So jornaleros is like, it’s literally day work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:02:30] Ximena Natera is a photojournalist at Berkeleyside. She reported this story with Berkeleyside reporter Vanessa Arredondo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:02:41] People are able to see mostly men standing along a couple of streets on Hearst Avenue in West Berkeley. It’s a seven street corridor where the city of Berkeley put up signs a few years ago that designates places where people can stand and wait for work and where clients can stop by and park their car and talk to the people. The scene is mostly younger men wearing like a backpack and they’re just like waiting either by small groups or they’re scattered around the corners along this first corridor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:28] And I have seen groups of day laborers in Vallejo, actually, where I live, and in other cities in the Bay Area. But I understand there’s a particular concentration of them in Berkeley. Why is that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:03:43] I think you can find jornaleros everywhere in the Bay. But Berkeley has its very particular group of people. I think it’s smaller. For many workers, they feel like it’s a good place because there’s less competition in contrast to Oakland, for example. A lot of people who go and hire jornaleros it’s like for garden keeping and bush keeping in big houses in the hills. So you know, people feel that it’s like a good area to go work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:04:17] This group of day laborers, are they mostly immigrants? Like who are we talking about is doing this work?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:04:24] Many of the jornaleros may lack a legal authorization, but there is a mix of reasons. There’s people who are going through asylum cases and people who are on TPS, temporary protection status. There are even some, you know, like residents and citizens. Either people who recently arrived who have a language barrier or people who don’t have full work permits or who are in a little bit of a limbo in their immigration status. But it’s mostly for young men who are able to work many different things from landscaping to building houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:05:11] Well, I am from the city of Perote, Veracruz\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:05:15] We met Ángel who is a Mexican migrant. He’s I think 51. He is from El Perote, Veracruz. We decided to just identify the workers and the volunteers just by their first name as a way to ensure their safety. He has been in the U.S. I think a little bit over a year and a half and he is, you know, a jornalero through and through. He does landscaping, he does roof building, he does everything that he can with his hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:05:48] We do gardening, construction, whatever they give us, we will do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:56] What exactly is his sort of day-to-day like and how much does he get paid for this work?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:06:05] Ángel lives in Oakland. He shares a studio apartment with a few friends. They are all day laborers.

He spent a brief time here working. He had like a young family back in Mexico. He wanted to support them and decided to go back because his family was there and he did not want to leave his family behind. So he went back and with whatever savings he had from his work here, he opened a business. He worked there, his family grew a little bit. And two years ago, his business was burned down by criminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:07:34] My motivation was because I had a business in Mexico and they burned it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:07:40] And a few months after that, he was assaulted, robbed, and stabbed. And he just thought that there was nothing else for him. He had lost every single backup plan that he had, and he still had to support his family. He has a young daughter, so he decided to come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:07:59] I was robbed and attacked, I was stabbed three times, so I decided to come here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:08:04] And Angel is in his fifties. Being a jornalero in your fifties, is pretty hard on the body, but he thought that it was one of the few things he was able to do, so he decided to come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:08:20] It’s precarious, I imagine.

I mean, does he not show up to work as often or is life pretty much the same?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:09:59] Life is technically pretty much the same just the fear is higher. That’s something that a lot of people told us like yes we are very worried but like we have to go out, we have to out and work we need to be outside we cannot just like not show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:10:14] But I have to go out because the bills are running, you have to pay rent, you have to call, you send some money to your relatives and you can’t be locked up all day. What would you do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:10:32] Besides the fear of deportation, day laborers are also vulnerable to potential abuse at work, like wage theft, not getting breaks, and even threats. And many workers don’t want to speak up for fear of retaliation or deportation. But another reason why there’s such a concentration of day laborers in Berkeley is the presence of a nonprofit there that supports day laborers, providing a sort of home base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:11:05] The Multicultural Institute is a nonprofit that is trying to be a little bit of a safe space for jornaleros in that area. They also have work in Oakland and in different places of the Alameda County. In Oakland, they have one space. It’s a house where people can go in the morning there and have coffee. People can go and charge their phones. They can use the bathroom. And this is something that is very useful for people who have most of their work is being outside waiting for people to come by. but they also bring some legal support, and also if somebody is not being paid on time or well, they can intervene. It’s a little bit of a backup to people in a safe space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juana \u003c/strong>[00:11:53] On Wednesdays, I helped with food distribution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:11:57] We talked to one volunteer, her name is Juana, she is 30 years old and she lives in Berkeley. She is from Mexico, but she is a resident in the U.S. She told us that she suffers from anxiety all the time. And one of the ways that she found that she can calm her anxiety is helping others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juana \u003c/strong>[00:12:25] I like to help people, I always like to help people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:12:28] And they also have helped people connect with health services. So Angel had a stroke last year, and the Multicultural Institute helped him get into Medicaid and help cover some of the big bills. And he was in a rush to be able to, like to heal, to be to go back into work. Because not being able to work for a few weeks or a month is like a crushing feeling for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:01] I do want to come back to Angel, despite all the fear, despite the anxiety of this particular moment, what does he tell you about why it’s still so important for him to be out there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:13:16] He has a young daughter that for him every time, every year that he gets to work here will get her daughter closer to be able to go to college. I asked him, like, how would you compare the anxiety that you feel about being detained by ICE and migration compared to the anxiety of being persecuted by a narcotraffic criminal? He was like, I can’t compare them because when I go out here, I’m afraid that I’m going to be detained and deported. And when I’m in Mexico and I had to go out to work, I was afraid that was going to be killed or disappeared or murdered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:13:56] The cartels are the same, maybe there is more fear there because you go out and they can rob you in any corner and here there is a little more security, that’s the difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:14:12] And I understand that it was really important for you to ask some of these folks who are doing really difficult work every day, what do you like to do for fun? What did Angel tell you about that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:14:27] You know, I was trying to understand what his day-to-day looks like, how does his relationship with his roommates works. And he was like, well, we’re all usually very tired. We all just go to work and then go to bed. And that’s it. And then sometimes we cook and sometimes we buy some food and that’s. I was asking him, so what do you like to do? Like, can he mention that he really likes football? And I said, well the Bay is very famous for having pick-up leagues for football, you know, like, it’s very easy to find a team. And he was like, no, yeah. And I actually, I was a football player when I was younger and I’m pretty good. And I was like well, there you go. Why don’t you go play some football? And he’s like, well, I’m 50. What if I tore something, a muscle, or what if I twist my ankle? He’s like I can’t work. And if I can work, there’s nothing I can do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:15:21] You don’t have insurance, who’s going to help you pay your rent?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:15:27] You know, like this idea that he has to work and he has no backup is it like defines most of his life. I think we think of migration as this mass movement, people, faceless, and I think that it is very important for people to understand that these are our neighbors, that these people have their own lives and put like a face to these stories. These are singular stories. Everybody has a life and motivations. It’s very particular. So we wanted to put a lot of attention into personal stories and how these big fears impact people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:16:18] Well, Ximena, thank you so much for sharing your reporting with us. I appreciate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:16:23] Thank you so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:16:31] That was Ximena Natera, a photojournalist at Berkeleyside. Ximena reported this story with Berkeleyside’s Vanessa Arredondo. I’ll leave you a link to their story with Ximena’s photos in our show notes.

She reported this story with Berkeleyside reporter Vanessa Arredondo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:02:41] People are able to see mostly men standing along a couple of streets on Hearst Avenue in West Berkeley. It’s a seven street corridor where the city of Berkeley put up signs a few years ago that designates places where people can stand and wait for work and where clients can stop by and park their car and talk to the people. The scene is mostly younger men wearing like a backpack and they’re just like waiting either by small groups or they’re scattered around the corners along this first corridor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:28] And I have seen groups of day laborers in Vallejo, actually, where I live, and in other cities in the Bay Area. But I understand there’s a particular concentration of them in Berkeley. Why is that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:03:43] I think you can find jornaleros everywhere in the Bay. But Berkeley has its very particular group of people. I think it’s smaller. For many workers, they feel like it’s a good place because there’s less competition in contrast to Oakland, for example. A lot of people who go and hire jornaleros it’s like for garden keeping and bush keeping in big houses in the hills. So you know, people feel that it’s like a good area to go work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:04:17] This group of day laborers, are they mostly immigrants? Like who are we talking about is doing this work?