"bio": "Sandhya Dirks was the race and equity reporter at KQED. She approaches race and equity not as a beat, but as a fundamental lens for all investigative and explanatory reporting.\r\n\r\nSandhya covered policing, housing, social justice movements, and the shifting demographics of cities and suburbs.\r\n\r\nShe was the creator and co-host of the podcast American Suburb, about the transformation of suburbia into the most diverse space in American life. She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

I think this is enough, let’s go ahead and do it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mosque, called the Islamic Center of East Bay, opened in 1999. It was housed in an unremarkable single-story dentist office, but the place was theirs. They would hold Friday prayers, Sunday school for children and Iftar for Ramadan. Abdul noticed that attendance in the first two years grew substantially to several dozen families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came Sept. 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘We felt that we were not wanted’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the terror attacks, Abdul trimmed his beard, which was a big part of his identity as a Muslim man.

Abdul said his family got used to Antioch and he began to enjoy the city more. But the biggest challenge for Abdul and the mosque would come on Aug. 12, 2007. Abdul said usually people who truly hate want to leave more of an impression, and the torching of their mosque was that “impression.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was real,” he said. “We felt that we were not wanted.

A wave of newcomers -- mostly people of color -- were challenging the notion of who belonged in Antioch. Many established residents felt threatened by an increase in crime. Some of those who recently arrived in the city felt like they weren't wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city tried addressing those issues in public meetings when it could. At a City Council meeting the week after the arson, Mayor Don Freitas apologized on behalf of the community, addressing Abdul and the mosque.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Clearly, this was a cowardly, despicable act,\" he said. \"We were all shocked. When you’re attacked, all of us are attacked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the arson left many in Antioch stunned, there was a question that mosque leaders needed to answer: Should we rebuild in Antioch, or should we leave? And not everyone agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even within my own family, they said we should not do this because we’re going to bring on more tension. We shouldn’t be here. It’s a signal.

He works with the Interfaith Council of Contra Costa County, representing more than 100 congregations in the region. McGarvey knows it can be hard to get people to rally around causes and to support one another in the suburbs, where cities are scattered, public transportation isn’t as prominent and commutes for many residents are long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of these houses are built with the garage as the main feature. They can pull into their garage and watch their surround sound home theater and not have to do much with their neighbors,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGarvey has tried to change that. After the arson, he helped organize a march against hate through downtown Antioch. Hundreds of people showed up to \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2007/09/23/antioch-march-against-hate-unites-wide-range-of-faiths-cultures/\">support the mosque\u003c/a>. There was an outpouring of letters and money coming in the mail. A series of regional events to dispel Islamophobia was held with the help of the Interfaith Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abdul said it was a major change to open the mosque doors, to become vulnerable in hopes of educating people about who Muslims are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the only way of having any hope of changing minds. Because the other way — becoming more closed and exclusive — isn’t going to work,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abdul said they likely weren’t reaching the target audience -- like whoever torched the mosque, which they’d never find out. But an interfaith support network was developing for Abdul. And when the mosque leaders decided to rebuild the Islamic center right back where it was, Abdul said it was a statement -- a way to say we’re not going anywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'You just can’t keep running'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two Ramadans passed. When the mosque reopened it still looked like an old dentist office from the outside. But now the Islamic Center of East Bay has iron gates and cameras around the perimeter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abdul knows there has been a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/us/politics/fbi-hate-crimes-muslims.html?_r=0\">rise in hate crimes\u003c/a> against Muslims nationwide. In California, there was a \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-hate-crimes-climb-20160919-snap-story.html\">spike in hate crimes\u003c/a> in 2015 following the San Bernardino shootings, and during the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, whose anti-Muslim policies and rhetoric have been criticized and blamed for some of these increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a way, it feels like the country is worse for Muslims now than it was after 9/11 and the arson, Abdul said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t end. It is a struggle and we have to keep fighting the good fight,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Muslims who attend the mosque are still worried about drawing too much attention, he said. But there is a growing \u003ca href=\"http://www.thearda.com/mapsreports/maps/2010/CA_TOTMUSCONG.asp\">Muslim population\u003c/a> and more mosques in these far suburbs in the eastern Bay Area. Which means there are more people like Abdul there to support each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abdul loves Antioch and is optimistic that his community can handle whatever comes next. He has joined McGarvey and other interfaith leaders in a small group called East County United, which meets to discuss ways they can work together and improve their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You just can’t keep running,” he said. “You’re leaving it for somebody else to discover these things without a solution.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

It was housed in an unremarkable single-story dentist office, but the place was theirs. They would hold Friday prayers, Sunday school for children and Iftar for Ramadan.

