Officials know this, she says, because the majority of those ballots that have previously been too late to count have been postmarked on the day immediately after Election Day: “which tells us that people likely put their ballots inside mailboxes that had already been picked up, or took them to post offices that had already closed for the day,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840819\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11840819\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mailing or dropping off your ballot on time is of paramount importance. \u003ccite>(Element5 Digital/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The issue of lateness is exactly why it’s recommended that voters return their ballots early, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States Post Office recommended mailing your ballot no less than one week before Election Day — so if you’re reading this a few days before Nov. 3, and you \u003cem>haven’t\u003c/em> submitted your ballot yet, at this stage it’s recommended you submit it by hand at a drop box specifically for vote-by-mail ballots, rather than using a USPS collection box.

If you didn’t register and decide you want to vote in person, you can register via what’s called \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a> (also known as Conditional Voter Registration.) If you’re doing this on Election Day itself, you can register and vote at the same time at your polling place — \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place\">find your voting location here.\u003c/a> The deadline to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/\">register online to vote\u003c/a> is October 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are registered to vote, ballots will be sent out in California by October 5 — so you should expect to receive your ballot by around October 15, Alexander says. This is another good reason to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835370/wheres-my-ballot-track-your-mail-in-vote-with-new-tool#signup\">sign up to track your ballot’s progress\u003c/a>, and be reassured if it’s on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if there’s no sign of your ballot? Again, Alexander says, don’t panic, because “there are a lot of fail safes in the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One helpful warning sign, Alexander says: “If you’re not getting anything about the election in the mail, you probably aren’t registered to vote at your current address.” \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">Check your registration details \u003c/a>and address, and if they’re incorrect, update them ASAP before the voter registration deadline of October 19, 15 days before Election Day. Your county elections will then cancel any previous ballot mailed out so that it won’t be counted, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail\">send you a new ballot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your county election office won’t mail you a ballot six days or less before Election Day, because it can’t be sure it’ll reach you in time. So if you’re trying to get a ballot in the immediate run-up to November 3, go to your county elections office in person and request one at the counter. And remember, you always still have the option of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a>, a.k.a Conditional Voter Registration at a voting location, where you can then fill out and submit your ballot, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if You Use Assistive Technology to Complete Forms?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Remember, getting physical assistance with filling out your ballot from someone you trust is always fine, whether you’re voting at home or at a voting site. You just need to make sure your signature is your own, and matches the one you’re registered to vote with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters with disabilities can also choose to use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/remote-accessible-vote-mail\">Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail \u003c/a>system to vote privately and independently at home, using their usual assistive device on their home computer to fill out the ballot on their screen and then print and mail it. (This year, Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail is actually available to all voters who need it, under emergency legislation passed earlier this year in light of COVID-19.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every voting location in California is also equipped with an accessible voting unit. Here, voters who are sight-impaired or have a disability that limits their dexterity will be able to use the assistive device of their choice that allows them to vote privately and independently.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Tip: Look Out For the Young Voters in Your Life\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11837810/study-finds-young-voters-more-likely-to-have-mail-ballots-rejected\">Young voters are the most likely to have their ballots rejected\u003c/a>, according to the data — and there are good reasons for that, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most obviously, they’re newer to voting in general. But they’re also likely to be less familiar with how the U.S. Postal Service works, especially when it comes to issues like collection times and post office hours. Younger people are more likely to conduct a lot of their business online, and therefore have less familiarity with activities that require a written signature on paper, like writing checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>Younger voters, Alexander says, also get their ballots rejected more frequently than other voters due to signature mismatch. Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think that’s really stemming from the fact that many of them are pre-registering to vote, or registering at a very young age before they’ve actually formed a signature,” she says — especially if they’re making that signature with a stylus while registering at the DMV.

