Among the daunting challenges they’ll have to tackle is a budgetary shortfall of more than $53 billion, according to an updated projection by the California Department of Finance. The massive fiscal hole reflects declining tax revenues, record unemployment and expenditures the state has made to address the public health crisis caused by the coronavirus. Meanwhile, other long-standing challenges loom, from boosting affordable housing to fighting climate change and helping ailing school districts.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember David Chiu, D-San Francisco\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember James Gallagher, R-Yuba City\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Not ‘Business as Usual’ for Retailers Ready to Reopen\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Weeks of sheltering in place have taken a heavy toll on retailers. This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom began loosening restrictions for some of them as the state transitions from phase one to phase two of reopening this Friday. Clothing stores and sporting goods stores, for example, can reopen with social distancing in place for curbside pickup and delivery. Dine-in restaurants, shopping malls and offices must remain closed for now. Counties may still implement stricter rules if they feel their region is not yet prepared to reopen.\u003c/span> \u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Debra Knick, owner, Sonoma Outfitters\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tina Ferguson, owner, Face in a Book\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>When the Venue Is Your Home: A Film Festival Goes Virtual\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next week, the Center for Asian American Media launches CAAMFest, a film festival that for nearly four decades has celebrated Asian American storytelling with screenings and events for Bay Area audiences. But this year, for the first time in its history, the 10-day festival will be held entirely online because of the coronavirus pandemic. Starting next Wednesday, more than 20 free digital programs will launch, from discussions with filmmakers to live performances and watch parties that showcase the diversity and creativity of Asian American artists. With the theme of “heritage at home,” this year’s festival is also a bold experiment that may signal the future of engaging film festival audiences wherever they are. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Masashi Niwano, festival director, CAAMFest\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

Meanwhile, other long-standing challenges loom, from boosting affordable housing to fighting climate change and helping ailing school districts.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember David Chiu, D-San Francisco\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember James Gallagher, R-Yuba City\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Not ‘Business as Usual’ for Retailers Ready to Reopen\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Weeks of sheltering in place have taken a heavy toll on retailers. This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom began loosening restrictions for some of them as the state transitions from phase one to phase two of reopening this Friday. Clothing stores and sporting goods stores, for example, can reopen with social distancing in place for curbside pickup and delivery. Dine-in restaurants, shopping malls and offices must remain closed for now. Counties may still implement stricter rules if they feel their region is not yet prepared to reopen.\u003c/span> \u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Debra Knick, owner, Sonoma Outfitters\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tina Ferguson, owner, Face in a Book\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>When the Venue Is Your Home: A Film Festival Goes Virtual\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next week, the Center for Asian American Media launches CAAMFest, a film festival that for nearly four decades has celebrated Asian American storytelling with screenings and events for Bay Area audiences. But this year, for the first time in its history, the 10-day festival will be held entirely online because of the coronavirus pandemic. Starting next Wednesday, more than 20 free digital programs will launch, from discussions with filmmakers to live performances and watch parties that showcase the diversity and creativity of Asian American artists. With the theme of “heritage at home,” this year’s festival is also a bold experiment that may signal the future of engaging film festival audiences wherever they are. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While the department is required to ensure districts comply with the law, the report found that of the 2,300 local educational agencies in California, CDE has only been monitoring about 20 each year — less than 1%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Democratic Assemblyman David Chiu, one of the lawmakers who called for the audit, expressed outrage over the failures identified in the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is unacceptable that we are monitoring less than 1% of the programs in the state. The department needs to monitor many more programs,” he said. “They haven’t been supporting schools, materials have been out of date, which can be updated, training modules haven’t been released that could be released. There are very concrete steps we can take.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For its part, CDE has blamed these deficiencies on a lack of resources, but the audit points out that the department had yet to conduct an analysis to see what kind of resources might be needed to effectively oversee districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDE did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but in its \u003ca href=\"https://www.auditor.ca.gov/reports/2019-104/responses.html#AUDITEE2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">feedback\u003c/a> to the auditor, the department agreed with most of the recommendations and said its staff is working toward implementing them.