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:04:24] Many of the jornaleros may lack a legal authorization, but there is a mix of reasons. There’s people who are going through asylum cases and people who are on TPS, temporary protection status. There are even some, you know, like residents and citizens. Either people who recently arrived who have a language barrier or people who don’t have full work permits or who are in a little bit of a limbo in their immigration status. But it’s mostly for young men who are able to work many different things from landscaping to building houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:05:11] Well, I am from the city of Perote, Veracruz\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:05:15] We met Ángel who is a Mexican migrant. He’s I think 51. He is from El Perote, Veracruz. We decided to just identify the workers and the volunteers just by their first name as a way to ensure their safety. He has been in the U.S. I think a little bit over a year and a half and he is, you know, a jornalero through and through. He does landscaping, he does roof building, he does everything that he can with his hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:05:48] We do gardening, construction, whatever they give us, we will do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:56] What exactly is his sort of day-to-day like and how much does he get paid for this work?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:06:05] Ángel lives in Oakland. He shares a studio apartment with a few friends. They are all day laborers. He tries to arrive to Berkeley by 8 a.m. And then after that he finds a place that he is comfortable and then he just waits. 8 a .m. until 4 p.m., hopefully somebody will come and stop and ask him for like his rate and offer him a job. And if he does get a job, he will go with this person, go somewhere and like do the work and then get home and he goes to bed and then he goes, like he does the same thing the next day, six days a week. People can get to earn up to $600 a week, if it’s a good week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:54] Can you tell me a little bit about why he came to the US and what that has meant for his life?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:07:04] Ángel came to the U.S. over a decade ago. He spent a brief time here working. He had like a young family back in Mexico. He wanted to support them and decided to go back because his family was there and he did not want to leave his family behind. So he went back and with whatever savings he had from his work here, he opened a business. He worked there, his family grew a little bit. And two years ago, his business was burned down by criminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:07:34] My motivation was because I had a business in Mexico and they burned it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:07:40] And a few months after that, he was assaulted, robbed, and stabbed. And he just thought that there was nothing else for him. He had lost every single backup plan that he had, and he still had to support his family. He has a young daughter, so he decided to come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:07:59] I was robbed and attacked, I was stabbed three times, so I decided to come here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:08:04] And Angel is in his fifties.

They are going to deport me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:08:53] He was saying that, you know, in the past few years with this rise of anti-immigration rhetoric, he feels more afraid that somebody will do something to him just because of the way he looks. A few months ago, he was waiting with a group of friends and a couple of kids driving by shoot them with a BB gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:09:14] They shot us with plastic bullets. You get used to it, you can’t say anything, but you get use to it sometimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:09:26] Definitely the mood was down for a lot of day laborers because while they’re not paying attention to exactly everything that is coming from the federal government, they can hear what their neighbors are saying, what people are saying on Facebook, and the worry is pretty high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:09:44] Has anything, I guess, changed for Angel since President Donald Trump entered office then?

That’s something that a lot of people told us like yes we are very worried but like we have to go out, we have to out and work we need to be outside we cannot just like not show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:10:14] But I have to go out because the bills are running, you have to pay rent, you have to call, you send some money to your relatives and you can’t be locked up all day. What would you do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:10:32] Besides the fear of deportation, day laborers are also vulnerable to potential abuse at work, like wage theft, not getting breaks, and even threats.

People can go and charge their phones. They can use the bathroom. And this is something that is very useful for people who have most of their work is being outside waiting for people to come by. but they also bring some legal support, and also if somebody is not being paid on time or well, they can intervene. It’s a little bit of a backup to people in a safe space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juana \u003c/strong>[00:11:53] On Wednesdays, I helped with food distribution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:11:57] We talked to one volunteer, her name is Juana, she is 30 years old and she lives in Berkeley. She is from Mexico, but she is a resident in the U.S. She told us that she suffers from anxiety all the time. And one of the ways that she found that she can calm her anxiety is helping others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juana \u003c/strong>[00:12:25] I like to help people, I always like to help people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:12:28] And they also have helped people connect with health services. So Angel had a stroke last year, and the Multicultural Institute helped him get into Medicaid and help cover some of the big bills. And he was in a rush to be able to, like to heal, to be to go back into work. Because not being able to work for a few weeks or a month is like a crushing feeling for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:01] I do want to come back to Angel, despite all the fear, despite the anxiety of this particular moment, what does he tell you about why it’s still so important for him to be out there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:13:16] He has a young daughter that for him every time, every year that he gets to work here will get her daughter closer to be able to go to college. I asked him, like, how would you compare the anxiety that you feel about being