But, Kim Alexander says, the problem isn’t usually ballots arriving too late; it’s that they’re being postmarked too late. And it’s not necessarily a case of people sending them after Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more likely problem is that some people are just sending them too late in the day \u003cem>on\u003c/em> Election Day itself, says Alexander. Officials know this, she says, because the majority of those ballots that have previously been too late to count have been postmarked on the day immediately after Election Day: “which tells us that people likely put their ballots inside mailboxes that had already been picked up, or took them to post offices that had already closed for the day,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840819\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11840819\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mailing or dropping off your ballot on time is of paramount importance. \u003ccite>(Element5 Digital/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The issue of lateness is exactly why it’s recommended that voters return their ballots early, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States Post Office recommended mailing your ballot no less than one week before Election Day — so if you’re reading this a few days before Nov. 3, and you \u003cem>haven’t\u003c/em> submitted your ballot yet, at this stage it’s recommended you submit it by hand at a drop box specifically for vote-by-mail ballots, rather than using a USPS collection box.

If you registered to vote at a young age, maybe your signature has changed over time. Or perhaps you registered to vote at the DMV and provided your signature on a screen with a stylus, which doesn’t \u003cem>quite\u003c/em> replicate how you’d make your signature with a pen, on paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you registered this way, one simple way to avoid any signature problems is to take a quick glance at the signature that’s on your driver’s license or state I.D. — because that’s the one you want your ballot signature to match.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you didn’t register at the DMV itself, that signature on your most recent license or state I.D. is still very likely the one to emulate. That’s because when you register to vote online, your county elections office electronically requests a copy of the signature the DMV \u003cem>currently\u003c/em> has for you, and this information is regularly updated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To further set your mind at rest, know that California isn’t an “exact match” state, and doesn’t demand voters’ signatures 100% replicate the signature that’s on file. We’ve got even\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841547/i-made-a-mistake-on-my-ballot-how-do-i-fix-it\"> more information about signature matching here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11841492\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 580px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11841492\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Signature.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Signature.png 580w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Signature-160x99.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The signature space on a San Francisco ballot — instructions vary county by county, so it’s important to check yours \u003ccite>(Lisa Pickoff-White/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What if you still get it wrong?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckily, there’s a whole system in place to help you correct your mistake. If your county’s election office detects a signature mismatch on your ballot, they’ll reach back out to you via mail to verify and work with you to correct it, so that your ballot can be counted after all.

Counties have to contact voters at least six days before they certify their election results and give voters up until two days before they certify their election results to “cure” their signatures. And remember: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835370/wheres-my-ballot-track-your-mail-in-vote-with-new-tool#signup\">sign up to track your ballot\u003c/a>, and you’ll find out about any issues with your ballot or your signature quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the way, here at KQED we’ve had several audience questions asking whether the date required on the signature section should be the date you signed your ballot, or your birthdate. It’s the first one: the date you signed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Don’t Mail an Empty Envelope\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sounds unlikely, maybe, but it happens. According to The Associated Press, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/a45421048cd89938df7c882891a97db5\">more than 800 envelopes were mailed in California’s March primary without any ballots inside\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keeping your envelope and your ballot together in your home might be a helpful way of avoiding this problem. And of course, when you’re ready to mail your ballot, make sure it’s actually inside the envelope before you seal it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"mistake\">\u003c/a>What if You Make a Mistake on Your Ballot?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>First, don’t panic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People make mistakes on ballots, and find good ways to correct them. Counties give different directions to voters about what to do if they make a mistake (remember: read the instructions!) but you can usually simply “X” out the choice you didn’t intend, Alexander says, and put in your correct choice. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841547/i-made-a-mistake-on-my-ballot-how-do-i-fix-it\">More information about correcting mistakes.\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Voters do all kinds of creative things with their ballots,” she says, and the job of county elections officials — once they’ve verified your signature — is to make sure your ballot can be read correctly. If that means that your corrections on your ballot have resulted in readability issues, officials working in teams of two will actually remake it for you according to the intent you’ve signaled with your corrections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11840826\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2.png 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if you don’t feel you \u003cem>can\u003c/em> fix your mistake, or you’ve somehow damaged your ballot (or straight-up just spilled coffee on it?