I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

This week, they \u003ca href=\"http://www.almanacnews.com/news/2015/11/11/filoli-head-cynthia-dagosta-is-no-longer-with-organization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">got an email\u003c/a> from Filoli’s executive committee alerting them to the departure of Executive Director Cynthia D’Agosta and the search for an interim replacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Did she resign? Was she fired? The email doesn’t say, and a spokeswoman for Filoli wouldn’t elaborate. But the timing raises eyebrows, as Filoli’s biggest annual event, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.filoli.org/holiday-traditions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Holiday Traditions\u003c/a>,” begins the day after Thanksgiving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last winter, after D’Agosta required all volunteers to sign a new legal agreement to continue at Filoli, roughly 100 left.

Cities get a new stream of revenue, and platforms gain legitimacy by coming to terms with the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Cities should go ahead and make their units subject to the transit occupancy tax right away,\" says Karen Chapple, a professor of urban planning at UC Berkeley. \"Why not take that first move, while we're still figuring out that regulation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreements are not always a precursor to more expansive regulation, however.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"dsJkDW2CH7xicOk57plk0fXUutQfDqfv\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Santa Clara is the most recent California city to begin collecting taxes from Airbnb, and officials there say they have no intention of taking on legislation to regulate short-term rentals. When the City Council \u003ca href=\"http://sireweb.santaclaraca.gov/sirepub/cache/2/eq14msd1nepqabvo0spvym1q/7294861105201512165731.PDF\" target=\"_blank\">passed a tax agreement\u003c/a> in September, the chief concern of many members seemed to be whether the deal would go into effect fast enough to collect taxes from renters during the Super Bowl, which the city hosts in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to be proactive in capturing revenue for the Super Bowl,\" City Attorney Richard Nosky told the council in September. \"Our code does not have any use restrictions on rentals ... so we didn't see a need to regulate short-term rentals and kick that rock.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, short-term rentals have been seen as a direct threat to permanent rental units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Santa Clara, that's not the case. Many of our homes are occupied by one or two people,\" says Mayor Jamie Matthews. \"This will give people an opportunity to try out what it's like to be able to have part of their home or accessory unit rented. That might lead to additional affordable housing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One ready use for that new stream of tax revenue would be to offset the loss of affordable housing units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We shouldn't set up a regulatory system that is going to cost us a lot of money to implement,\" Chapple says. \"Ideally, what we want to do with this hotel tax revenue coming in is put it into an affordable housing trust fund.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>High Cost of Enforcement\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the beachside city of Santa Monica made headlines by enacting a ban on the short-term rental of a full unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regulation was more straightforward than the rules in San Francisco. By banning all rentals of a full unit and placing no restrictions on hosts renting out a spare bedroom, the city doesn't need to keep track of the number of nights a unit was rented. Under San Francisco's ordinance, full unit rentals are capped at 90 nights a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, as Santa Monica begins its enforcement effort in earnest, it's finding it needs to devote every penny of the hotel tax in that direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The money that we are going to collect on the now-legal short-term vacation rentals is only enough to pay for the two code people and staff analyst to do effective enforcement against the illegal ones that were doing us so much damage,\" says Santa Monica Mayor Kevin McKeown. \"So it's probably going to be revenue-neutral for the city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Airbnb has been loath to give cities like San Francisco and Santa Monica specific data on rentals that might aid enforcement.

