His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"scraig":{"type":"authors","id":"11327","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"11327","found":true},"name":"Sarah Craig","firstName":"Sarah","lastName":"Craig","slug":"scraig","email":"scraig@KQED.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":[],"title":"KQED Contributor","bio":"Sarah Craig is a freelance radio reporter and documentary photographer.

Megaprojects require years, if not decades, of planning and face challenges such as regulatory hurdles, complex environmental cleanup and difficulty lining up financing. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Dayona Johnson, resident, Brooklyn Basin\"]‘I’m a strong believer that your environment and where you live really sets the tone for how your day is going to go.’[/pullquote]After two decades, Brooklyn Basin is only about one-third of the way through development. Reaching completion could take another decade — and that’s a best-case scenario, which rarely happens with housing development in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We always thought [Brooklyn Basin] would be a big project,” said Mike Ghielmetti, CEO of Signature Development, the lead developer of the project. “It has a large acreage. It’s on the waterfront. It’s close to transit. It’s close to jobs. It’s a former industrial site that really wanted to be something different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The site was once a bustling dock where Mormon travelers from New York disembarked in Oakland off a ship named the Brooklyn in the mid-1800s. Brooklyn was also the name of a town that was later annexed by Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The area’s mix of industrial buildings, warehouses, marinas and a ship terminal were largely abandoned when the Port of Oakland selected Signature Development to buy the land for $18 million in 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five years later, the city approved Signature’s development proposal. Securing more approvals from various state and local agencies took another four years. Then came a series of legal battles from groups claiming the project did not meet state environmental laws. Other opponents wanted to convert the entire site into a park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the challenges were resolved in 2011, the real estate industry was reeling from the Great Recession, which made it hard to secure a construction loan. Signature finally broke ground in 2014 after Zarsion, a Chinese company, stepped in as a partner with $1.5 billion in financing.

So we’re really trying to figure out how to connect with those folks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, builders have constructed six mid-rise buildings with more than 1,000 apartments — three market-rate buildings and three of the affordable subsidized housing buildings. About 1,500 residents have moved in since leasing began in late 2019.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Sara Ubelhart, owner, Zocalo Coffee and Kitchen\"]‘What really attracted me was the Commons — so much space outside, people outside using it, kids skating and on their bikes, and just all this community happening outside.’[/pullquote]The first was the 241-unit Orion building, which opened just months before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold. Last year, tenants began filling up the 241-unit Artizan Apartments. This month, the first phase of the 378-unit Caspian will welcome its first residents. Rents start around $2,000 per month for a studio and range up to $5,300 for a three-bedroom apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that the project is successful, people say, ‘Oh, yeah, I’ve always loved that project,’” Ghielmetti said. “But there were a group of folks that didn’t and sued and delayed it. Those parks could have been opened five, eight years earlier. And the housing should have been there five, eight years earlier.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area has not built nearly enough housing to keep up with job and population growth for the past few decades, according to Sarah Karlinsky, a housing and land use policy expert with SPUR, a San Francisco-based planning and urban development think tank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/sites/default/files/2021-05/SPUR_What_It_Will_Really_Take_To_Create_An_Affordable_Bay_Area_Report.pdf\">2021 report from SPUR (PDF)\u003c/a> found that the nine-county Bay Area added about 360,000 homes between 2000 and 2018, about one-third of what was needed. The organization estimates that the Bay Area needs to produce at least 2.2 million more homes by 2070, or roughly 45,000 units per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a megaproject can add thousands of homes to a city’s inventory, Karlinsky said, that is significant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if our future population growth is not as strong as our prior population growth, we still have an affordability crisis, we still have incredibly expensive housing,” she said. “We’ve actually pushed out a lot of our low- and middle-income households to either far-flung portions of the region, outside of the region to the Central Valley or to other states entirely. And that is not healthy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All over the Bay Area, developers and city planners are reimagining numerous sites, including former industrial parks, military bases or massive parking lots. Treasure Island, a former naval station, is slated for more than 8,000 homes. Google is crafting plans for about 5,900 homes in downtown San José near Diridon Station. The San Francisco Giants are converting 28 acres of former surface parking in Mission Bay into 1,200 homes and 1.7 million square feet of commercial space. In San Mateo, developers have turned the former Bay Meadows Racetrack into an urban village now home to tech company offices, 1,000 homes, parks, restaurants and breweries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Megaprojects] are not going to solve our housing crisis. But without them, we have no chance of solving our housing crisis,” said Matt Regan, senior vice president of public policy for the Bay Area Council, a business advocacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s lengthy and complicated development process could be faster for smaller projects, Karlinsky said, but megaprojects are a different category.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are going to be people’s homes for generations, right? So you really want to make sure you get the environmental right. You want to make sure that you get the planning right,” she said. “They are the sort of projects that I would say are deserving of more community input and more scrutiny. And so, they do take a really long time to get done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, nonprofit developer MidPen Housing signed on to build the affordable housing component of Brooklyn Basin, including four subsidized buildings for older adults with lower-income, families and formerly unhoused people. Those units will make up around 14% of all the homes in Brooklyn Basin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three of these affordable housing projects, including the one where Johnson lives, are completed and have added 341 homes that are now occupied. The fourth, a 124-unit building, is under construction. The cost of all four buildings, funded by a combination of local, state and federal grants and loans, is around $340 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11953200\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11953200\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66339_230615-brooklyn-basin-239-ks.NEF-08-ks-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A man in a plaid sport coat leans on a railing while standing in front of the bright green exterior paneling of a building and large windows.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1331\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66339_230615-brooklyn-basin-239-ks.NEF-08-ks-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66339_230615-brooklyn-basin-239-ks.NEF-08-ks-KQED-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66339_230615-brooklyn-basin-239-ks.NEF-08-ks-KQED-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66339_230615-brooklyn-basin-239-ks.NEF-08-ks-KQED-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66339_230615-brooklyn-basin-239-ks.NEF-08-ks-KQED-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66339_230615-brooklyn-basin-239-ks.NEF-08-ks-KQED-1920x1278.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">MidPen Housing President Matt Franklin stands for a portrait on the rooftop patio of an affordable housing complex in Brooklyn Basin on June 15, 2023.

