments of for-sale units, but not rentals, because a 2009 court decision interpreted this to be a form of rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, some cities \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/government/o/PBN/OurOrganization/PlanningZoning/s/ImpactFee/index.htm\">such as Oakland\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjoseca.gov/index.aspx?nid=3979\">San Jose introduced impact fees\u003c/a> that charged developers building rental projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michele Byrd, housing and community and development director for Oakland, said the legislation could affect new rental projects that the city collected applications for last Friday from developers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m really excited about how many projects we got,” Byrd said. “We’re expecting 10 to 15 new affordable housing construction projects.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Levine said this provision was critical to gaining his support for SB 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Assembly also passed a separate funding measure, SB 3, a $4 billion housing bond that will go before voters in November of 2018, if given final approval by the Senate and signed by the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bond passed the Assembly on a 54-20 vote, with Republicans Maienschein and Catharine Baker (R-Dublin) voting in favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the most part, Republicans shied away from supporting the bonds and fees, instead arguing that the elimination of regulatory roadblocks would spur more development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"KsGytEFCYz4ZoTzJwXJN6GeXZTeFs6Bi\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not talking about zoning,” said Devon Mathis (R-Visalia). “We’re talking about throwing more money at it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislation to ease restrictions on development also sailed to passage on Thursday night, needing only a majority vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/21/legislation-to-fast-track-more-housing-finds-opposition-in-marin/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">key streamlining measure\u003c/a> was Senate Bill 35, which would bypass certain local reviews for developments in cities that have fallen behind on regional housing goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents from both parties worried the bill would remove local control from important planning decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I might have agreed with [that argument] five years ago or ten years ago,” said Laura Friedman (D-Glendale). “But we’re in a really different climate right now.

A proposal by L.A. city officials to charge developers a so-called linkage fee to pay for affordable units has the widespread support of housing advocates who turned out by the dozens for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/08/23/74894/fee-on-new-construction-in-la-up-for-council-vote/\">recent hearing\u003c/a> to show their support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same advocates are pressing the city to adopt \"inclusionary zoning,\" which would force developers who build market-rate housing to designate a certain percentage of their units for subsidized housing. Santa Monica \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/07/31/74251/developers-in-santa-monica-face-experiment-in-prov/\">recently adopted\u003c/a> a version of inclusionary zoning and plans to monitor its impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing advocate Neil McGuffin of the Little Tokyo Service Center said that state and local leaders need to encourage affordable housing to prevent the displacement of longtime residents that's taken place in neighborhoods like Little Tokyo in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s been about a thousand units of housing developed and that housing is not affordable for people who are living or have lived in the community,\" McGuffin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abundant Housing agrees that funding affordable housing is critical but warns both a linkage fee and inclusionary zoning will only add to construction costs, and stop projects from getting built. The group would rather raise the money for affordable housing by increasing the city's real estate transfer fees or coax developers into constructing more below-market units in exchange for more building height through what’s called density bonuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want to provide a carrot to incentivize people to build as much affordable housing as possible and at the same time build as much market–rate housing as we can,\" Gaisford said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaisford acknowledged that density bonus programs could be improved.