It wasn't immediately clear if were satisfied with Newsom's proposal, which would not change that state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California needs to build about 180,000 new homes each year to meet demand for its nearly 40 million people. But the state has averaged 80,000 new homes in each of the past 10 years, according to a report from the California Department of Housing and Community Development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, lawmakers proposed a number of bills that would have addressed the crisis, but many of them failed to pass.

The cost of inflation would be determined on a regional basis, meaning it could be a different percentage in San Francisco than in the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal still needs to clear the state Legislature, which adjourns for the year in two weeks.

It wasn't immediately clear if were satisfied with Newsom's proposal, which would not change that state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California needs to build about 180,000 new homes each year to meet demand for its nearly 40 million people. But the state has averaged 80,000 new homes in each of the past 10 years, according to a report from the California Department of Housing and Community Development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, lawmakers proposed a number of bills that would have addressed the crisis, but many of them failed to pass.

They’re fighting it and a related proposal to bar private colleges from deriving more than 85 percent of their tuition revenue from government financial aid programs. Both bills passed in the Assembly’s higher education committee Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gainful employment has been a failure,” said Robert Johnson, executive director of the California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools. “It assumes everyone goes to work 40 hours a week, they don’t get into a car crash, they don’t go to jail. That’s crazy to put that [responsibility] back on the school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates, however, see the proposals as necessary restraints on a for-profit career training industry that relies heavily on public money but has been plagued by poor outcomes and, in some cases, outright fraud.

It would allow cities across the region to get access to technical assistance that they may not already have.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea for the regional entity — dubbed the Housing Alliance for the Bay Area (HABA) — was birthed from CASA, a committee of elected officials, developers and affordable housing advocates who \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11720131/the-bay-areas-biggest-push-for-a-regional-housing-solution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drew up a set of ideas\u003c/a> to ease the housing affordability crisis in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ideas included emergency rent and legal assistance to tenants facing eviction, a regional rent cap, streamlined approval for more developments and minimum zoning standards for housing around transit stops. Many of those ideas have already been introduced in the state Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee also drafted a price tag for their list of solutions: $2.5 billion annually over the next 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 1487 would give state authority to HABA to raise up to $1.5 billion through ballot measures voted on in all nine counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[It] would allow for funding to be raised regionally and spent regionally,” Chiu said. “It would allow tenants from across the region to access services, even if their city doesn’t have tenant services available. It would allow cities across the region to get access to technical assistance that they may not already have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entity would not have any land use authority, and while it could purchase land for affordable housing, it would not be able to take property through eminent domain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 1487 proposes that the governing body be split between local mayors, council members and supervisors who serve on the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), along with appointees of the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even some supporters of CASA have argued against the creation of a new housing government, particularly one that could include unelected appointees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t personally think having a separate agency is necessary, given that we have ABAG and MTC, which is made up of elected representatives from throughout the region,” said Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin in January, when \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11719212/despite-strong-opposition-bay-area-officials-endorse-ambitious-regional-affordable-housing-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABAG reviewed the regional housing ideas\u003c/a>. “I think that’s a role that we can play as the regional planning entity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would be up to the Alliance to determine what tax proposals end up on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"California's Housing Crisis\" tag=\"housing-crisis\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CASA Compact suggested a suite of ideas, including a regionwide parcel tax on property owners, a new fee on developers, increased taxes on businesses, a regionwide sales tax increase and direct contributions from local governments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters say the regional approach to taxes would ease the burden on cities that currently have to go to the ballot individually to raise funds for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They point to measures to fund affordable housing in San Jose and Santa Rosa that failed in the November election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HABA’s plans for spending the tax money — sending cash and legal assistance to tenants, buying properties to build affordable units, and paying for planners to help cities prepare for development — could be particularly helpful to cities and towns that lack the resources to take on those initiatives now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some jurisdictions have a lot of staff and revenue but there’s a wide range within the region,” said Amie Fishman, executive director of the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California. “So having a regional strategy will also help to generate the local solutions that are needed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate bill in the state Legislature could make it easier to pass a regional housing tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200ACA1\">Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1\u003c/a> would lower the threshold needed to pass a sales tax or parcel tax from two-thirds to 55 percent, if the funds are used for infrastructure or affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
