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.",

She approaches race and equity not as a beat, but as a fundamental lens for all investigative and explanatory reporting.\r\n\r\nSandhya covered policing, housing, social justice movements, and the shifting demographics of cities and suburbs.\r\n\r\nShe was the creator and co-host of the podcast American Suburb, about the transformation of suburbia into the most diverse space in American life. She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

"content": "\u003cp>The Oakland A’s are proposing an ambitious plan for a new waterfront ballpark just north of Jack London Square. It would include an intimate stadium surrounded by high-rise buildings, and a gondola from the downtown Oakland BART station that would shuttle fans over the I-880 freeway. The team is also proposing to re-develop the Coliseum site in East Oakland. KQED’s Tara Siler and Nina Thorsen discussed the announcement, which was made Wednesday at the A’s headquarters and at \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandballpark.com\">www.oaklandballpark.com\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler:\u003c/strong> Describe what this stadium would look like — they’re calling it a “jewel box” — what does that mean?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nina Thorsen:\u003c/strong> Well, it’s small — 34,000 seats. That’s much smaller than the Coliseum, smaller than the Giants’ AT&T Park, in fact it would be one of the smallest in Major League Baseball. It’s intimate, as you said — all the seats are close to the field, it doesn’t have the big foul territory or the high upper deck of the Coliseum. It’s a very contemporary design. It’s nothing like the retro brick ballparks such as AT&T that have been fashionable for the last 20 years, although there is a subtle homage to the Athletics’ original home in Philadelphia, Shibe Park. There are some neat features like a “harbor bath” — a swimming pool just outside the ballpark — and a green roof perimeter, so you’d be able to walk in a park-like area all the way around the roof level of the stadium. Some of the iconic Port of Oakland cranes that are on the site now would be incorporated into the design. And there’d be some terraced areas where fans without tickets would still be able to look into the ballpark from outside, sort of like the rooftops that overlook Wrigley Field in Chicago. The idea is it would be a destination and a public space, even when there isn’t a game happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> What are the A’s saying about this idea for a gondola — how is that going to work?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> The gondola is one solution to the problem of how to get people from BART down to Jack London Square and the ballpark, because there’s a freeway and railroad tracks in the way. So this would be an aerial tram that would go from downtown, over the freeway and the tracks, and possibly terminate at one of the port cranes that are being incorporated into the stadium design. But my sense is the gondola isn’t a make-or-break aspect of the design. If it doesn’t work out, or even if it does, there will be other transit alternatives. But this is definitely going to be a transit-first ballpark, not like the Coliseum surrounded by surface parking lots. The A’s say there are more than 10,000 parking spaces within walking distance of the stadium already, but relatively few will be built as part of the ballpark development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> How real is this proposal?

But what’s different this time is that the major players were all at the table for this press conference. Literally at the table — team President Dave Kaval, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, president of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, Nate Miley, president of the Oakland City Council, Larry Reid, and president of the Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland, Ces Butner. So they’ve all signed on to the concept.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of details remain to be fleshed out — for example, would the A’s buy out Alameda County’s share of the Coliseum property, or would the city buy the county out and lease the property back to the A’s? But Mayor Schaaf said the relationship between the city and the team is closer than it has ever been. “It’s like we’re dating exclusively,” she said. “We’re not looking anywhere else. We’re in a courtship right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> So if this relationship works out — how much is this project going to cost?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> The A’s are not saying yet. There are too many variables for them to have a firm figure.