Abdul said his family got used to Antioch and he began to enjoy the city more. But the biggest challenge for Abdul and the mosque would come on Aug. 12, 2007. Abdul said usually people who truly hate want to leave more of an impression, and the torching of their mosque was that “impression.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was real,” he said. “We felt that we were not wanted.

A wave of newcomers -- mostly people of color -- were challenging the notion of who belonged in Antioch. Many established residents felt threatened by an increase in crime. Some of those who recently arrived in the city felt like they weren't wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city tried addressing those issues in public meetings when it could. At a City Council meeting the week after the arson, Mayor Don Freitas apologized on behalf of the community, addressing Abdul and the mosque.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Clearly, this was a cowardly, despicable act,\" he said. \"We were all shocked. When you’re attacked, all of us are attacked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the arson left many in Antioch stunned, there was a question that mosque leaders needed to answer: Should we rebuild in Antioch, or should we leave? And not everyone agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even within my own family, they said we should not do this because we’re going to bring on more tension. We shouldn’t be here. It’s a signal.

He works with the Interfaith Council of Contra Costa County, representing more than 100 congregations in the region. McGarvey knows it can be hard to get people to rally around causes and to support one another in the suburbs, where cities are scattered, public transportation isn’t as prominent and commutes for many residents are long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of these houses are built with the garage as the main feature. They can pull into their garage and watch their surround sound home theater and not have to do much with their neighbors,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGarvey has tried to change that. After the arson, he helped organize a march against hate through downtown Antioch. Hundreds of people showed up to \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2007/09/23/antioch-march-against-hate-unites-wide-range-of-faiths-cultures/\">support the mosque\u003c/a>. There was an outpouring of letters and money coming in the mail. A series of regional events to dispel Islamophobia was held with the help of the Interfaith Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abdul said it was a major change to open the mosque doors, to become vulnerable in hopes of educating people about who Muslims are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the only way of having any hope of changing minds. Because the other way — becoming more closed and exclusive — isn’t going to work,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abdul said they likely weren’t reaching the target audience -- like whoever torched the mosque, which they’d never find out. But an interfaith support network was developing for Abdul. And when the mosque leaders decided to rebuild the Islamic center right back where it was, Abdul said it was a statement -- a way to say we’re not going anywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'You just can’t keep running'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two Ramadans passed. When the mosque reopened it still looked like an old dentist office from the outside. But now the Islamic Center of East Bay has iron gates and cameras around the perimeter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abdul knows there has been a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/us/politics/fbi-hate-crimes-muslims.html?_r=0\">rise in hate crimes\u003c/a> against Muslims nationwide. In California, there was a \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-hate-crimes-climb-20160919-snap-story.html\">spike in hate crimes\u003c/a> in 2015 following the San Bernardino shootings, and during the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, whose anti-Muslim policies and rhetoric have been criticized and blamed for some of these increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a way, it feels like the country is worse for Muslims now than it was after 9/11 and the arson, Abdul said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t end. It is a struggle and we have to keep fighting the good fight,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Muslims who attend the mosque are still worried about drawing too much attention, he said. But there is a growing \u003ca href=\"http://www.thearda.com/mapsreports/maps/2010/CA_TOTMUSCONG.asp\">Muslim population\u003c/a> and more mosques in these far suburbs in the eastern Bay Area. Which means there are more people like Abdul there to support each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abdul loves Antioch and is optimistic that his community can handle whatever comes next. He has joined McGarvey and other interfaith leaders in a small group called East County United, which meets to discuss ways they can work together and improve their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Just load up the U-Haul and go back to Richmond or Oakland. You don’t belong in Antioch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Things have gotten better in Antioch since then: The city, hit hard by the nationwide recession, is emerging from it.

Antioch High hadn’t had any major repairs since opening at its current location in 1954. The school had many needs: new science and computer labs, a cafeteria and sports facilities, including a new football field -- a modern overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, the district put a $56 million school bond measure on the ballot. Though it was the middle of the recession, the town rallied behind it in the November general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was almost a fatalistic viewpoint,” said Rocha, who saw the measure as a test of what the school meant to Antioch. “The stakes were so high. If we hadn’t passed that bond measure I don’t know what we were going to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first project funded was the new football field. The year it officially opened, 2015, was when Harris hit his stride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday Night Lights: It’s Game Night\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris led the Panthers to an undefeated regular season record that year -- one last achieved when Rocha played on the team in 1979. It was enough to bring people from across the city out to the games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Najee has really brought football back to Antioch,” said Gayle Autentico, a former Antioch High cheerleader who graduated in 1956. “It’s brought people out who probably didn’t go for a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11327612\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11327612\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/IMG_2569-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Randy and Gayle Autentico dated while at Antioch High School.