The theme of the upcoming annual conference for the Southern California Association of Non Profit Housing, in fact, is \"YIMBY.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing activists forcefully came together earlier this year, partnering with labor unions to defeat a common foe at the ballot box. \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/03/08/69706/why-did-measure-s-lose-so-badly/\">Measure S\u003c/a> would have put a two-year freeze on major construction in L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For YIMBYs, it was a victory over self-proclaimed NIMBYs like Richard Close, president of the Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association. He acknowledged that the city has to fix its housing shortage, and that developers should focus on areas that want the new construction, such as the northeast part of the San Fernando Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The problem is developers like to build in Sherman Oaks and other nice areas of the city where they can get the highest profit,\" Close said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his work is to protect his community from the extra traffic and change in neighborhood character that often comes with new development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we see is people on the other side that have no regard for the current conditions in the community,\" Close said. \"They’re focused simply on a single issue, like more housing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite their loss on Measure S, NIMBYs like Close remain a powerful political force in L.A. that can kill or stall a project. Abundant Housing leader Gaisford knows that to match their strength, YIMBYs need more allies pushing for denser buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>After more than a week of negotiating how much affordable housing should be required in new market-rate housing developments, four San Francisco supervisors have struck a deal. The agreement will lower affordability requirements for developers in all but the city’s most rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Proposition C, which passed in June 2016, developers of market-rate housing are currently required to designate 25 percent of new rental units as affordable. The new deal will set the requirement at 18 percent in most neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisors Ahsha Safai and London Breed had advocated for 18 percent, while Jane Kim and Aaron Peskin pushed for 24 percent.

That’s roughly 3.6 million people stuck at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think of it this way: If “unlaunched” California millennials formed their own state, they would be entitled to more electoral votes than Connecticut, Iowa or Utah. If they formed their own city, it would be the third largest in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the trend appears to have accelerated over the past few years. Many researchers expected that the “boomerangers” of the recession would flee their parents’ domiciles once the economy recovered and the labor market started roaring again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California has its lowest unemployment rate since 2007 -- and millennials still aren’t moving out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would have thought and did think for a long time that as the labor market got better, more young adults would get jobs and the share of them living with their parents would start declining,” says Richard Fry, a senior researcher at the Pew Research Center. “But I’m increasingly thinking this is not a cyclical phenomenon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what exactly is keeping California’s millennials from breaking free of their parents? Part of the explanation is intuitive: California’s skyrocketing housing costs. But digging deeper into who exactly these stay-at-homers are, and how they’re different from younger adults from previous generations, shows other forces are also at play.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Wasn’t it common for previous generations of young Californians to live at home for a while?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>No -- not really.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least not compared to today, or to the rest of the country at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"//e.infogr.am/generation_unlaunched?src=embed\" title=\"Generation Unlaunched\" width=\"800\" height=\"733\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1980, when baby boomers were young adults, only 1 in 5 younger Californians lived with their parents. That fraction ticked up only marginally for more than two decades and roughly kept pace with what was happening in the rest of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since the turn of the millennium, the ranks of the stay-at-home have increased dramatically. Between 1980 and 2000, California saw about a 5 percentage point increase in its share of young people living at home. Between 2000 and 2015, that percentage grew by 14 points, outpacing the trend in the rest of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How bad is it compared to other states?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Aging California parents and their adult children can take some solace in the fact that many of their out-of-state relatives are experiencing the same type of overcrowded household they are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has the sixth-highest rate of millennial stay-at-homers in the country. But we’re not close to touching New Jersey, where 47 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds live with mom and/or dad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-DdTZX\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/DdTZX/2/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitallowfullscreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\" oallowfullscreen=\"oallowfullscreen\" msallowfullscreen=\"msallowfullscreen\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In keeping with what we know about \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/the-withering-california-dreamby-the-numbers/\">income mobility patterns\u003c/a> across the U.S., young people in the “plains states” tend to live more independently. In North Dakota, an astonishingly low 14 percent of young people live at home. California does the worst out of all its West Coast neighbors, leading Arizona, Oregon, Washington and Nevada by a significant margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Homebound millennials are working -- they’re just not making enough