detained by ICE and migration compared to the anxiety of being persecuted by a narcotraffic criminal? He was like, I can’t compare them because when I go out here, I’m afraid that I’m going to be detained and deported. And when I’m in Mexico and I had to go out to work, I was afraid that was going to be killed or disappeared or murdered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:13:56] The cartels are the same, maybe there is more fear there because you go out and they can rob you in any corner and here there is a little more security, that’s the difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:14:12] And I understand that it was really important for you to ask some of these folks who are doing really difficult work every day, what do you like to do for fun? What did Angel tell you about that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:14:27] You know, I was trying to understand what his day-to-day looks like, how does his relationship with his roommates works. And he was like, well, we’re all usually very tired. We all just go to work and then go to bed. And that’s it. And then sometimes we cook and sometimes we buy some food and that’s. I was asking him, so what do you like to do? Like, can he mention that he really likes football? And I said, well the Bay is very famous for having pick-up leagues for football, you know, like, it’s very easy to find a team. And he was like, no, yeah. And I actually, I was a football player when I was younger and I’m pretty good. And I was like well, there you go. Why don’t you go play some football? And he’s like, well, I’m 50. What if I tore something, a muscle, or what if I twist my ankle? He’s like I can’t work. And if I can work, there’s nothing I can do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ángel \u003c/strong>[00:15:21] You don’t have insurance, who’s going to help you pay your rent?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:15:27] You know, like this idea that he has to work and he has no backup is it like defines most of his life. I think we think of migration as this mass movement, people, faceless, and I think that it is very important for people to understand that these are our neighbors, that these people have their own lives and put like a face to these stories. These are singular stories. Everybody has a life and motivations. It’s very particular. So we wanted to put a lot of attention into personal stories and how these big fears impact people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:16:18] Well, Ximena, thank you so much for sharing your reporting with us. I appreciate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ximena Natera \u003c/strong>[00:16:23] Thank you so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:16:31] That was Ximena Natera, a photojournalist at Berkeleyside. Ximena reported this story with Berkeleyside’s Vanessa Arredondo. I’ll leave you a link to their story with Ximena’s photos in our show notes. This 30 minute conversation with Ximena was cut down and edited by senior editor, Alan Montecillo. It was produced and scored by Jessica Kariisa. The tape was translated by our intern, Mel Velasquez.

A San Francisco measure to allow 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote in city elections was rejected by voters in 2016 and 2020 — both times, the margin of defeat was slim. Youth advocates began launching a third attempt in April, but nothing tangible came of that effort by the November election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some advocates believe national politics could also play a role in expanding a lowered voting age. President Donald Trump’s second term is motivating many teens who feel democracy itself is at risk, according to Allen. He also noted that youth frustration with national politics is pushing many to look toward their own communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Young people are very excited about what their impact could be on the local level as it relates to a more inclusive democracy,” Allen said. “But I think I would be remiss if I didn’t say that young people are disappointed and are thinking about what the next four years are going to look like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only for them,” he added. “But for their communities and the people that they love and care about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That’s Cecilia Lei, Katrina Schwartz, Dana Cronin, Alex Gonzalez, and Tessa Paoli. If that feels like a long list of people filling in, it’s because both myself and Erica have been out for a good amount of the month. So thanks to all those folks for filling in and thank you both Mel and Jessica for holding it down. Okay, well, let’s jump into the news roundup. Let’s talk about some. stories that we’ve all been following. Actually, Mel, let’s start with you. What do you got for us?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:01:03] I have this story that was originally reported by KQED reporter Katie DeBenedetti. And last week, the Trump administration signed an executive order to dramatically cut federal agencies, including the Presidio Trust. That would mean that that land, the park, would no longer be public land and could be up for grabs to be developed by private companies. and they’re even asking for the $200 million given to the park through the Inflation Reduction Act back. It’s really devastating. It’s the first park I ever visited in San Francisco as a kid, and that was like stunning. And I was like, one day I’m gonna live in San Francisco. So that was kind of like my first kind of my source of love for the city. All around, this is just pretty shocking news to most San Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:02:04] Obviously the Presidio is beloved. I mean, I used to live nearby. What are people worried could happen to the Presidio now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:02:13] Yeah, so not only do people like really love this park, but they’re also worried that it could turn into a land grab for real estate developers to build city developments on. And this isn’t the first time that the Bayside has been like considered for more urban development. There is this idea for a city called Marincello in the Marin Headlands, and it was proposed in the 1960s. It was supposed to be a bustling city with 30 ,000 residents and tons of new developments. And the Marin County Board of Supervisors