The city's population went from 62,195 in 1990 to 102,745 in 2010, according to \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/prevention/pdf/Health-Indicators-and-Environmental-Factors-Related-to-Obesity-2013.pdf\">census data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some longtime residents welcomed the newcomers; others didn’t. Problems that accompanied the community’s growth -- including violent crime, which rose \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2008/01/29/violent-crime-in-antioch-up-31-percent/\">31 percent\u003c/a> in 2007, and poverty -- led some longtime residents to place the blame on the newcomers, causing rifts and fissures to surface along racial and socioeconomic lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was natural that as the city experienced growing pains, some older residents blamed their new neighbors, said Antioch Police Chief Allan Cantando.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If people are coming in that look different, and people perceive it as worse, then the correlation is, well it’s them, that’s what’s causing it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At times, these tensions boiled over in the mid-2000s: A mosque was set on fire, a mixed-race youth was beaten up and robbed at a football game, a group of black teenagers was expelled from school after a melee with police at a gas station near school, and women living in Section 8 housing (homes for lower-income individuals) accused city officials of trying to push them out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A series of “Quality of Life” forums hosted by Antioch leaders over several years to address the problems revealed the depth of the divisions, with one man recounting how he’d received several letters telling him: “You all haven’t been in this house for two weeks and it looks like a dump. ... Just load up the U-Haul and go back to Richmond or Oakland. You don’t belong in Antioch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Things have gotten better in Antioch since then: The city, hit hard by the nationwide recession, is emerging from it. Antioch High is performing better as a school. And some believe the racial tensions have improved, that people have learned to talk to each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one thing that’s part of the mix is the Antioch High football team -- with the help of Najee Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Harris: Antioch Migrant\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris in many ways is emblematic of the newcomers: He bounced around the Bay Area before ending up in Antioch, nicknamed “Rivertown” for its location near the mouth of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11327610\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11327610\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/najee_before-game-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Najee Harris gets taped up before the homecoming game against Liberty High School.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/najee_before-game-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/najee_before-game-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/najee_before-game-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/najee_before-game-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/najee_before-game-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/najee_before-game-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/najee_before-game-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/najee_before-game-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/najee_before-game-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Najee Harris gets taped up before the homecoming game against Liberty High School. \u003ccite>(Adam Grossberg/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When asked where he’s lived the longest, Harris said, “Antioch.

Antioch High hadn’t had any major repairs since opening at its current location in 1954. The school had many needs: new science and computer labs, a cafeteria and sports facilities, including a new football field -- a modern overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, the district put a $56 million school bond measure on the ballot. Though it was the middle of the recession, the town rallied behind it in the November general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was almost a fatalistic viewpoint,” said Rocha, who saw the measure as a test of what the school meant to Antioch. “The stakes were so high. If we hadn’t passed that bond measure I don’t know what we were going to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first project funded was the new football field.

That’s nearly double what we would expect, and confirms that low-income people are leaving the city at disproportionately high rates. At the other end of the spectrum, high-income earners making $150,000 or more are leaving at a rate about 30 percent lower than expected. All this points to cost being a major driver of who has to leave and who gets to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How many people are we talking about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that five-year span between 2010 and 2014, 104,544 people left Oakland. (Sidenote: 108,649 people moved in, so overall the city grew.) So, we’ll speculate that during the five-year span, at least 14,008 left Oakland for economic reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That number is likely on the low end of reality because it doesn’t factor in households making more than $30,000. There are certainly many people making middle or high incomes who can’t afford a comfortable life in Oakland, especially with a family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We can also tell from census data that people of color are leaving Oakland in record numbers. Since 2000, the city has lost 30 percent of its black population — a notable trend for a city that was once 47 percent black, and home to the Black Panther Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Where is Everybody Going?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>According to census data, the majority of residents being pushed out of Oakland are staying in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11307804\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11307804\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-1020x574.png\" alt=\"saleprice\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-1020x574.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-160x90.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-800x450.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-1180x664.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-960x540.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-240x135.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-375x211.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-520x293.png 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Housing prices are on the rise in Antioch, too.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>KQED reporters Devin Katayama and Sandhya Dirks spent a year reporting on the outmigration of low-income residents and people of color from Oakland, San Francisco and Richmond to the surrounding suburbs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we were reporting on Oakland we kept hearing, ‘Oh, they’re going out to Antioch,’ ‘He moved to Antioch,’ ‘She moved to Antioch,’ ” says Dirks. “So, we went to Antioch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The traditionally white working-class community about 45 miles east of San Francisco is undergoing a change that is often overlooked in reports about gentrification in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the first episode of their project, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/programs/qedup/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Suburb\u003c/a>, which is Season 1 of KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/programs/qedup/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Q’ed Up podcast\u003c/a>.

