"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]F[/dropcap]or the second time in as many years, the nation is in the midst of a frenzy over who gets to sleep in the extra-long twin beds at a tiny fraction of highly selective colleges and universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, it was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/02/660734399/harvard-discrimination-trial-is-ending-but-lawsuit-is-far-from-over\">a lawsuit\u003c/a> over Harvard University’s admissions process, particularly its treatment of Asian-Americans. This year, it’s\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/12/702539140/u-s-accuses-actresses-others-of-fraud-in-wide-college-admissions-scandal\"> a scandal \u003c/a>involving rich parents and a criminal scheme to get their children into universities like Yale, Stanford and the University of Southern California. Fifty people have been charged in a scam that allegedly includes cheating on the SAT and ACT and bribing unscrupulous coaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By highlighting flaws in the college admissions process, these stories illustrate the deep inequities in access to the United States’ elite universities. And the debate is surfacing some out-of-the-box ideas about what an alternative might look like. For example: What about a lottery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rick Hess, who directs education policy at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/frederickhess/2019/03/15/a-modest-proposal-regarding-college-admissions/#113ab38c1fe5\">proposed the idea \u003c/a>in a \u003cem>Forbes \u003c/em>piece on March 15:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Maybe elite colleges should put their money where their mouth is when they pontificate about the need to democratize opportunity, take a page out of the K-12 charter school book, and switch to lottery admissions.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In other words, pull names out of a hat. Anyone with a high school diploma could end up at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. No more pricey SAT tutors, no more legacy bumps, no more sweating bullets over college essays, no more College Board — and a lot less work for guidance counselors too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hess\u003ca href=\"https://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/rick_hess_straight_up/2019/03/7_questions_about_an_elite_college_admissions_lottery.html\"> later called this, cheekily, a “modest proposal” and acknowledged \u003c/a>it would face many practical obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in February, the progressive think tank New America proposed the \u003ca href=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/newamericadotorg/documents/Supporting_Students_of_Color_in_Higher_Education_New_America.pdf\">same idea\u003c/a> in all sincerity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four Democratic senators, including presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, \u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Borrowers%20of%20Color%20Letter%20Jan%202019.pdf\">requested policy ideas\u003c/a> to increase racial equity in higher education. Along with big changes to financial aid, New America proposed the “radical” ideas of banning legacy admissions as a condition of receiving federal aid and “requiring” elite institutions to “participate in a lottery-based admissions system where anyone who has a minimum SAT or ACT score and/or GPA can enter the lottery for free.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea of a meritocracy in higher education is a joke,” says Rachel Fishman, the deputy director of education policy research at New America. “I was trying to think of a more radical proposal that would be more meritocratic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Better standards than test scores\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a subset of privileged and striving Americans, this would come as a huge shock. Hess of the American Enterprise Institute is among those pointing out that an admissions lottery would be a “huge blow” to the prestige of elite colleges, not to mention hiring practices in the corporate world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But let’s put aside for a moment how feasible the idea is. Would it even work as advertised?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Match and the OneApp\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have some empirical evidence to point to. Entry processes with an element of randomness are found throughout the world — in \u003ca href=\"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/10408347308003591\">Turkey\u003c/a>, the Netherlands, the U.K. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.conallboyle.com/lottery/RAND_LEduMay07.pdf\">for certain courses of study\u003c/a>) and New Zealand and Sweden (\u003ca href=\"http://www.conallboyle.com/lottery/RAND_LEduMay07.pdf\">for K-12\u003c/a> schools). Usually they are not pure lotteries. Students typically have to meet some kind of criteria on transcripts and test scores and list their choices in order. A central system tries to marry the schools’ and students’ preferences to get the best outcome for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example in the U.S. is the National Resident Matching Program, known as The Match, for future doctors. The math involved in optimizing medical students’ choices of residency programs and those programs’ choices of students is so complicated that Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2012/10/15/162963652/americans-win-economics-nobel-for-market-design\">won the 2012 Nobel Prize\u003c/a> in economics for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As K-12 school choice policies have expanded in the U.S., there has been increasing interest in adapting The Match to try to create more fairness, equity and transparency for everyone. For example, New Orleans transitioned to a nearly 100 percent charter district after Hurricane Katrina. With no