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexander says you have multiple options:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Call your county elections office and ask them to cancel that ballot and issue a new one to you\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Go to your county elections office with your spoiled ballot and vote right there at the counter during business hours\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Take advantage of the \u003ca href=\"https://caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov/\">early voting options\u003c/a> available in many counties\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Go to a voting site on Election Day, turn in your spoiled ballot there and get a new ballot\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"track\">\u003c/a>What if You Didn’t Get a Ballot at All?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you aren’t registered to vote in California, you won’t be sent a ballot automatically. If you didn’t register and decide you want to vote in person, you can register via what’s called \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a> (also known as Conditional Voter Registration.) If you’re doing this on Election Day itself, you can register and vote at the same time at your polling place — \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place\">find your voting location here.\u003c/a> The deadline to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/\">register online to vote\u003c/a> is October 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are registered to vote, ballots will be sent out in California by October 5 — so you should expect to receive your ballot by around October 15, Alexander says. This is another good reason to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835370/wheres-my-ballot-track-your-mail-in-vote-with-new-tool#signup\">sign up to track your ballot’s progress\u003c/a>, and be reassured if it’s on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if there’s no sign of your ballot? Again, Alexander says, don’t panic, because “there are a lot of fail safes in the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One helpful warning sign, Alexander says: “If you’re not getting anything about the election in the mail, you probably aren’t registered to vote at your current address.” \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">Check your registration details \u003c/a>and address, and if they’re incorrect, update them ASAP before the voter registration deadline of October 19, 15 days before Election Day. Your county elections will then cancel any previous ballot mailed out so that it won’t be counted, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail\">send you a new ballot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your county election office won’t mail you a ballot six days or less before Election Day, because it can’t be sure it’ll reach you in time. So if you’re trying to get a ballot in the immediate run-up to November 3, go to your county elections office in person and request one at the counter. And remember, you always still have the option of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a>, a.k.a Conditional Voter Registration at a voting location, where you can then fill out and submit your ballot, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You just need to make sure your signature is your own, and matches the one you’re registered to vote with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters with disabilities can also choose to use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/remote-accessible-vote-mail\">Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail \u003c/a>system to vote privately and independently at home, using their usual assistive device on their home computer to fill out the ballot on their screen and then print and mail it. (This year, Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail is actually available to all voters who need it, under emergency legislation passed earlier this year in light of COVID-19.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every voting location in California is also equipped with an accessible voting unit. Here, voters who are sight-impaired or have a disability that limits their dexterity will be able to use the assistive device of their choice that allows them to vote privately and independently.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Tip: Look Out For the Young Voters in Your Life\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11837810/study-finds-young-voters-more-likely-to-have-mail-ballots-rejected\">Young voters are the most likely to have their ballots rejected\u003c/a>, according to the data — and there are good reasons for that, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most obviously, they’re newer to voting in general. But they’re also likely to be less familiar with how the U.S. Postal Service works, especially when it comes to issues like collection times and post office hours. Younger people are more likely to conduct a lot of their business online, and therefore have less familiarity with activities that require a written signature on paper, like writing checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>Younger voters, Alexander says, also get their ballots rejected more frequently than other voters due to signature mismatch. Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think that’s really stemming from the fact that many of them are pre-registering to vote, or registering at a very young age before they’ve actually formed a signature,” she says — especially if they’re making that signature with a stylus while registering at the DMV. Her advice, once again: Check the signature on your driver’s license or state I.D., and make sure it matches what you’re signing on your ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840829\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11840829\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Make sure the young voters in your life get the support they need this election season \u003ccite>(Daniel Xavier/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All this, Alexander says, means younger voters “have a knowledge gap there that they have to overcome.” So if you’re able to spend five minutes helping out a young person in your life who wants to vote this year, it’s time well spent.