Taxpayers would not be contributing anything to the project directly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> And what would be the vision for the Coliseum property — because there was also talk about rebuilding a stadium on that site?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> The idea is adaptive reuse, keeping the footprint of the current Coliseum baseball diamond itself, taking down the ballpark around it, so it would become a place for youth and community baseball. The rendering shows an area of outdoor amphitheater seating around it, so it could be used for different community events and gatherings. They envision keeping Oracle Arena where it is and revamping it for concerts and public gatherings. The A’s Kaval said that in the neighborhood meetings that the team has hosted along with councilmember Larry Reid, who represents East Oakland, people repeatedly said they didn’t want a Wal-Mart or something like that to stand on the ground where the Raiders and A’s and Warriors have celebrated so many championships. “We heard from so many people in East Oakland,” Kaval said, “that people want to have pride in what’s at the Coliseum site — ballpark or no ballpark.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, there would be commercial development on the greater part of the Coliseum site beyond the current ballpark — it’s part of how the team would expect to finance the ballpark operations. The plan shows housing, both affordable and market-rate, office, retail and a tech campus. But there would also be a lot of green space that, in part, is intended to help insulate other parts of East Oakland from the effects of rising sea levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> What’s the next step in the process to getting this stadium built?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> On Friday, the A’s will start the CEQA [California Environmental Quality Act] process, which will take a year even in its expedited form — it was fast-tracked by a bill passed by the Legislature a few months ago. And while that environmental impact process goes on, they will work out the details of financing and ownership with the city, the county and the port, and work on the details of the design. If all goes well, they hope to have the new stadium ready to move in for Opening Day 2023. The A’s will continue to play at the Coliseum until then, so the major components of that reuse plan would have to wait, but Kaval said they might start some parts earlier if it doesn’t impact stadium operations or parking.\u003c/p>\n\n",

They’re called CubeSats, and they’re about the size of briefcases. Cal Poly students in San Luis Obispo had a hand in their departure from Earth and the data the devices are sending back from Mars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kate Parkinson and few other students stood in the back of a conference room in Cal Poly’s Student Union and watched the final minutes of \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/tech/watch-live-insight-set-mars-landing-nasa-braces-seven-minutes-ncna940061\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">InSight’s decent to Mars Monday afternoon\u003c/a>. Parkinson held her hands over her mouth as a NASA operator counted down the approaching distance to the Red Planet. Everyone clapped when NASA engineers announced InSight had successfully landed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My class starts right now, but this is a little bit more important than missing 10 minutes of class,” Parkinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parkinson is a member of \u003ca href=\"http://www.polysat.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PolySat\u003c/a>, a student-run, a multi-discipline research lab on the Cal Poly campus. The 20-year-old aerospace major said there are about 80 students in the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[We’re] one of the bigger CubeSat university programs in the nation,” Parkinson said. “Which is helped by the fact that [CalPoly is] where the CubeSat standard started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1999, CubeSats were developed at Cal Poly to test out new, smaller space technologies. Since then, more than 800 have been launched into space. The little, blocky satellites aren’t too expensive to build and send up — only a few million dollars, rather than a price tag in the hundreds of millions. Most CubeSats are used for small space data experiments that aren’t worth the cost of major satellite launches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory\u003c/a> built the CubeSats for this Mars mission. \u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/cubesat/missions/marco.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Their names are \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/cubesat/missions/marco.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MarCO\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/cubesat/missions/marco.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">-A and \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/cubesat/missions/marco.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MarCO\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/cubesat/missions/marco.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">-B, for Mars Cube One\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, Cal Poly students got the chance to work on the device that deployed them into space during the launch. And for the past six months, PolySat lab students have been tracking and interpreting the data from the CubeSats as InSight traveled to Mars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nineteen-year-old computer engineering major Ryan Statz said he got to interpret the raw data, or telemetry, relayed from the CubeSats back to earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wrote some software that goes through and looks at the data and puts it in a readable format and aids in their operations,” Staz said. “Looking at the CubeSats: are they healthy? Basically, daily checkups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I worked on correlations between the satellite clocks and earth time because there are different delays,” said Kate Parkinson. “It was an awesome experience, to be able to say I worked on and helped with data from satellites going to Mars.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A pretty big deal for a Parkinson’s and Statz’ resumes. And for science. CubeSats have never been outside earth’s orbit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the first time CubeSats have been launched interplanetary,” Parkinson said. “It was honestly a question if they would make it to Mars alive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CubeSats did survive and \u003ca href=\"https://spacenews.com/marco-success-vindicates-use-of-cubesats-on-deep-space-missions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">successfully relayed InSight landing information back to Earth Monday. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With their mission complete, the CubeSats will soar past Mars, deeper into space, relaying any data they gather back to Earth, for long as they can.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Since then, more than 800 have been launched into space. The little, blocky satellites aren’t too expensive to build and send up — only a few million dollars, rather than a price tag in the hundreds of millions. Most CubeSats are used for small space data experiments that aren’t worth the cost of major satellite launches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory\u003c/a> built the CubeSats for this Mars mission. \u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/cubesat/missions/marco.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Their names are \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/cubesat/missions/marco.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MarCO\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/cubesat/missions/marco.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">-A and \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/cubesat/missions/marco.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MarCO\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/cubesat/missions/marco.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">-B, for Mars Cube One\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, Cal Poly students got the chance to work on the device that deployed them into space during the launch. And for the past six months, PolySat lab students have been tracking and interpreting the data from the CubeSats as InSight traveled to Mars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nineteen-year-old computer engineering major Ryan Statz said he got to interpret the raw data, or telemetry, relayed from the CubeSats back to earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wrote some software that goes through and looks at the data and puts it in a readable format and aids in their operations,” Staz said. “Looking at the CubeSats: are they healthy? Basically, daily checkups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I worked on correlations between the satellite clocks and earth time because there are different delays,” said Kate Parkinson. “It was an awesome experience, to be able to say I worked on and helped with data from satellites going to Mars.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A pretty big deal for a Parkinson’s and Statz’ resumes. And for science. CubeSats have never been outside earth’s orbit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the first time CubeSats have been launched interplanetary,” Parkinson said. “It was honestly a question if they would make it to Mars alive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CubeSats did survive and \u003ca href=\"https://spacenews.com/marco-success-vindicates-use-of-cubesats-on-deep-space-missions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">successfully relayed InSight landing information back to Earth Monday. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With their mission complete, the CubeSats will soar past Mars, deeper into space, relaying any data they gather back to Earth, for long as they can.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Someone asked her, “So, what does Cat Brooks as the boss of the Oakland PD look like?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks laughed a little. “I’ve seen people that I love dearly put on Facebook, ‘I can’t wait ’til Cat Brooks is mayor, and she abolishes the police.’ That’s not going to happen,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics have disavowed what they say is Brooks’ militant activism. “Look at my track record,” she said, inviting people to Google her. “You may not like everything you find,” she acknowledged. “You may not like the fact that I’ve chained myself to things. You may not like the fact that I’ve used harsh language when I’ve been engaging with law enforcement. But what you will see is me being consistent and true and fighting like hell for our most marginalized, vulnerable, oppressed population and being absolutely unapologetic about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brooks said she is also pragmatic, and she understands the role of an activist and the role of a mayor are not the same thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if — and it is a big if — Brooks wins, how would she deal with police? Oakland spends more money \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2017/08/07/how-much-do-u-s-cities-spend-every-year-on-policing-infographic/#c725b9fe7b7d\">per capita on police\u003c/a> than any other city in in the country, and Brooks said 41 percent of the city’s budget is too much. She said if she’s elected mayor, she’ll institute other policing reforms as well. “You actually will not ask every brown or black person you pull over whether they are on probation or parole, effective immediately,” Brooks said. “There will actually be a zero tolerance policy for excessive uses of force and of sexual misconduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Policing and crime, once the most hot-button topics in Oakland, are no longer the number one concern of residents.

