Most of those affected were from Ireland, according to a statement from the law firm handling the cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The terms of the agreement were not announced, \u003ca href=\"https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/berkeley-balcony-collapse-relatives-settle-cases-against-firms-1.3299054\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">but the Irish Times reported\u003c/a>, “the figure is said to total a substantial multimillion-dollar sum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There just remains one legal claim outstanding with Insul-Flow Inc., a concrete company that operated in California and Nevada, \u003ca href=\"https://patch.com/california/berkeley/partial-settlement-reached-berkeley-balcony-collapse-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to Bay City News Service.\u003c/a> In May, the families \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/05/05/lawsuits-connected-2015-deadly-berkeley-balcony-collapse-settled/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">settled with many of the defendants \u003c/a>that were sued in connection with the catastrophe. They got as much as $20 million, according to the Irish Times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuits filed in November 2015 had alleged that the main contractor, Segue Construction, used inferior composite wood rather than pressure-treated wood to construct the balcony that collapsed. The company, which employed subcontractors, also allowed the balcony to be saturated by rain before enclosing it. All of those missteps meant the balcony had an underlying weakness that caused its collapse when 13 people at a birthday party stood on it at the same time, according to the lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, mushrooms began to grow on the outside of the fifth-floor balcony, as well as a balcony on the fourth floor, according to the lawsuits. Despite those red flags, neither Greystone nor BlackRock took steps to examine the balcony’s structure and determine if it was safe, according to the lawsuits. Instead, they allowed apartment #405 to be rented out regularly until the collapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state of California concurred that inferior materials were used with that assessment in\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/06/02/water-absorbent-material-caused-fatal-balcony-collapse-state-says/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a 145-page report released earlier this year\u003c/a>.

The city of Berkeley had reached a similar conclusion after its investigation of the balcony collapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the terms of the most recent settlement are confidential, it apparently includes an agreement by BlackRock and Greystone to “change their procedures so the balconies on their properties are inspected on a regular basis,”\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/editorial/berkeley-settlement-calculating-the-incalculable-1.3299737\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/editorial/berkeley-settlement-calculating-the-incalculable-1.3299737\"> Irish\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/editorial/berkeley-settlement-calculating-the-incalculable-1.3299737\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Times.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement also allows the families to continue speaking out about what led to the balcony collapse and what should be done to prevent future tragedies like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Donohoe family was insistent that there could be no ‘Secret Settlement’ designed to prevent the parties from discussing the facts of the case and what they believe to be the cause of this tragedy,” their attorney, Eustace de Saint Phalle of Rains Lucia Stern St. Phalle & Silver, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The most important factor of this settlement for the Donohoe family is that they will be allowed to continue their efforts in the legislature to avoid a tragedy like this from happening again,\" said de Saint Phalle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nothing will stop us from continuing our fight to have changes made to the California building codes and regulations to require regular inspections by qualified people, proper design and use of proper construction materials, and a ban on ‘Secret Settlements’ that allow contractors to hide defective construction work from the contractors licensing board and the public,” the family of Ashley Donohoe, who was 22 and was from Rohnert Park, said in the statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_196590\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11632897\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11632897\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/balcony.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/balcony.jpg 720w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/balcony-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/balcony-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/balcony-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/balcony-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flowers, candles, and other mementos fill a memorial on Kittredge Street and Harold Way for the victims of the balcony collapse at Library Gardens Apartments, in Berkeley, on Thursday, June 18, 2015.