That’s nearly double what we would expect, and confirms that low-income people are leaving the city at disproportionately high rates. At the other end of the spectrum, high-income earners making $150,000 or more are leaving at a rate about 30 percent lower than expected. All this points to cost being a major driver of who has to leave and who gets to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How many people are we talking about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that five-year span between 2010 and 2014, 104,544 people left Oakland. (Sidenote: 108,649 people moved in, so overall the city grew.) So, we’ll speculate that during the five-year span, at least 14,008 left Oakland for economic reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That number is likely on the low end of reality because it doesn’t factor in households making more than $30,000. There are certainly many people making middle or high incomes who can’t afford a comfortable life in Oakland, especially with a family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We can also tell from census data that people of color are leaving Oakland in record numbers. Since 2000, the city has lost 30 percent of its black population — a notable trend for a city that was once 47 percent black, and home to the Black Panther Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Where is Everybody Going?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>According to census data, the majority of residents being pushed out of Oakland are staying in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11307804\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11307804\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-1020x574.png\" alt=\"saleprice\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-1020x574.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-160x90.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-800x450.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-1180x664.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-960x540.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-240x135.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-375x211.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice-520x293.png 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/saleprice.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Housing prices are on the rise in Antioch, too.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>KQED reporters Devin Katayama and Sandhya Dirks spent a year reporting on the outmigration of low-income residents and people of color from Oakland, San Francisco and Richmond to the surrounding suburbs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we were reporting on Oakland we kept hearing, ‘Oh, they’re going out to Antioch,’ ‘He moved to Antioch,’ ‘She moved to Antioch,’ ” says Dirks. “So, we went to Antioch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The traditionally white working-class community about 45 miles east of San Francisco is undergoing a change that is often overlooked in reports about gentrification in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the first episode of their project, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/programs/qedup/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Suburb\u003c/a>, which is Season 1 of KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/programs/qedup/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Q’ed Up podcast\u003c/a>.

Cities have to pick up the tab for printings, mailings and other election costs when ballot measures are introduced. The city clerk estimated Measure E would cost at least $132,771. That's a lot of money, said Councilmember Mary Rocha, who says Antioch has not recovered from the recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a response, the council decided to add another ballot measure to the June election (adding more ballot measures doesn't cost too much extra, according to the city clerk). Measure G would eliminate the city treasurer as an elected position and make it appointed. Since the treasurer makes as much as a councilmember -- roughly $20,000 annually -- this would actually save the city money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was my idea to eliminate the job,\" said City Treasurer Donna Conley, who has held the position for 12 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She admits that most of her duties have been absorbed by the city's Finance Department, and she calls the treasurer more of a ceremonial position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’d rather see the city save the money rather than pay somebody to just basically sit there for a couple of hours and do a few things\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antioch officials say if Measure G is approved, the money saved over time will make up the costs of having to pay for Measure E.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Cities have to pick up the tab for printings, mailings and other election costs when ballot measures are introduced. The city clerk estimated Measure E would cost at least $132,771. That's a lot of money, said Councilmember Mary Rocha, who says Antioch has not recovered from the recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a response, the council decided to add another ballot measure to the June election (adding more ballot measures doesn't cost too much extra, according to the city clerk). Measure G would eliminate the city treasurer as an elected position and make it appointed. Since the treasurer makes as much as a councilmember -- roughly $20,000 annually -- this would actually save the city money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was my idea to eliminate the job,\" said City Treasurer Donna Conley, who has held the position for 12 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She admits that most of her duties have been absorbed by the city's Finance Department, and she calls the treasurer more of a ceremonial position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’d rather see the city save the money rather than pay somebody to just basically sit there for a couple of hours and do a few things\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antioch officials say if Measure G is approved, the money saved over time will make up the costs of having to pay for Measure E.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But the majority of both renters and homeowners wouldn’t be able to afford a median-priced home in their communities, according to an analysis by the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.urbanstrategies.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/USC_HousingEquityRoadmap_DataPacket_July2014.pdf\">Urban Strategies Council\u003c/a> in 2014 that looked at selected Oakland neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard Kees, Denise’s father, has been a real estate agent in Oakland for about 25 years. Before that, he coached youth basketball. Now some of his former players are settling down. They have good credit and stable jobs that provide steady income — just not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those same kids that I coached are coming back to me and saying, ‘Coach, I’m ready to buy a house. If coach could do it, so could I,'” he says. “And I hold my head down and say, ‘You don’t qualify.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard Kees grew up in West Oakland at 20th and Wood streets and attended McClymonds High School. Now, “yuppies, buppies and hipsters” have moved into the neighborhood, he says. The last house he sold in West Oakland went for $600,000 and was “tore from the floor up” — a fixer-upper. There are two more homes he’s currently trying to broker in the neighborhood for more than $800,000 apiece, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the problem is that there are very few incentives for developers to build houses for residents with average incomes. State and federal tax incentives often support low-income housing developments, while private developers are able to make up costs of building more expensive housing by charging prices that more and more people are willing to pay to live in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Developers built no housing specifically for people making a “moderate” income between \u003ca href=\"http://abag.ca.gov/files/RHNAProgress2007_2014_082815.pdf\">2007 and 2014\u003c/a>, according to city data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a surprise. I didn’t think it was zero,” says Michele Byrd, Oakland’s housing director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A state Assembly bill introduced last year would have tried to extend certain housing subsidies statewide for middle-income residences. It failed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Assemblyman Tony Thurmond, a Democrat from Richmond, is working \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2015/11/oakland-middle-income-bill-housing-bill-thurmond.html\">on legislation\u003c/a> that also targets more moderate income earners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland is currently considering new housing policies, including a discussion about impact fees that would either require developers to build a certain percentage of affordable housing as part of their projects or charge developers a fee that would help pay for more affordable housing elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antioch has a different story. Between 2007 and 2014, the city surpassed its housing goals, set by the Association of Bay Area Governments. The bedroom community in eastern Contra Costa County has space to build and land is cheaper than in Oakland, says Forrest Ebbs, Antioch’s community development director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can actually build moderately priced housing here and make a good profit on it,” Ebbs says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10883035\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10883035\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-800x450.png\" alt=\"Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder (2)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-800x450.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-400x225.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-1180x664.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-960x540.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">O\u003c/span>ver the last decade, Vanessa Ladson moved from Oakland to Hercules, then to Pittsburg and finally to Antioch in 2010 — jumping on a five-bedroom house that sold for $300,000.