He came to the house party for Brooks’ campaign to meet her for the first time. Just down the street, clusters of tents make up homeless encampments that stretch on for blocks. West Oakland has been ground zero for displacement. In a recent survey, over \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/06/02/survey-confirms-oakland-homeless-crisis-growing-worse/\">80 percent of the unhoused population\u003c/a> had been formerly living in a home in Alameda County. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“\u003c/span>Watching people who work harder than anyone I know, not being able to stay in a neighborhood that they’ve called home for 20-plus years,” is heartbreaking, Lowe said. “I’m barely holding on, and I have so much more privilege.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Different Visions for Oakland\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Brooks, Price and Schaaf all agree that what happens in the next four years is pivotal to the future of Oakland.

Her two main opponents are relative political newcomers who’ve never been elected to a local government office. Price was elected to the Alameda County Democratic Party, representing the 18th Assembly District, in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And Schaaf said she welcomes and loves Oakland’s activist edge. “\u003c/span>We are a feisty city. We don’t like authority or power. We challenge status quo thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brooks accuses Schaaf of being that status quo, and she said\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the last four years of displacement and the homeless crisis happened under Schaaf’s watch.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are either going to keep on the road that we are already on, to increase gentrification and homelessness,” Brooks said. “Or we are going to take a hard turn to the left.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks is banking on her argument that a political left turn is the only thing that can save what she calls “the soul of Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“\u003c/span>Losing the soul of Oakland isn’t just bad for Oakland, it’s bad for the country, particularly right now.