That warning, issued by the National Weather Service, also covers the East Bay Hills and Diablo Range, the Santa Cruz mountains and Los Padres National Forest, where the \u003ca href=\"https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7018/\">Dolan Fire\u003c/a> is burning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire officials have warned residents to be vigilant about calling in any new fires they spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NWSBayArea/status/1311717082208165888\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really have a tough 24 hours ahead of us as we go through this weather pattern,” said Cal Fire Deputy Chief Jonathan Cox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that cooler more favorable weather conditions are forecast for later this weekend, when firefighters expect to make good progress containing the Glass Fire. “But really we’re focussed right now on the next 24-hour operational period to really do as much as we can to protect the community that are threatened out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1311465354833530881\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday morning the blaze had destroyed at least 36 single-family homes in Sonoma County, along the eastern edge of Santa Rosa, and 107 homes in Napa County, according to Cal Fire. However, by Thursday evening the number of homes destroyed increased to 67 in Sonoma and 153 in Napa Couty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of evacuation orders or warnings in and around Santa Rosa and unincorporated Sonoma County have been recently downgraded or lifted, with some neighborhoods starting to repopulate. But tens of thousands of residents in both counties \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU\">remain under existing orders\u003c/a> to leave their homes — including almost 13,000 in Santa Rosa alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My main message for you today is that more evacuations are possible,” Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said at a Thursday afternoon briefing. He reminded residents to be prepared by signing up for emergency updates, keeping cellphones charged, having at least a half a tank of gas in the tank and packing a go-bag with valuables and medication. And if residents hear a hi-lo siren, he added, that means “it’s time to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa County, the fire was “impinging” on the city of Calistoga and the hillside community of Argwin to the southeast, both of which remain under evacuation orders, said Cal Fire Operations Chief Mark Brunton. “It’s not into [Calistoga] city limits by any stretch at this point, but it is something we are closely watching, monitoring and taking action on,” he said at Thursday afternoon briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New evacuation orders were also issued Thursday for all areas north of Calistoga between Highway 128, the Sonoma County line and Highway 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derek Webb, who owns Triple S Ranch in Calistoga, refused to leave despite the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think everybody has to judge their own risk. I’ve seen way too many fires where a homeowner has stayed behind and saved his entire property with a garden hose,” Webb said, noting that he had cleared brush to create a defensible space around his 20-acre property. “I’m not saying it’s for everyone,” he added. “For me, I will always be able to take that risk just because I have confidence in myself and what I’m doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire on Thursday was also pushing toward Oakville, a hamlet south of St. Helena, near the Robert Mondavi winery. It also remained very active farther north in the rural Palisades area near Mt. St. Helena, where firefighters have been stymied by steep terrain and heavy fuels, Cal Fire’s Brunton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840691\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11840691\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1020x808.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-160x127.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1536x1217.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-2048x1623.png 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1920x1521.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glass Fire perimeter as of Thursday morning, Oct. 1. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Cal Fire)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fire crews were also closely watching the Highway 29 corridor on the valley floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is going to be a concern moving forward, because of the wine industry being what it is, and this time of year being critical for them,” Brunton said. “They are allowed to operate at this point in time to harvest their crops. … So we are going to be watching that closely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sonoma County’s Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, just across the county line, crews had made progress containing the blaze, but the flames still posed a “potential threat” to the nearby communities of Kenwood and Glen Ellen, located about halfway between between Santa Rosa and the town of Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Highway 12 corridor heading into Santa Rosa — an area under serious threat earlier in the week — was “looking much better,” he added, as was the nearby area along Calistoga Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dione Carston, a homeowner in the Deer Park neighborhood of St. Helena, evacuated the area with her husband early Sunday morning — the fourth time she’s had to flee her home in the last five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SherazSadiq1/status/1311410132438274048?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, she managed to sneak back onto her property to discover that the sprinkler her husband had hurriedly installed on the roof had saved the house and their two pet turkeys, even as the flames claimed the horse barn on their seven-acre property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need a reprieve, we need a break, it’s too much and I don’t dare ask, ‘What else?’, because I believe the universe will open and show you what else it can give you,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://sonomacounty.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=69a0e54e9e2b48c086d122027b21c961\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burning between the scars of several recent blazes, the Glass Fire is devouring critically dry brush and grass that has not burned for at least 70 years, and has not been rained on for five months, making containment efforts all the more challenging, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 2,100 firefighters have been assigned to fight the blaze — in alternating 24-hour shifts — aided by a fleet of dozers, helicopters and air tankers, Cal Fire officials said.