The area was noisy thanks in part to frequent sideshows. The worst part was the violence, she said. She packed up and left after a shooting in her building.

Gavin Newsom are poised to enact a package of bills that aim to speed up lawsuits that entangle large projects, such as solar farms and reservoirs, and relax protection of about three dozen wildlife species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom and Senate and Assembly leaders \u003ca href=\"https://www.senate.ca.gov/content/analyses\">unveiled the five bills\u003c/a> earlier this week as they negotiated the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2023/06/california-budget-deal-what-you-need-to-know/\">state’s $310 billion 2023-24 budget\u003c/a>.

The bills include an urgency clause — meaning they would take effect immediately when Newsom signs but they also will require a two-thirds vote to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hearings have been scheduled for committees in both houses today.

The wide-ranging collection of bills take aim at broad swaths of state environmental policies shaping how state agencies approve large projects. For instance, the plan to build the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2023/02/california-sites-reservoir/\">Sites reservoir\u003c/a> to add dams and store more Sacramento River water has been stalled for years as it undergoes environmental reviews and engineering planning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the bills \u003ca href=\"https://www.senate.ca.gov/sites/senate.ca.gov/files/senate_select_committee_on_infrastructure_streamlining_and_workforce_equity_-_sb_149_ceqa_judicial_streamlining_final.pdf\">sets a time limit (PDF)\u003c/a> for legal challenges for specified water, transportation and energy projects under the landmark California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which can entangle projects in court for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another gives the state Department of Fish and Wildlife new authority to issue permits \u003ca href=\"https://www.senate.ca.gov/sites/senate.ca.gov/files/senate_select_committee_on_infrastructure_streamlining_and_workforce_equity_-_sb_147_fps_final.pdf\">allowing species that are designated “fully protected,” (PDF)\u003c/a> such as the greater sandhill crane and golden eagle, to be harmed by similar types of projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compromise that Newsom and lawmakers reached seems to have accomplished what compromises rarely do: Environmentalists \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2023/05/gavin-newsom-ceqa-reform/\">who initially criticized Newsom’s package\u003c/a> say they are satisfied with the changes, and businesses and water agencies, which \u003ca href=\"https://antr.assembly.ca.gov/sites/antr.assembly.ca.gov/files/June%207%2C%202022%20Info%20Hearing%20Documents.pdf\">have backed the package from the beginning (PDF)\u003c/a>, support the changes, too.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘It’s good that it’s resolved, and that it’s better than it was and that the budget was able to move forward.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