money\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Let’s focus on older California millennials still living at home -- those in the 25-to-34 age range, who conceivably have had more time to complete schooling and enter the workforce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a CALmatters analysis of \u003ca href=\"https://usa.ipums.org/usa/\">American Community Survey data\u003c/a>, about 1 in 4 Californians age 25-to-34 live with their parents -- more than 1.3 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of this population is working or in school -- most are not lounging around idly. About 70 percent of older California millennials living with parents reported being employed in 2015. About 20 percent also report being in school (those activities are not mutually exclusive). In fact, significantly more of these Californians are enrolled in school than their counterparts elsewhere in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"//e.infogr.am/employment-598438?src=embed\" title=\"Employment\" width=\"550\" height=\"717\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem lies in how much money these older millennials make. The median earned income for an older millennial living at home is around $21,000 (among those with positive earnings). That’s not chump change, and it’s slightly more than what older millennials who live at home elsewhere in the country make (around $20,000).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not a lot, and it’s less than what younger people from previous generations of Californians used to earn. In inflation-adjusted dollars, median earnings for full-time working young adult Californians have dropped by 11 percent since 1990. That follows a national pattern of wage stagnation for younger Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And leaner earnings are especially problematic for younger Californians because ...\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Most millennials living with their parents are in pricier parts of the state\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>More than 40 percent of all older California millennials living with their parents are in the greater Los Angeles metro area, one of the highest-cost rental markets in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another 10 percent are in the San Francisco-Hayward-Oakland area. According to the apartment rental listing site Zumper, a median one-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles goes for $2,090 a month, and in Oakland a one-bedroom goes for $2,060. While those prices are on the higher side of median estimates, both easily surpass the monthly take-home of the typical millennial at home with mom and dad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, even more affordable parts of the state with concentrated poverty see a large number of stay-at-homers. While sample size constraints make precise estimates unreliable, the El Centro metro area -- where a quarter of the population fall below the poverty line -- saw roughly 40 percent of its 25-to-34-year-olds live at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>But there’s more at play than just housing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s difficult to disentangle the decision to live at home from other major life choices -- especially marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young people with a spouse are much more likely to live away from home than the unmarried. And the proportion of young unmarried Californians, much like elsewhere in the country, has grown significantly over the decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"//e.infogr.am/never_married-036?src=embed\" title=\"Percent of never-married 18 to 34-year-olds\" width=\"550\" height=\"656\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But are young people postponing marriage because they’re living at home, or are they living at home because they’re postponing marriage? It’s a chicken-and-egg question for demographers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With one demographic factor you can explain pretty much the entire increase in young adults living at home—marriage,” says Fry, the Pew researcher. “But that’s not really satisfactory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The value of education in the workforce is also an important factor. Completing at least four years of college gives you an 83 percent chance of avoiding living with your parents in your late 20s and early 30s, about 8 percentage points higher than if you complete less education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So even if legislators were magically able to reduce housing costs overnight, it will still be difficult for single, young adults with lower education levels to strike out on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Many researchers expected that the “boomerangers” of the recession would flee their parents’ domiciles once the economy recovered and the labor market started roaring again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California has its lowest unemployment rate since 2007 -- and millennials still aren’t moving out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would have thought and did think for a long time that as the labor market got better, more young adults would get jobs and the share of them living with their parents would start declining,” says Richard Fry, a senior researcher at the Pew Research Center. “But I’m increasingly thinking this is not a cyclical phenomenon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what exactly is keeping California’s millennials from breaking free of their parents? Part of the explanation is intuitive: California’s skyrocketing housing costs. But digging deeper into who exactly these stay-at-homers are, and how they’re different from younger adults from previous generations, shows other forces are also at play.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Wasn’t it common for previous generations of young Californians to live at home for a while?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>No -- not really.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least not compared to today, or to the rest of the country at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"//e.infogr.am/generation_unlaunched?src=embed\" title=\"Generation Unlaunched\" width=\"800\" height=\"733\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1980, when baby boomers were young adults, only 1 in 5 younger Californians lived with their parents. That fraction ticked up only marginally for more than two decades and roughly kept pace with what was happening in the rest of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since the turn of the millennium, the ranks of the stay-at-home have increased dramatically. Between 1980 and 2000, California saw about a 5 percentage point increase in its share of young people living at home. Between 2000 and 2015, that percentage grew by 14 points, outpacing the trend in the rest of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How bad is it compared to other states?