However, by Thursday evening the number of homes destroyed increased to 67 in Sonoma and 153 in Napa Couty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of evacuation orders or warnings in and around Santa Rosa and unincorporated Sonoma County have been recently downgraded or lifted, with some neighborhoods starting to repopulate. But tens of thousands of residents in both counties \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU\">remain under existing orders\u003c/a> to leave their homes — including almost 13,000 in Santa Rosa alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My main message for you today is that more evacuations are possible,” Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said at a Thursday afternoon briefing. He reminded residents to be prepared by signing up for emergency updates, keeping cellphones charged, having at least a half a tank of gas in the tank and packing a go-bag with valuables and medication. And if residents hear a hi-lo siren, he added, that means “it’s time to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa County, the fire was “impinging” on the city of Calistoga and the hillside community of Argwin to the southeast, both of which remain under evacuation orders, said Cal Fire Operations Chief Mark Brunton. “It’s not into [Calistoga] city limits by any stretch at this point, but it is something we are closely watching, monitoring and taking action on,” he said at Thursday afternoon briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New evacuation orders were also issued Thursday for all areas north of Calistoga between Highway 128, the Sonoma County line and Highway 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derek Webb, who owns Triple S Ranch in Calistoga, refused to leave despite the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think everybody has to judge their own risk. I’ve seen way too many fires where a homeowner has stayed behind and saved his entire property with a garden hose,” Webb said, noting that he had cleared brush to create a defensible space around his 20-acre property. “I’m not saying it’s for everyone,” he added. “For me, I will always be able to take that risk just because I have confidence in myself and what I’m doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire on Thursday was also pushing toward Oakville, a hamlet south of St. Helena, near the Robert Mondavi winery. It also remained very active farther north in the rural Palisades area near Mt. St. Helena, where firefighters have been stymied by steep terrain and heavy fuels, Cal Fire’s Brunton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840691\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11840691\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1020x808.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-160x127.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1536x1217.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-2048x1623.png 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1920x1521.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glass Fire perimeter as of Thursday morning, Oct. 1. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Cal Fire)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fire crews were also closely watching the Highway 29 corridor on the valley floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is going to be a concern moving forward, because of the wine industry being what it is, and this time of year being critical for them,” Brunton said. “They are allowed to operate at this point in time to harvest their crops. … So we are going to be watching that closely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sonoma County’s Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, just across the county line, crews had made progress containing the blaze, but the flames still posed a “potential threat” to the nearby communities of Kenwood and Glen Ellen, located about halfway between between Santa Rosa and the town of Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Highway 12 corridor heading into Santa Rosa — an area under serious threat earlier in the week — was “looking much better,” he added, as was the nearby area along Calistoga Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And when fire spreads rapidly, some residents don’t have the time or means to evacuate pets and livestock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the North Bay, that’s where local organizations like the \u003ca href=\"https://napacart.org/\">Napa Community Animal Response Team\u003c/a> (CART) step in. CART volunteers travel behind evacuation lines to rescue pets and livestock, coordinate donations of feed and supplies and care for animals staying in shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Claudia Sonder, president of Napa CART and an equine veterinarian, told KQED during the Glass Fire in 2020 that planning ahead is crucial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We talk about humans being prepared for disaster, but we don’t often talk about preparing your animals for disaster,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Preparing for evacuation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Here are a few things you can do to prepare your animals before evacuating:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Make an evacuation plan for livestock and practice evacuating more than once ahead of time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Fill out a luggage tag with the animal’s name and your contact information; the tag can be braided into a horse’s mane and attached to a horn or ear tag.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Prepare a go-bag for your pets and livestock with: food for at least three days; leashes, halters or harnesses; medication; your vet’s contact information; and instructions for feeding and any medical needs.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Microchip your pets, and make sure the microchip contact information is up to date.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Be sure to have photos of your animals for identification purposes.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.aspca.org/sites/default/files/preparedness_for_pets_sep_2015.pdf\">Find more information from the ASPCA here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moving horses and other farm or ranch animals out of danger requires a large truck and stock trailer. During fire weather warnings, hitch your trailer to the truck and keep it pointed toward the road to save time during evacuation. If you don’t have the equipment to move large animals, CART coordinates volunteers with trailers who will haul animals to shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonder says it’s also important to make sure your animals practice evacuating so that they’ll get into the trailer when the time comes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a beautiful 34-year-old horse down in the shelter, Big Jim. He needed a ride and just gracefully got right on that trailer. At that same location, we had two other horses that we could not load,” Sonder said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/turfstarwolf/status/1310371737444298752\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>If evacuating with your animals isn’t an option\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When the 2020 Glass Fire broke out, the CART team evacuated dozens of horses, cows, sheep, goats and other farm animals. They also moved 150 cats out of a rescue facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If animals cannot be evacuated, here are a few things you can do to keep them safe:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Remove blankets, collars, halters and fly masks.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Give them as much space as possible, without allowing access to any roads.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Fill all water bowls or troughs.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Turn on any sprinkler so the animal has a moist refuge.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If possible, give the animal access to an irrigated orchard, lawn or vineyard.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Sonder said animals are smart, and that if they’re able to, they will go to safety. “The majority of animals that I find in the field after a fire that are deceased are the ones that couldn’t get away from the fire directly,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840401\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11840401\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/GettyImages-1277043520-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/GettyImages-1277043520-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/GettyImages-1277043520-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/GettyImages-1277043520-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/GettyImages-1277043520-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/GettyImages-1277043520-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/GettyImages-1277043520-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Goats that escaped their enclosure are rounded up as the Glass Fire burns nearby on Sept. 27, 2020, in St. Helena, California. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Where to evacuate your animals\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Below is a list of organizations and locations in the North Bay that have assisted with animal evacuations during previous wildfires.