But the majority of both renters and homeowners wouldn’t be able to afford a median-priced home in their communities, according to an analysis by the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.urbanstrategies.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/USC_HousingEquityRoadmap_DataPacket_July2014.pdf\">Urban Strategies Council\u003c/a> in 2014 that looked at selected Oakland neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard Kees, Denise’s father, has been a real estate agent in Oakland for about 25 years. Before that, he coached youth basketball. Now some of his former players are settling down. They have good credit and stable jobs that provide steady income — just not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those same kids that I coached are coming back to me and saying, ‘Coach, I’m ready to buy a house. If coach could do it, so could I,'” he says. “And I hold my head down and say, ‘You don’t qualify.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard Kees grew up in West Oakland at 20th and Wood streets and attended McClymonds High School. Now, “yuppies, buppies and hipsters” have moved into the neighborhood, he says. The last house he sold in West Oakland went for $600,000 and was “tore from the floor up” — a fixer-upper. There are two more homes he’s currently trying to broker in the neighborhood for more than $800,000 apiece, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the problem is that there are very few incentives for developers to build houses for residents with average incomes. State and federal tax incentives often support low-income housing developments, while private developers are able to make up costs of building more expensive housing by charging prices that more and more people are willing to pay to live in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Developers built no housing specifically for people making a “moderate” income between \u003ca href=\"http://abag.ca.gov/files/RHNAProgress2007_2014_082815.pdf\">2007 and 2014\u003c/a>, according to city data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a surprise.

It failed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Assemblyman Tony Thurmond, a Democrat from Richmond, is working \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2015/11/oakland-middle-income-bill-housing-bill-thurmond.html\">on legislation\u003c/a> that also targets more moderate income earners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland is currently considering new housing policies, including a discussion about impact fees that would either require developers to build a certain percentage of affordable housing as part of their projects or charge developers a fee that would help pay for more affordable housing elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antioch has a different story. Between 2007 and 2014, the city surpassed its housing goals, set by the Association of Bay Area Governments. The bedroom community in eastern Contra Costa County has space to build and land is cheaper than in Oakland, says Forrest Ebbs, Antioch’s community development director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can actually build moderately priced housing here and make a good profit on it,” Ebbs says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10883035\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10883035\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-800x450.png\" alt=\"Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder (2)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-800x450.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-400x225.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-1180x664.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-960x540.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">O\u003c/span>ver the last decade, Vanessa Ladson moved from Oakland to Hercules, then to Pittsburg and finally to Antioch in 2010 — jumping on a five-bedroom house that sold for $300,000.