actually approved it, but the Golden Gate National Recreation Area was then established as a result of all the legal battles of environmental activists and environmental groups coming in and trying to push back against this proposed Maroncello. So then it just didn’t happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:03:15] So there’s this history of attempts to develop on this public land. Are there current plans to build stuff in this area? Are there people saying, Hey, if you get rid of the Presidio Trust, I would love to build something here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:03:32] Well, actually, Trump proposed an idea for this concept called freedom cities. It would be like 10 different cities built on federal land. I think this was just mentioned during his campaign, but there’s this guy, the founder of Charter Cities Institute, which pretty much advocates for new independent cities with like different… methods of governing. It’s a little vague, but that’s what I’ve found on it. His name is Mark Lutter, and he actually was urging Trump on X to start developing a freedom city in the Presidio, but it’s not anything that’s actually happening right now. It’s just being talked about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:04:24] Yeah, I mean, it’s interesting, you know, we’ve obviously seen a slew of executive orders. We’ve also seen pushback in the courts. We’ve seen things walked back. With the Presidio, do you think that, you know, this could actually happen? Like, do you think that, you know, it could dramatically change from being this like public park to something private or are there other, you know, mechanisms or laws in place that are protecting it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:04:52] So because it’s such a beloved piece of land, like, this would take a really long time to happen and is unlikely that this will happen because of something passed in 1996 called the Presidio Trust Act, which incorporates the Presidio land into the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which protects it from being developed, which includes that a previous proposed Marincello area, which is the Marin Headlands, or what we know to be the Marin Headlands. So the Presidio is a part of that, and it would be very hard to work around that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:05:37] Well, Mel, I appreciate you bringing this story to us and kind of like a history behind, you know, the sort of big headline grabby story about the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:05:48] Of course, thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:05:52] We’re going to take a break. When we come back, we’ll talk about a fast track, scam texts, and where did the Falcons go in Berkeley? Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:06:10] And you’re listening to The Bay. I’m Alan Montesilio in for Erika Cruz Guevara. And this is our news roundup for the month of February. I’m here with intern Mel Velasquez and producer Jessica Carissa. And next up, we have a story that I’ve been following. FasTrak scam texts appear to be on the rise. I don’t know, have either of you gotten a text from a number saying, Hey, you didn’t pay your FasTrak bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:06:38] Oh, yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:06:39] Literally, literally all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:06:42] Yeah, I mean, apparently they are increasing. They’re getting more aggressive and more sophisticated even. I mean, I got one about three weeks ago. It was from a number in the Philippines. So I could, you know, kind of tell that it was not. to tell that it was not. Not legit, but it does say, you know, pay your fast track lane tolls by February 1st to avoid a fine and your license you can pay at, and then there’s a URL. So more and more of these, I think, attempted scams in general, but fast track in particular seems to be on the rise lately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:07:12] You know, I’ve noticed that I’ve gotten a lot of these texts. So how can you tell that this is a scam text?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:07:20] Well, currently there’s a few telltale signs. Um, one is, is oftentimes the phone number is, you know, from another country. A lot of times these messages will provide a URL to a website. Oftentimes those, that website URL will have like a series of numbers and letters. It’ll look kind of weird. Sometimes they’ll even try to imitate the URL of, you know, fast track or whatever the transit authorities try, you know, is in the region. The most recent ones I’ve gotten too, and not even just for fast track for, for texts I’ve gotten pretending to be the post office, they’ll say, please reply why then copy this link into your browser and activate it. So some of those signs are definitely there. One thing that folks have noticed recently is that the spelling in these texts has gotten much better. There are fewer mistakes. You know, usually you can tell if, if like the spelling is way off or the grammar is way off. This is probably not coming from, you know, Fast Track, but that’s gotten better. And the messaging has gotten more aggressive saying like, hey, if you don’t pay, you’re gonna lose your license. Hey, if you don’t pay, you know, you’re gonna pay a fine. But those are some of the signs, right? FasTrak has said, they will never ask you to pay over text. In fact, the only text I’ve ever gotten related to Fast Track come from 86557 and they’re only about when I’m trying to reset my online account. If it does happen to you, FasTrak says call your bank, call your credit card company. We know that law enforcement is obviously aware of this. And in fact, a spokesperson with Rob Bonta’s office, the attorney general said, don’t click on these, but they also couldn’t confirm or deny the existence of an investigation. So maybe they’re checking it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:09:07] Yeah, I’ve definitely gotten those scams before And it always freaks me out because I’m always dipping into the fast track lane I guess how do we even know that they’re increasing? I guess it’s only been anecdotal for me, but is there a way to actually report this stuff or track it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:09:24] I mean, data is a little hard, right? I mean, I just told you about a message