But Ken’s job is really the first casualty of the digital revolution. We didn’t need typewriters anymore once computers came around. So you didn’t need a typewriter repairman. But he’s been working for the last 30 years trying to keep it going for the few people who love typewriters. At the shop, most of the new customers are all kids. They’re bringing in their parents, telling them they want a typewriter. They’ve grown up touching glass, touching iPhones and iPads, and I think they find it interesting to see how you push a letter and it forms a letter on the page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He knew I was going through my own challenge with my own family with disabilities. He recognized there was something I was trying to understand, and understand in him. Hale is a civil rights hero, but his story hasn’t really been out there. His goal was to build an infrastructure where he could move around independently. And now he’s benefiting from the fruits of that labor. I think he allowed me to do this story because he knows it would continue that advocacy and continue to show what people with disabilities are capable of doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On California and the Bay Area’s pivotal role in the disability rights movement:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hale was always there, every single day. He dealt with the nuts and bolts of advocacy and policy. If you look through the extensive oral history archive at UC Berkeley’s Bancroft Library about the disability rights movement, you see that people like Judy Heumann and Ed Roberts were the mouthpieces, but Hale was the workhorse. He started writing \u003ca href=\"http://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/tf796nb2t9/\">advocacy and policy papers \u003c/a>from the early 1970s. He was instrumental in the first bill which allowed people to hire and fire their own attendants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11626615\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11626615\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/RS27722_Hale_4shot_archival_5x7_300dpi-qut-1-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"Disability rights activists in the Bay Area in the 1970s, lobbying for federal protections.

He knew I was going through my own challenge with my own family with disabilities. He recognized there was something I was trying to understand, and understand in him. Hale is a civil rights hero, but his story hasn’t really been out there. His goal was to build an infrastructure where he could move around independently. And now he’s benefiting from the fruits of that labor. I think he allowed me to do this story because he knows it would continue that advocacy and continue to show what people with disabilities are capable of doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On California and the Bay Area’s pivotal role in the disability rights movement:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hale was always there, every single day. He dealt with the nuts and bolts of advocacy and policy. If you look through the extensive oral history archive at UC Berkeley’s Bancroft Library about the disability rights movement, you see that people like Judy Heumann and Ed Roberts were the mouthpieces, but Hale was the workhorse. He started writing \u003ca href=\"http://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/tf796nb2t9/\">advocacy and policy papers \u003c/a>from the early 1970s.

"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Jerry Brown has signed into law more than a dozen bills to address California’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/housing-costs-high-california/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">housing crisis\u003c/a>. Now it's up to cities and counties to begin faithfully (or maybe not so faithfully) enacting the state’s new housing agenda. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process has already begun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea is that we have to comply with these laws of the state of California now,” said Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín, whose city has been defined for years by fights between pro- and slow-development forces. “And so how can we comply ... but also preserve some degree of local control?” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tension between cities’ traditional prerogative over local land use and the state’s broader interest in more housing for dwelling-strapped California framed much of the housing debate in Sacramento this year. Now officials in San Jose, San Luis Obispo, Redondo Beach and other locales are exploring how to work within the new rules -- on their own terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arreguín applauds state lawmakers for finally taking action on an issue that cities have been fighting alone for years. New funding is particularly welcome. A pair of new laws offer the promise of fresh dollars for affordable housing construction via a new \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB2\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fee\u003c/a> on real estate documents and a 2018 \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bond measure\u003c/a>.

To qualify for fast-track treatment, new multifamily housing developments will have to meet current zoning standards, set aside a certain share of below-market units and pay their workers union wages. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How many developers will be willing to tick those boxes is unclear, but proponents call streamlining a necessary measure to bypass NIMBY obstructionism.

Jerry Brown has signed into law more than a dozen bills to address California’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/housing-costs-high-california/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">housing crisis\u003c/a>. Now it's up to cities and counties to begin faithfully (or maybe not so faithfully) enacting the state’s new housing agenda. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process has already begun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea is that we have to comply with these laws of the state of California now,” said Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín, whose city has been defined for years by fights between pro- and slow-development forces. “And so how can we comply ... but also preserve some degree of local control?” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tension between cities’ traditional prerogative over local land use and the state’s broader interest in more housing for dwelling-strapped California framed much of the housing debate in Sacramento this year. Now officials in San Jose, San Luis Obispo, Redondo Beach and other locales are exploring how to work within the new rules -- on their own terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arreguín applauds state lawmakers for finally taking action on an issue that cities have been fighting alone for years. New funding is particularly welcome. A pair of new laws offer the promise of fresh dollars for affordable housing construction via a new \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB2\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fee\u003c/a> on real estate documents and a 2018 \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bond measure\u003c/a>.

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