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Aging California parents and their adult children can take some solace in the fact that many of their out-of-state relatives are experiencing the same type of overcrowded household they are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has the sixth-highest rate of millennial stay-at-homers in the country. But we’re not close to touching New Jersey, where 47 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds live with mom and/or dad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-DdTZX\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/DdTZX/2/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitallowfullscreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\" oallowfullscreen=\"oallowfullscreen\" msallowfullscreen=\"msallowfullscreen\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In keeping with what we know about \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/the-withering-california-dreamby-the-numbers/\">income mobility patterns\u003c/a> across the U.S., young people in the “plains states” tend to live more independently. In North Dakota, an astonishingly low 14 percent of young people live at home. California does the worst out of all its West Coast neighbors, leading Arizona, Oregon, Washington and Nevada by a significant margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Homebound millennials are working -- they’re just not making enough money\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Let’s focus on older California millennials still living at home -- those in the 25-to-34 age range, who conceivably have had more time to complete schooling and enter the workforce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a CALmatters analysis of \u003ca href=\"https://usa.ipums.org/usa/\">American Community Survey data\u003c/a>, about 1 in 4 Californians age 25-to-34 live with their parents -- more than 1.3 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of this population is working or in school -- most are not lounging around idly. About 70 percent of older California millennials living with parents reported being employed in 2015. About 20 percent also report being in school (those activities are not mutually exclusive). In fact, significantly more of these Californians are enrolled in school than their counterparts elsewhere in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"//e.infogr.am/employment-598438?src=embed\" title=\"Employment\" width=\"550\" height=\"717\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem lies in how much money these older millennials make. The median earned income for an older millennial living at home is around $21,000 (among those with positive earnings). That’s not chump change, and it’s slightly more than what older millennials who live at home elsewhere in the country make (around $20,000).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not a lot, and it’s less than what younger people from previous generations of Californians used to earn. In inflation-adjusted dollars, median earnings for full-time working young adult Californians have dropped by 11 percent since 1990. That follows a national pattern of wage stagnation for younger Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And leaner earnings are especially problematic for younger Californians because ...\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Most millennials living with their parents are in pricier parts of the state\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>More than 40 percent of all older California millennials living with their parents are in the greater Los Angeles metro area, one of the highest-cost rental markets in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another 10 percent are in the San Francisco-Hayward-Oakland area. According to the apartment rental listing site Zumper, a median one-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles goes for $2,090 a month, and in Oakland a one-bedroom goes for $2,060. While those prices are on the higher side of median estimates, both easily surpass the monthly take-home of the typical millennial at home with mom and dad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, even more affordable parts of the state with concentrated poverty see a large number of stay-at-homers. While sample size constraints make precise estimates unreliable, the El Centro metro area -- where a quarter of the population fall below the poverty line -- saw roughly 40 percent of its 25-to-34-year-olds live at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>But there’s more at play than just housing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s difficult to disentangle the decision to live at home from other major life choices -- especially marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young people with a spouse are much more likely to live away from home than the unmarried. And the proportion of young unmarried Californians, much like elsewhere in the country, has grown significantly over the decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"//e.infogr.am/never_married-036?src=embed\" title=\"Percent of never-married 18 to 34-year-olds\" width=\"550\" height=\"656\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But are young people postponing marriage because they’re living at home, or are they living at home because they’re postponing marriage? It’s a chicken-and-egg question for demographers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With one demographic factor you can explain pretty much the entire increase in young adults living at home—marriage,” says Fry, the Pew researcher. “But that’s not really satisfactory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The value of education in the workforce is also an important factor. Completing at least four years of college gives you an 83 percent chance of avoiding living with your parents in your late 20s and early 30s, about 8 percentage points higher than if you complete less education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So even if legislators were magically able to reduce housing costs overnight, it will still be difficult for single, young adults with lower education levels to strike out on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