I got. I did not report that to some agency. John Goodwin with Metropolitan Planning Commission, that’s the agency that handles transit, planning for regional projects. They also run the Bay Area seven bridges. He told the San Francisco Chronicle a few days ago that it’s been about nonstop for almost a year. There were also about 2000 reports to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center in about a two month span last year. So, you know, it is hard to, this is also a national thing. It’s not just a Bay area thing, right? In many states across the country, this is happening. So it is a little tough, but even just like having this conversation and even just in my own life, I’m noticing that I’m getting more of it. So, hard to be, you know, hard to put an exact number on it. But this is kind of, you know, I think just one of the features of our, you know, technological existence that we can get pinged by all these texts that say, you didn’t pay your bill. Have you ever like fallen for one of these or have you had to like help a relative sort of navigate this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:10:29] I haven’t, but I know that my grandpa has unfortunately fallen for one of those internet security scams. For people who didn’t grow up with the technology, it can be really scary to receive a message like that, especially threatening ones being like, you owe this much money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:10:52] Yeah. Stay vigilant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:10:54] Stay vigilant. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:11:00] Okay, and for our last story for the roundup, we have producer Jessica Kariisa. Jessica, what do you got?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:11:06] Yeah, so there’s two Peregrine Falcons who live on top of the Bell Tower at UC Berkeley. Their names are Annie and Archie. And [2.1s] they haven’t been seen since January. I first saw this reported in Berkleyside, but quite a few other news outlets have picked it up at this point because it’s a big deal. They’re a big part of the campus community and they’re missing now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:11:35] Maybe remind folks maybe who don’t live in Berkeley, who don’t walk through UC Berkeley, who are these Peregrine Falcons and why do they mean so much to people who live nearby?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:11:44] Annie has been there since 2016. [00:11:48]She’s had different partners over the years. Archie is her latest partner. [3.7s] And they’re just a really beloved part of the community. First of all, they’re peregrine falcons, which I learned are some of the fastest animals in the world. They can go over 200 miles per hour when they die. Um, you know, they’re just like amazing birds and you know, they’ve built a huge following over the years. [00:12:11]There’s a 24 hour webcam. [0.8s] There’s a dedicated website for them. They have an Instagram page with over 18,000 followers. Um, they’ve been part of the community for so long and, uh, people really care about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:12:26] Do we know anything about why they’re missing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:12:29] We don’t have a clear definitive answer. [00:12:34]You know, there’s a 24 -hour webcam [1.2s] on their nesting site and a few other perches that they like to hang out at on the bell tower. But unfortunately, the big elephant in the room is definitely bird flu. You know, bird flu has devastated, you know, avian communities all around the country, all around the Bay Area especially, you know, Newsom instituted a state of emergency towards the end of last year around bird flu. So the longer that they go missing, it seems like that might be the culprit, but they also haven’t found them and it is possible that they could come back, but the longer the time goes, the less likely it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:13:17] So they’re obviously beloved figures in Berkeley, but have they gone missing before?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:13:26] They have gone missing before. In fact, they’ve even, Berkeley’s even written an obituary before for Annie when she was gone for about a week. It’s not uncommon for them to go on hunting trips, sometimes really extended hunting trips, and there’s still the possibility that that’s what this could be. But you know, it is quite long, and I don’t think that they’ve been gone this long before. So, you know, people are getting a little bit worried. They haven’t. made any definitive statements yet about what happened to them. But yeah, we’ll just have to wait and see. Thoughts and prayers for the birds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:14:03] Yeah, come home Archie and Annie or just be safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:14:08] Yeah, we miss you Archie and Annie, come home.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And last week, the Trump administration signed an executive order to dramatically cut federal agencies, including the Presidio Trust. That would mean that that land, the park, would no longer be public land and could be up for grabs to be developed by private companies. and they’re even asking for the $200 million given to the park through the Inflation Reduction Act back. It’s really devastating. It’s the first park I ever visited in San Francisco as a kid, and that was like stunning. And I was like, one day I’m gonna live in San Francisco. So that was kind of like my first kind of my source of love for the city. All around, this is just pretty shocking news to most San Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:02:04] Obviously the Presidio is beloved. I mean, I used to live nearby. What are people worried could happen to the Presidio now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:02:13] Yeah, so not only do people like really love this park, but they’re also worried that it could turn into a land grab for real estate developers to build city developments on. And this isn’t the first time that the Bayside has been like considered for more urban development. There is this idea for a city called Marincello in the Marin Headlands, and it was proposed in the 1960s. It was supposed to be a bustling city with 30 ,000 residents and tons of new developments. And the Marin County Board of Supervisors actually