During fire weather warnings, hitch your trailer to the truck and keep it pointed toward the road to save time during evacuation. If you don’t have the equipment to move large animals, CART coordinates volunteers with trailers who will haul animals to shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonder says it’s also important to make sure your animals practice evacuating so that they’ll get into the trailer when the time comes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a beautiful 34-year-old horse down in the shelter, Big Jim. He needed a ride and just gracefully got right on that trailer. At that same location, we had two other horses that we could not load,” Sonder said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And it’s even worse for affordable housing, which \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/LIHTC_Construction_Costs_March_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">averaged $480,000\u003c/a> per unit across the state in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High construction costs are \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/Making_It_Pencil_The_Math_Behind_Housing_Development.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one big reason\u003c/a> why rents and home prices in California are also some of the highest in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the construction industry has also been one of the slowest to innovate. It’s a $10 trillion operation, globally, employing a whopping 7 percent of the world’s population, according to a 2017 \u003ca href=\"https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/McKinsey/Industries/Capital%20Projects%20and%20Infrastructure/Our%20Insights/Reinventing%20construction%20through%20a%20productivity%20revolution/MGI-Reinventing-construction-A-route-to-higher-productivity-Full-report.ashx\">McKinsey & Company report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report found that, globally, productivity in the construction industry has increased an average of 1% a year over the past two decades, compared with 2.8% for the total world economy and 3.6% for manufacturing. In the U.S., many industries, including agriculture and manufacturing, have increased their productivity by 1500%, while productivity in construction has barely budged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s new podcast, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/podcasts/soldout\">SOLD OUT: Rethinking Housing in America, \u003c/a>takes a look at one solution that’s trying to “hack” the system: factory-built housing, also known as prefabricated or modular housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC6877722347\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an idea that’s been around for over a century, but it hasn’t always worked. Listen to the second episode, “Prefabulous”, to hear why some people think modular housing construction could now be the big innovation to help us out of our housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just the construction industry’s unwillingness or inability to change that’s driving high housing costs. Here are some other reasons why housing is so expensive to build in California:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Land\u003c/strong> is just \u003ca href=\"https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-18-637\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more expensive in California\u003c/a> than other places. In the Golden State, the cost of land is about 12% of total construction costs, compared to about 5% in other states.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Labor\u003c/strong> is \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/02/25/hidden-cost-of-housing-how-a-shortage-of-construction-workers-is-making-our-crisis-worse/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">also more expensive\u003c/a>. One reason: After the Great Recession in 2008, a lot of construction workers \u003ca href=\"https://www.jlconline.com/article/constructions-exodus-of-labor_c#:~:text=What%20is%20evident%20to%20the,shortage%20of%20skilled%20workers%20in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">left the industry\u003c/a>, creating a shortage of skilled workers. To top it off, the construction boom that followed has far outpaced the growth in the construction industry. \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/LIHTC_Construction_Costs_March_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">An analysis\u003c/a> by the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley found that the number of permitted housing units grew by 430% between 2009 and 2018, while the number of workers grew only 32% during that same time period.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Density restrictions \u003c/strong>that limit how many apartments can be built on one lot also adds to the cost. As the size of a building increases, developers are able to take advantage of economies of scale, reducing the cost per apartment. But opposition to large affordable apartment buildings makes it difficult to get projects approved. Researchers at the Terner Center \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/LIHTC_Construction_Costs_March_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spoke to one developer\u003c/a> who said, “It is impossible to overstate the continued resistance to new affordable development in most cities in California.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The \u003cstrong>complexity of financing\u003c/strong> affordable housing projects is another big factor when it comes to developing housing for low-income people in particular. \u003ca href=\"https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-18-637\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A report\u003c/a> by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that affordable housing projects in California had an average of six different funding sources, which contribute to a project’s “soft costs,” which includes things like legal fees, consultants, and appraisals. In California, soft costs added around 14% to the total cost of construction, compared to 7% nationwide. \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/LIHTC_Construction_Costs_March_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Another report\u003c/a> from the Terner Center found that, on average, \u003cem>each\u003c/em> additional source of funding on a project added $6,400 \u003cem>per unit\u003c/em> in total development costs.