Cities get a new stream of revenue, and platforms gain legitimacy by coming to terms with the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Cities should go ahead and make their units subject to the transit occupancy tax right away,\" says Karen Chapple, a professor of urban planning at UC Berkeley. \"Why not take that first move, while we're still figuring out that regulation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreements are not always a precursor to more expansive regulation, however.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Santa Clara is the most recent California city to begin collecting taxes from Airbnb, and officials there say they have no intention of taking on legislation to regulate short-term rentals. When the City Council \u003ca href=\"http://sireweb.santaclaraca.gov/sirepub/cache/2/eq14msd1nepqabvo0spvym1q/7294861105201512165731.PDF\" target=\"_blank\">passed a tax agreement\u003c/a> in September, the chief concern of many members seemed to be whether the deal would go into effect fast enough to collect taxes from renters during the Super Bowl, which the city hosts in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to be proactive in capturing revenue for the Super Bowl,\" City Attorney Richard Nosky told the council in September. \"Our code does not have any use restrictions on rentals ... so we didn't see a need to regulate short-term rentals and kick that rock.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, short-term rentals have been seen as a direct threat to permanent rental units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Santa Clara, that's not the case. Many of our homes are occupied by one or two people,\" says Mayor Jamie Matthews. \"This will give people an opportunity to try out what it's like to be able to have part of their home or accessory unit rented. That might lead to additional affordable housing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One ready use for that new stream of tax revenue would be to offset the loss of affordable housing units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We shouldn't set up a regulatory system that is going to cost us a lot of money to implement,\" Chapple says. \"Ideally, what we want to do with this hotel tax revenue coming in is put it into an affordable housing trust fund.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>High Cost of Enforcement\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the beachside city of Santa Monica made headlines by enacting a ban on the short-term rental of a full unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regulation was more straightforward than the rules in San Francisco. By banning all rentals of a full unit and placing no restrictions on hosts renting out a spare bedroom, the city doesn't need to keep track of the number of nights a unit was rented. Under San Francisco's ordinance, full unit rentals are capped at 90 nights a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, as Santa Monica begins its enforcement effort in earnest, it's finding it needs to devote every penny of the hotel tax in that direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The money that we are going to collect on the now-legal short-term vacation rentals is only enough to pay for the two code people and staff analyst to do effective enforcement against the illegal ones that were doing us so much damage,\" says Santa Monica Mayor Kevin McKeown. \"So it's probably going to be revenue-neutral for the city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Airbnb has been loath to give cities like San Francisco and Santa Monica specific data on rentals that might aid enforcement.

We’re just trying to get ourselves into this century.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new guidelines require volunteers to donate their services, perform duties as assigned, allow Filoli to use photos for promotional purposes and pay for medical costs incurred by accident, illness or injury associated with volunteering. Opinions vary about the various stipulations, but far and away, the most controversial one with volunteers is this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Release and indemnification: I agree that I, my successors, assignees, heirs, guardians, and legal representatives will not make a claim of any negligence, personal injury, wrongful death or property damage against Filoli and its employees, officers and agents for claims and liability which was incurred as a part of my participation in volunteer activities, including my travel to and from Filoli.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>D’Agosta says the governing board of Filoli and the board of Filoli’s volunteer group, Friends of Filoli, began to draft a new set of volunteer guidelines, one that would require a signature, after an unspecified event in 2011. She says they “wanted a better way to deal with getting volunteers to follow guidelines and to dismiss them when necessary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement did not go over well with a number of volunteers, many of them long-timers at Filoli, which was built in the early 20th century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I myself have been a house flower arranger for over 22 years,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2013/05/01/telling-it-with-flowers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kiwi DeVoy\u003c/a>, of Atherton. “That dedication and love you can’t pay for. They say three years ago there was a small problem. They’re using a hammer to kill a gnat. You don’t just throw down a piece of paper before 1,300 volunteers and say ‘Sign it.’ ” DeVoy says several volunteers took the agreement to their attorneys, who advised against signing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I myself have been a house flower arranger for over 22 years. That dedication and love you can’t pay for.’ \u003ccite>Kiwi DeVoy, of Atherton\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>D’Agosta says the document was modeled on those used by other nonprofits. But as a growing number of volunteers expressed concern about that particular clause, and stories about the conflict began emerging in \u003ca href=\"http://www.almanacnews.com/news/2015/02/25/editorial-whats-behind-the-filoli-fiasco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Almanac\u003c/a>, Filoli allowed those who wished to strike out that passage to do so, as long as they signed the rest of the document by March 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVoy chose to go that route. She says, “It’s very hard to walk away, when you have invested so much time and effort and love [in] something as special and unique as Filoli. It’s not just another local park.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D’Agosta says management is still tabulating the agreements, and can’t say yet what percentage of the signers struck out the indemnification paragraph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not using that clause any longer, so talking about it is kind of a moot point, but that clause was meant to keep us from having frivolous lawsuits. If a volunteer were injured here within their scope of work, and using the guidelines, we are not going to abandon them. I mean, these people have worked for many, many years for us, and this is a family here.” D’Agosta adds Filoli has “generous” liability insurance to cover staff and volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may be adding 1,050 and 100 together and coming up 150 volunteers hundred short of 1,300. D’Agosta isn’t counting those considered inactive: traveling, on leaves of absence or emeritus. Add in those, she notes, and “at any one time, we have 100-200 volunteers who are inactive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the people who didn’t sign are emeritus, which is to say they’re no longer active, but stay on the books and the invitation list for park and volunteer events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10448070\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/RS14453_JudyHarris-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10448070 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/RS14453_JudyHarris-qut-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"Judy Harris of Redwood City is no longer an emeritus volunteer at Filoli after refusing to sign the new volunteer agreement. “There was no transparency.