approved it, but the Golden Gate National Recreation Area was then established as a result of all the legal battles of environmental activists and environmental groups coming in and trying to push back against this proposed Maroncello. So then it just didn’t happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:03:15] So there’s this history of attempts to develop on this public land. Are there current plans to build stuff in this area? Are there people saying, Hey, if you get rid of the Presidio Trust, I would love to build something here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:03:32] Well, actually, Trump proposed an idea for this concept called freedom cities. It would be like 10 different cities built on federal land. I think this was just mentioned during his campaign, but there’s this guy, the founder of Charter Cities Institute, which pretty much advocates for new independent cities with like different… methods of governing. It’s a little vague, but that’s what I’ve found on it. His name is Mark Lutter, and he actually was urging Trump on X to start developing a freedom city in the Presidio, but it’s not anything that’s actually happening right now. It’s just being talked about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:04:24] Yeah, I mean, it’s interesting, you know, we’ve obviously seen a slew of executive orders. We’ve also seen pushback in the courts. We’ve seen things walked back. With the Presidio, do you think that, you know, this could actually happen? Like, do you think that, you know, it could dramatically change from being this like public park to something private or are there other, you know, mechanisms or laws in place that are protecting it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:04:52] So because it’s such a beloved piece of land, like, this would take a really long time to happen and is unlikely that this will happen because of something passed in 1996 called the Presidio Trust Act, which incorporates the Presidio land into the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which protects it from being developed, which includes that a previous proposed Marincello area, which is the Marin Headlands, or what we know to be the Marin Headlands. So the Presidio is a part of that, and it would be very hard to work around that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:05:37] Well, Mel, I appreciate you bringing this story to us and kind of like a history behind, you know, the sort of big headline grabby story about the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:05:48] Of course, thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:05:52] We’re going to take a break. When we come back, we’ll talk about a fast track, scam texts, and where did the Falcons go in Berkeley? Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:06:10] And you’re listening to The Bay. I’m Alan Montesilio in for Erika Cruz Guevara. And this is our news roundup for the month of February. I’m here with intern Mel Velasquez and producer Jessica Carissa. And next up, we have a story that I’ve been following. FasTrak scam texts appear to be on the rise. I don’t know, have either of you gotten a text from a number saying, Hey, you didn’t pay your FasTrak bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:06:38] Oh, yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:06:39] Literally, literally all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:06:42] Yeah, I mean, apparently they are increasing. They’re getting more aggressive and more sophisticated even. I mean, I got one about three weeks ago. It was from a number in the Philippines. So I could, you know, kind of tell that it was not. to tell that it was not. Not legit, but it does say, you know, pay your fast track lane tolls by February 1st to avoid a fine and your license you can pay at, and then there’s a URL. So more and more of these, I think, attempted scams in general, but fast track in particular seems to be on the rise lately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:07:12] You know, I’ve noticed that I’ve gotten a lot of these texts. So how can you tell that this is a scam text?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:07:20] Well, currently there’s a few telltale signs. Um, one is, is oftentimes the phone number is, you know, from another country. A lot of times these messages will provide a URL to a website. Oftentimes those, that website URL will have like a series of numbers and letters. It’ll look kind of weird. Sometimes they’ll even try to imitate the URL of, you know, fast track or whatever the transit authorities try, you know, is in the region. The most recent ones I’ve gotten too, and not even just for fast track for, for texts I’ve gotten pretending to be the post office, they’ll say, please reply why then copy this link into your browser and activate it. So some of those signs are definitely there. One thing that folks have noticed recently is that the spelling in these texts has gotten much better. There are fewer mistakes. You know, usually you can tell if, if like the spelling is way off or the grammar is way off. This is probably not coming from, you know, Fast Track, but that’s gotten better. And the messaging has gotten more aggressive saying like, hey, if you don’t pay, you’re gonna lose your license. Hey, if you don’t pay, you know, you’re gonna pay a fine. But those are some of the signs, right? FasTrak has said, they will never ask you to pay over text. In fact, the only text I’ve ever gotten related to Fast Track come from 86557 and they’re only about when I’m trying to reset my online account. If it does happen to you, FasTrak says call your bank, call your credit card company. We know that law enforcement is obviously aware of this. And in fact, a spokesperson with Rob Bonta’s office, the attorney general said, don’t click on these, but they also couldn’t confirm or deny the existence of an investigation. So maybe they’re checking it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:09:07] Yeah, I’ve definitely gotten those scams before And it always freaks me out because I’m always dipping into the fast track lane I guess how do we even know that they’re increasing? I guess it’s only been anecdotal for me, but is there a way to actually report this stuff or track it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:09:24] I mean, data is a little hard, right? I mean, I just told you about a message I got. I