Schaaf’s most prominent opponents, Cat Brooks and Pamela Price, are running against Schaaf from the left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks criticizes the \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/oakland-police-chief-made-false-statements-about-ice-raid/Content?oid=9793923\">Oakland Police Department’s collaboration with ICE\u003c/a> in a 2017 operation in West Oakland, and she accuses Schaaf of playing politics when she warned the public about immigration raids earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks said Schaaf’s programs, by depending so heavily on philanthropic dollars, are no better than a neo-liberal Band-Aid on inequity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Schaaf points to her \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/our-november-2018-endorsement-guide/Content?oid=21443046\">endorsement by the alt-weekly East Bay Express\u003c/a> as “the progressive candidate.” (The paper’s endorsement did not actually use the term “progressive.”) Her campaign slogan is “Oakland Tough” and her campaign flyers laud the fact that she has taken on the president directly. In the Chamber of Commerce poll, Schaaf is leading among all ethnic and racial groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>A Promise of Police Reform\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At a recent house party for Cat Brooks’ campaign, the young, mostly white, prospective voters sat on pillows and couches to hear Brooks speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an activist, Brooks has been a police abolitionist, arguing that the system of policing is fundamentally broken. Someone asked her, “So, what does Cat Brooks as the boss of the Oakland PD look like?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks laughed a little. “I’ve seen people that I love dearly put on Facebook, ‘I can’t wait ’til Cat Brooks is mayor, and she abolishes the police.’ That’s not going to happen,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics have disavowed what they say is Brooks’ militant activism. “Look at my track record,” she said, inviting people to Google her. “You may not like everything you find,” she acknowledged. “You may not like the fact that I’ve chained myself to things. You may not like the fact that I’ve used harsh language when I’ve been engaging with law enforcement. But what you will see is me being consistent and true and fighting like hell for our most marginalized, vulnerable, oppressed population and being absolutely unapologetic about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brooks said she is also pragmatic, and she understands the role of an activist and the role of a mayor are not the same thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if — and it is a big if — Brooks wins, how would she deal with police? Oakland spends more money \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2017/08/07/how-much-do-u-s-cities-spend-every-year-on-policing-infographic/#c725b9fe7b7d\">per capita on police\u003c/a> than any other city in in the country, and Brooks said 41 percent of the city’s budget is too much. She said if she’s elected mayor, she’ll institute other policing reforms as well. “You actually will not ask every brown or black person you pull over whether they are on probation or parole, effective immediately,” Brooks said. “There will actually be a zero tolerance policy for excessive uses of force and of sexual misconduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Policing and crime, once the most hot-button topics in Oakland, are no longer the number one concern of residents. Now it is homelessness, housing and displacement.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What you will see is me being consistent and true and fighting like hell for our most marginalized, vulnerable, oppressed population.” \u003ccite>Cat Brooks\u003c/cite>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That’s what matters to William Lowe. He came to the house party for Brooks’ campaign to meet her for the first time. Just down the street, clusters of tents make up homeless encampments that stretch on for blocks. West Oakland has been ground zero for displacement. In a recent survey, over \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/06/02/survey-confirms-oakland-homeless-crisis-growing-worse/\">80 percent of the unhoused population\u003c/a> had been formerly living in a home in Alameda County. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“\u003c/span>Watching people who work harder than anyone I know, not being able to stay in a neighborhood that they’ve called home for 20-plus years,” is heartbreaking, Lowe said. “I’m barely holding on, and I have so much more privilege.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Different Visions for Oakland\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Brooks, Price and Schaaf all agree that what happens in the next four years is pivotal to the future of Oakland. Because in that time Oakland could be irreversibly gentrified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they vastly differ on what — and who — is needed to stop that from happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf makes the case that she has the political experience to tackle the complex issues facing the city. Her two main opponents are relative political newcomers who’ve never been elected to a local government office. Price was elected to the Alameda County Democratic Party, representing the 18th Assembly District, in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And Schaaf said she welcomes and loves Oakland’s activist edge. “\u003c/span>We are a feisty city. We don’t like authority or power. We challenge status quo thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brooks accuses Schaaf of being that status quo, and she said\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the last four years of displacement and the homeless crisis happened under Schaaf’s watch.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are either going to keep on the road that we are already on, to increase gentrification and homelessness,” Brooks said. “Or we are going to take a hard turn to the left.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks is banking on her argument that a political left turn is the only thing that can save what she calls “the soul of Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“\u003c/span>Losing the soul of Oakland isn’t just bad for Oakland, it’s bad for the country, particularly right now. We’re supposed to be the most progressive city in the nation,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is up to voters to define what kind of progressive city they want, and which leader they think is best equipped to get them there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

By one estimate from the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the state needs to build 1.8 million units over the next seven years just to keep pace with population growth. Right now, California isn’t close to building that quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are lots of reasons for the state’s deep housing shortage.