There was no give and take.” \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Judy Harris of Redwood City volunteered for more than 36 years. She opted for emeritus status last August, but “I have been informed that I am no longer emeritus status because I refused to sign [the agreement].” Over the years, she has been a docent, a docent trainer, a tea service manager and a flower arranger. “It’s probably one of the most beautiful gardens in the United States,” Harris says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s not a fan of this administration, but then she hasn’t felt enthusiastic about the last three directors. Is there any way for management to win Harris back? “That would take a world turned over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D’Agosta acknowledges a “couple things went awry with the rollout” of the agreement. She says committee chairs got the agreement in November and were asked to wait a month to tell rank-and-file volunteers, after management sent out a package full of supporting information. “One person didn’t wait, and sent it out early, and that set it off on the wrong foot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D’Agosta adds: “There’s a misunderstanding among some volunteers about their authority here. That was what they called into question in my mind, was their authority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filoli has also gone on the offense to recast the way the conflict has been perceived beyond the estate. Management hired an outside public relations firm, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.kamergroup.com/\">Kamer Consulting Group\u003c/a> of Oakland. They issued a press release taking issue with press coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In recent days there have been a number of inaccurate or incomplete media reports concerning Filoli and our volunteers. These reports suggested a level of division within the organization that is exaggerated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recent local press coverage has certainly stood in stark contrast to the kind of glowing story that the size and dedication of Filoli’s volunteer force usually generates, like this one from Stanford’s journalism school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkFicGjkvd0&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next couple of months, D’Agosta says Filoli will hold “different gatherings to clear the air.” Representatives from the National Trust will come out in mid-March to answer questions. D’Agosta says she’s been in “constant” contact with the Trust, “and they are very supportive of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She adds there will be a new agreement eventually. “I wouldn’t say near future. I think it’ll be awhile. I think we’re going to let it rest now for awhile, and you can know that the next time it comes up, there will be broader community discussions about it before it happens.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

They say three years ago there was a small problem. They’re using a hammer to kill a gnat.

If a volunteer were injured here within their scope of work, and using the guidelines, we are not going to abandon them. I mean, these people have worked for many, many years for us, and this is a family here.” D’Agosta adds Filoli has “generous” liability insurance to cover staff and volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may be adding 1,050 and 100 together and coming up 150 volunteers hundred short of 1,300. D’Agosta isn’t counting those considered inactive: traveling, on leaves of absence or emeritus. Add in those, she notes, and “at any one time, we have 100-200 volunteers who are inactive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the people who didn’t sign are emeritus, which is to say they’re no longer active, but stay on the books and the invitation list for park and volunteer events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10448070\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/RS14453_JudyHarris-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10448070 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/RS14453_JudyHarris-qut-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"Judy Harris of Redwood City is no longer an emeritus volunteer at Filoli after refusing to sign the new volunteer agreement. “There was no transparency.

She opted for emeritus status last August, but “I have been informed that I am no longer emeritus status because I refused to sign [the agreement].” Over the years, she has been a docent, a docent trainer, a tea service manager and a flower arranger. “It’s probably one of the most beautiful gardens in the United States,” Harris says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s not a fan of this administration, but then she hasn’t felt enthusiastic about the last three directors. Is there any way for management to win Harris back? “That would take a world turned over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D’Agosta acknowledges a “couple things went awry with the rollout” of the agreement. She says committee chairs got the agreement in November and were asked to wait a month to tell rank-and-file volunteers, after management sent out a package full of supporting information. “One person didn’t wait, and sent it out early, and that set it off on the wrong foot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D’Agosta adds: “There’s a misunderstanding among some volunteers about their authority here. That was what they called into question in my mind, was their authority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filoli has also gone on the offense to recast the way the conflict has been perceived beyond the estate. Management hired an outside public relations firm, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.kamergroup.com/\">Kamer Consulting Group\u003c/a> of Oakland. They issued a press release taking issue with press coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In recent days there have been a number of inaccurate or incomplete media reports concerning Filoli and our volunteers. These reports suggested a level of division within the organization that is exaggerated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recent local press coverage has certainly stood in stark contrast to the kind of glowing story that the size and dedication of Filoli’s volunteer force usually generates, like this one from Stanford’s journalism school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/tkFicGjkvd0'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/tkFicGjkvd0'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next couple of months, D’Agosta says Filoli will hold “different gatherings to clear the air.” Representatives from the National Trust will come out in mid-March to answer questions.