did not report that to some agency. John Goodwin with Metropolitan Planning Commission, that’s the agency that handles transit, planning for regional projects. They also run the Bay Area seven bridges. He told the San Francisco Chronicle a few days ago that it’s been about nonstop for almost a year. There were also about 2000 reports to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center in about a two month span last year. So, you know, it is hard to, this is also a national thing. It’s not just a Bay area thing, right? In many states across the country, this is happening. So it is a little tough, but even just like having this conversation and even just in my own life, I’m noticing that I’m getting more of it. So, hard to be, you know, hard to put an exact number on it. But this is kind of, you know, I think just one of the features of our, you know, technological existence that we can get pinged by all these texts that say, you didn’t pay your bill. Have you ever like fallen for one of these or have you had to like help a relative sort of navigate this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:10:29] I haven’t, but I know that my grandpa has unfortunately fallen for one of those internet security scams. For people who didn’t grow up with the technology, it can be really scary to receive a message like that, especially threatening ones being like, you owe this much money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:10:52] Yeah. Stay vigilant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:10:54] Stay vigilant. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:11:00] Okay, and for our last story for the roundup, we have producer Jessica Kariisa. Jessica, what do you got?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:11:06] Yeah, so there’s two Peregrine Falcons who live on top of the Bell Tower at UC Berkeley. Their names are Annie and Archie. And [2.1s] they haven’t been seen since January. I first saw this reported in Berkleyside, but quite a few other news outlets have picked it up at this point because it’s a big deal. They’re a big part of the campus community and they’re missing now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:11:35] Maybe remind folks maybe who don’t live in Berkeley, who don’t walk through UC Berkeley, who are these Peregrine Falcons and why do they mean so much to people who live nearby?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:11:44] Annie has been there since 2016. [00:11:48]She’s had different partners over the years. Archie is her latest partner. [3.7s] And they’re just a really beloved part of the community. First of all, they’re peregrine falcons, which I learned are some of the fastest animals in the world. They can go over 200 miles per hour when they die. Um, you know, they’re just like amazing birds and you know, they’ve built a huge following over the years. [00:12:11]There’s a 24 hour webcam. [0.8s] There’s a dedicated website for them. They have an Instagram page with over 18,000 followers. Um, they’ve been part of the community for so long and, uh, people really care about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:12:26] Do we know anything about why they’re missing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:12:29] We don’t have a clear definitive answer. [00:12:34]You know, there’s a 24 -hour webcam [1.2s] on their nesting site and a few other perches that they like to hang out at on the bell tower. But unfortunately, the big elephant in the room is definitely bird flu. You know, bird flu has devastated, you know, avian communities all around the country, all around the Bay Area especially, you know, Newsom instituted a state of emergency towards the end of last year around bird flu. So the longer that they go missing, it seems like that might be the culprit, but they also haven’t found them and it is possible that they could come back, but the longer the time goes, the less likely it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:13:17] So they’re obviously beloved figures in Berkeley, but have they gone missing before?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:13:26] They have gone missing before. In fact, they’ve even, Berkeley’s even written an obituary before for Annie when she was gone for about a week. It’s not uncommon for them to go on hunting trips, sometimes really extended hunting trips, and there’s still the possibility that that’s what this could be. But you know, it is quite long, and I don’t think that they’ve been gone this long before. So, you know, people are getting a little bit worried. They haven’t. made any definitive statements yet about what happened to them. But yeah, we’ll just have to wait and see. Thoughts and prayers for the birds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:14:03] Yeah, come home Archie and Annie or just be safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Measure BB also stipulates that landlords and tenants bargain in good faith — and if the landlord fails to do so, tenants can petition the city for a rent reduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Berkeley has a very strong, uniquely strong tenant union system,” Arbaugh said. “If there’s a violation of the lease, that really ought to go both ways.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arbaugh said tenants association members can operate on behalf of the entire building when it comes to better living conditions and more affordable rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the main goals is just to put collective pressure on the leasing company and management company to kind of meet maintenance requests as well as the promises that were guaranteed in our lease,” said Hala El Solh, another member of the tenants association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, El Solh said she didn’t know it was within her rights as a tenant to request an electrician until she talked to her neighbor, who did so successfully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That kind of information sharing is one of the primary reasons that we have this association,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other tenant protections in Measure BB include a 5% cap on how much landlords can increase the rent each year, down from 7%, and a requirement that landlords provide a notice of tenants rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure BB passed with 56% of the vote in November.