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Development fees, \u003c/strong>which cities impose on developers to pay for things like street lighting, sidewalk improvements or sewage upgrades, also contribute to higher costs for housing. The same \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/LIHTC_Construction_Costs_March_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Terner Center report\u003c/a> found that development fees on affordable housing developments added about $16,600 per unit.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003carticle class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-components-Post-components-PostMinisite-___PostMinisite__mpost\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>For more in-depth reporting on the housing crisis, check out our new podcast, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/podcasts/soldout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SOLD OUT: Rethinking Housing in America\u003c/a>.

Listen to the second episode, “Prefabulous”, to hear why some people think modular housing construction could now be the big innovation to help us out of our housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just the construction industry’s unwillingness or inability to change that’s driving high housing costs. Here are some other reasons why housing is so expensive to build in California:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Land\u003c/strong> is just \u003ca href=\"https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-18-637\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more expensive in California\u003c/a> than other places. In the Golden State, the cost of land is about 12% of total construction costs, compared to about 5% in other states.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Labor\u003c/strong> is \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/02/25/hidden-cost-of-housing-how-a-shortage-of-construction-workers-is-making-our-crisis-worse/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">also more expensive\u003c/a>. One reason: After the Great Recession in 2008, a lot of construction workers \u003ca href=\"https://www.jlconline.com/article/constructions-exodus-of-labor_c#:~:text=What%20is%20evident%20to%20the,shortage%20of%20skilled%20workers%20in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">left the industry\u003c/a>, creating a shortage of skilled workers. To top it off, the construction boom that followed has far outpaced the growth in the construction industry. \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/LIHTC_Construction_Costs_March_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">An analysis\u003c/a> by the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley found that the number of permitted housing units grew by 430% between 2009 and 2018, while the number of workers grew only 32% during that same time period.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Density restrictions \u003c/strong>that limit how many apartments can be built on one lot also adds to the cost. As the size of a building increases, developers are able to take advantage of economies of scale, reducing the cost per apartment. But opposition to large affordable apartment buildings makes it difficult to get projects approved. Researchers at the Terner Center \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/LIHTC_Construction_Costs_March_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spoke to one developer\u003c/a> who said, “It is impossible to overstate the continued resistance to new affordable development in most cities in California.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The \u003cstrong>complexity of financing\u003c/strong> affordable housing projects is another big factor when it comes to developing housing for low-income people in particular. \u003ca href=\"https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-18-637\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A report\u003c/a> by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that affordable housing projects in California had an average of six different funding sources, which contribute to a project’s “soft costs,” which includes things like legal fees, consultants, and appraisals. In California, soft costs added around 14% to the total cost of construction, compared to 7% nationwide. \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/LIHTC_Construction_Costs_March_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Another report\u003c/a> from the Terner Center found that, on average, \u003cem>each\u003c/em> additional source of funding on a project added $6,400 \u003cem>per unit\u003c/em> in total development costs.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Development fees, \u003c/strong>which cities impose on developers to pay for things like street lighting, sidewalk improvements or sewage upgrades, also contribute to higher costs for housing. The same \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/LIHTC_Construction_Costs_March_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Terner Center report\u003c/a> found that development fees on affordable housing developments added about $16,600 per unit.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003carticle class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-components-Post-components-PostMinisite-___PostMinisite__mpost\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>For more in-depth reporting on the housing crisis, check out our new podcast, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/podcasts/soldout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SOLD OUT: Rethinking Housing in America\u003c/a>.