Fewer than 95 percent, and the initiative is deemed dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what happened to Six Californias on Friday afternoon.

But the campaign struggled to gather signatures quickly enough, and backers then shifted their focus to the November 2016 ballot — which gave them until midsummer. Draper spent $5.2 million of his own money to gather those signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when news broke of the failed effort, he responded with defiance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Six Californias collected more than enough signatures,” he said in an emailed statement, “and we are confident that a full check of the signatures would confirm that fact.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Draper says his team’s own internal projections “predicted a much higher validity rate of signatures,” and that they will now review some of the signatures deemed invalid in certain counties … thus leaving open the door for a formal challenge to the rejection of the measure by Secretary of State Debra Bowen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is unfortunate that the current, archaic, system has delayed this process,” said Draper in his statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n“Six Californias was a solution in search of a problem.” –Former Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Opponents of the state-splitting measure reveled in the news of its demise, arguing that Draper and his supporters weren’t really serious about fixing what’s broken in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Six Californias was a solution in search of a problem that didn’t address any of our state’s challenges,” said former Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez, chair of the opposition campaign, in an emailed statement. “The implosion of this ballot measure spares us from a two-year campaign of bashing our great state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://verdict.justia.com/2014/01/03/political-constitutional-questions-raised-tim-drapers-six-californias-plan-split-california\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Numerous legal experts doubted the measure, an amendment to the California state constitution, would have passed muster in the courts, to say nothing of Capitol Hill, where lawmakers have a role under federal law in any proposal to add states to the union\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Draper, a minor player in state politics before this effort and a brief member of the state Board of Education, seemed to revel in the national conversation his measure sparked — even when he, and the idea, were being lampooned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m tired of the whole idea of a melting pot in America,” comedian Stephen Colbert told Draper in July. “I believe the metaphor you’re going for is one of those Tupperware things, where you get to seal off every container.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #000000;width: 520px\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 4px\">\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://media.mtvnservices.com/embed/mgid:arc:video:colbertnation.com:0c245c53-4e2a-4b1f-ad80-a3ca47cb3452\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;background-color: #ffffff;padding: 4px;margin-top: 4px;margin-bottom: 0px;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12px\">\u003cb>\u003ca href=\"http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/\">The Colbert Report\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\nGet More: \u003ca href=\"http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/full-episodes/\">Daily Show Full Episodes\u003c/a>,\u003ca href=\"http://www.comedycentral.com/indecision\">Indecision Political Humor\u003c/a>,\u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/thecolbertreport\">The Colbert Report on Facebook\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\n",

Fewer than 95 percent, and the initiative is deemed dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what happened to Six Californias on Friday afternoon.

The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/immunize/Documents/Pertussis_Report_6-10-2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Department of Public Health reported 809 new cases of the infection\u003c/a>, bringing the 2014 total to 3,458. That's 1,000 more cases than all of last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four Bay Area communities have been hit particularly hard: Sonoma, Napa and Marin counties and Berkeley, which reports separately from the rest of Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overall state incidence rate is about 9 cases per 100,000 people, the CDPH says. But for Sonoma County the rate is 103 per 100,000; in Napa it's 65, and in Marin it's 53. Berkeley's rate is lower — 25 per 100,000; but that's three times higher than the rate for Alameda County as a whole. The rest of the Bay Area reports rates between a low of 6 per 100,000 in Santa Clara County and 17 per 100,000 in Solano County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDPH said this year's epidemic is due at least in part to the cyclical nature of pertussis, which officials say peaks every three to five years.