After Proposition 13, all California properties — even vacant ones — are taxed based on the original purchase price, not their current value. That makes it relatively inexpensive to hold onto land, even when the market is hot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In other markets where Prop. 13 policies aren’t in effect, the taxes on that property would continue to go up with land value,” says Ralph McLaughlin, a housing economist with Veritas Urbis Economics and former chief economist for the real estate website Trulia. “And that incentivizes development, it increases holding costs, it makes it more expensive to hold it vacant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A report from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office found that \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/publications/report/3497#Does_Proposition_13_Alter_Property_Owners.2019_Development_Decisions.3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vacant lots in California were less likely to be developed\u003c/a> the longer they were owned, even when compared to similar vacant lots in the same neighborhood. Oakland, where the average house is now worth $750,000, has \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/H.Raetz_Vacant_Parcels_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than 3,000 vacant residential lots\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defenders of Proposition 13 argue that other regulatory barriers to new development — permitting fees and other bureaucratic hurdles that new construction must navigate — are far bigger impediments than Proposition 13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most people who own land don’t own land so that someday they can sell it,” says Michael Shires, an associate professor of public policy at Pepperdine University. “They own land because they want to do something with it someday. What prevents them is they can’t get permission for what they want to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 class=\"story-subhed\">Diluted Incentives for New Housing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Less than two miles from the vacant lot stands another example of how Proposition 13 could be limiting the supply of new housing in California: a Target store. Next to a Best Buy. Next to a Home Depot. All stretched across a massive parking lot, on 40 acres of some of the priciest real estate in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the most part, cities decide what gets built within their borders. In an ideal world, they’d permit construction of what’s needed. So if housing prices got too high, they’d permit more housing, according to Jonathan Zasloff, a professor at UCLA School of Law who specializes in land use issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But cities have another, more immediate imperative to consider when deciding what gets built — revenue for city coffers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re a city, you’re going to want to have land uses in your city that provide a big revenue stream for services,” says Zasloff. “And in California, you want enterprises that generate sales taxes, which is basically retail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 13 changed how California cities get their money. Before the initiative passed, 90 percent of local government revenue came from property taxes. Today, that share is less than two-thirds — and has been replaced by things like sales taxes and hotel taxes, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big-box stores also don’t generate the need for expensive things like schools and libraries and parks that accompany new housing. So when a city is deciding between allowing a Target or a new apartment building, the math isn’t so friendly to the apartment building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it’s gonna cost the city ‘X’ amount of tax dollars over time to provide services for the [apartment building], versus the tax revenue that it generates, Target is gonna win, hands down,” says McLaughlin, the housing economist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This phenomenon, known in urban planning circles as the “fiscalization of land use,” is more theory than empirically tested truth. And it’s also more descriptive of suburbs than well-established cities like Oakland, which were already mostly built out before Proposition 13 passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But examples of cities deprioritizing housing in favor of retail and hotels is still quite common. Voters in Brisbane, a small Bay Area suburb south of San Francisco, will have a chance next month to approve a new 2,200-home development on vacant land. A consultant found that if the city decided to build a hotel instead, it would \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-small-city-controls-big-housing-project-20170728-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">net $8 million more\u003c/a> annually in revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 class=\"story-subhed\">Large Fees on New Development\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At the corner of Broadway and 17th Street, the skeleton of a high-rise apartment building extends into downtown Oakland’s skyline. It’s one of two high-rises going up in the area amid a construction boom all over the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When those new housing developments come online, they’ll need additional infrastructure to serve new residents. Schools and roads, parks and police, fire and public transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003cem>‘It’s not really a buyer’s market right now.’\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003ccite>Michelle Krasowski, North Oakland resident\u003c/cite>\u003c/em>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Before Proposition 13, a good deal of that infrastructure was paid for with property taxes.

Boutique fabrics and artwork adorn the walls, and craft supplies and a film projector from the 1970s are scattered about the living room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Krasowski loves the neighborhood, which she moved to about a year and a half ago. The friendly neighbors that know each other by name, the old church down the street, the taqueria and pizza place a few blocks away.

By one estimate from the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the state needs to build 1.8 million units over the next seven years just to keep pace with population growth. Right now, California isn’t close to building that quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are lots of reasons for the state’s deep housing shortage.

After Proposition 13, all California properties — even vacant ones — are taxed based on the original purchase price, not their current value. That makes it relatively inexpensive to hold onto land, even when the market is hot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In other markets where Prop. 13 policies aren’t in effect, the taxes on that property would continue to go up with land value,” says Ralph McLaughlin, a housing economist with Veritas Urbis Economics and former chief economist for the real estate website Trulia. “And that incentivizes development, it increases holding costs, it makes it more expensive to hold it vacant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A report from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office found that \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/publications/report/3497#Does_Proposition_13_Alter_Property_Owners.2019_Development_Decisions.3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vacant lots in California were less likely to be developed\u003c/a> the longer they were owned, even when compared to similar vacant lots in the same neighborhood. Oakland, where the average house is now worth $750,000, has \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/H.Raetz_Vacant_Parcels_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than 3,000 vacant residential lots\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defenders of Proposition 13 argue that other regulatory barriers to new development — permitting fees and other bureaucratic hurdles that new construction must navigate — are far bigger impediments than Proposition 13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most people who own land don’t own land so that someday they can sell it,” says Michael Shires, an associate professor of public policy at Pepperdine University. “They own land because they want to do something with it someday. What prevents them is they can’t get permission for what they want to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 class=\"story-subhed\">Diluted Incentives for New Housing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Less than two miles from the vacant lot stands another example of how Proposition 13 could be limiting the supply of new housing in California: a Target store. Next to a Best Buy. Next to a Home Depot. All stretched across a massive parking lot, on 40 acres of some of the priciest real estate in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the most part, cities decide what gets built within their borders. In an ideal world, they’d permit construction of what’s needed. So if housing prices got too high, they’d permit more housing, according to Jonathan Zasloff, a professor at UCLA School of Law who specializes in land use issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But cities have another, more immediate imperative to consider when deciding what gets built — revenue for city coffers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re a city, you’re going to want to have land uses in your city that provide a big revenue stream for services,” says Zasloff. “And in California, you want enterprises that generate sales taxes, which is basically retail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 13 changed how California cities get their money. Before the initiative passed, 90 percent of local government revenue came from property taxes. Today, that share is less than two-thirds — and has been replaced by things like sales taxes and hotel taxes, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big-box stores also don’t generate the need for expensive things like schools and libraries and parks that accompany new housing. So when a city is deciding between allowing a Target or a new apartment building, the math isn’t so friendly to the apartment building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it’s gonna cost the city ‘X’ amount of tax dollars over time to provide services for the [apartment building], versus the tax revenue that it generates, Target is gonna win, hands down,” says McLaughlin, the housing economist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This phenomenon, known in urban planning circles as the “fiscalization of land use,” is more theory than empirically tested truth. And it’s also more descriptive of suburbs than well-established cities like Oakland, which were already mostly built out before Proposition 13 passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But examples of cities deprioritizing housing in favor of retail and hotels is still quite common. Voters in Brisbane, a small Bay Area suburb south of San Francisco, will have a chance next month to approve a new 2,200-home development on vacant land. A consultant found that if the city decided to build a hotel instead, it would \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-small-city-controls-big-housing-project-20170728-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">net $8 million more\u003c/a> annually in revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 class=\"story-subhed\">Large Fees on New Development\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At the corner of Broadway and 17th Street, the skeleton of a high-rise apartment building extends into downtown Oakland’s skyline. It’s one of two high-rises going up in the area amid a construction boom all over the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When those new housing developments come online, they’ll need additional infrastructure to serve new residents. Schools and roads, parks and police, fire and public transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003cem>‘It’s not really a buyer’s market right now.’\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003ccite>Michelle Krasowski, North Oakland resident\u003c/cite>\u003c/em>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Before Proposition 13, a good deal of that infrastructure was paid for with property taxes.