more neighborhood schools, families, overwhelmingly poor and African-American, struggled to manage the varying deadlines and requirements for charter school entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s solution: a single application, aptly \u003ca href=\"https://enrollnola.org/about/about-oneapp/\">called OneApp\u003c/a>, to match students with preferred schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“OneApp was mainly intended to make the process less chaotic and burdensome so it would at least \u003cem>seem\u003c/em> fair,” says Douglas Harris of the Education Research Alliance at Tulane University. Through the adoption of OneApp, “the system gained more credibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris has studied the OneApp process extensively, and he says that unfortunately, OneApp hasn’t really made schools more fair. New Orleans schools are no less segregated — by race, income or test scores — than before OneApp. As \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/the-end-of-neighborhood-schools/\">one grandmother told us\u003c/a> when we reported from New Orleans: “You take what they give you. That’s not choice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parag Pathak, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, helped design OneApp. He played a part in designing school-choice systems in Boston; Chicago; Denver; Newark, N.J.; New York; and Washington, D.C. Like Harris, he agrees the main benefit of admissions lotteries is that they set ground rules everyone can agree on: “They make the process transparent in terms of the rules.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pathak has a negative, but striking, example of that transparency: In 2018, Antwan Wilson, then the chancellor of Washington, D.C., public schools, broke the rules of the city’s lottery system — rules he himself had just overhauled — to transfer his daughter into a coveted high school ahead of 600 people on the waiting list. The ethics violation was clear, and Wilson was \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/dc-public-schools-leader-to-resign-after-skirting-school-assignment-rules/2018/02/20/9b372230-1662-11e8-92c9-376b4fe57ff7_story.html?utm_term=.dabec5197ef3\">forced to resign\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More credible, more transparent, less chaotic, less burdensome — these changes would surely be a balm for critics of the admissions process at elite colleges and universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Even with lotteries, schools find a way to gate-keep\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Pathak and Harris aren’t so sure, based on their research, that a lottery would actually produce more fairness or equity in higher education — for poor students, students of color or anyone else. They argue that it hasn’t done that for K-12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason? Let’s return to New Orleans for a second.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>K-12 schools in the Big Easy are similar to colleges in terms of demand. Just \u003ca href=\"https://www.nacacnet.org/globalassets/documents/publications/research/2018_soca/soca18.pdf\">one in five colleges is actually selective\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Harris says only about 20 percent of the city’s schools have more applications than students — in other words, they are “oversubscribed,” meaning seats must be allocated by lottery. These schools also draw a group of white, affluent applicants who will head to private schools if they don’t get into their small number of preferred charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other 80 percent of schools, like 80 percent of colleges, have more seats than applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the competition is so concentrated in a handful of schools, opportunities to “sort and screen” students keep creeping back into the system, Pathak says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Centralized systems require a lot of maintenance,” he says, sounding a bit like a beleaguered janitor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his upcoming book, Harris describes a total of 20 ways that the elite schools “sort and screen” to maintain their eliteness, like their location in a rich or poor neighborhood, the programs they choose to offer or even encouraging current parents to recommend the school to their friends. Intentional or not, this kind of signaling undermines open access, Harris says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or take New York City. It has a citywide system of ranked-choice matching, like OneApp for middle and high schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students have hundreds of schools to choose from, and individual high schools had trouble figuring out which students really wanted to go to them. So they created an “open-house priority” for students who demonstrated interest by coming to an open house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The not-very-surprising outcome? Teens with two working parents who were not native English speakers had a harder time navigating across boroughs to show up to open houses months before the high school application was due. Nor did they necessarily understand the importance of doing so. So New York City nixed the open-house priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But still, people are focused on \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/19/704893517/freshman-class-for-nycs-top-public-high-school-includes-7-black-students-out-of-\">eight high schools \u003c/a>out of the hundreds in the city — the ones that have a special standardized test for admissions and that admit tiny numbers of black students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What education researchers like Harris and Pathak really wish everyone would do is stop worrying so much about admissions. For that to happen, they have to stop confusing selective schools with good schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s unfortunate there’s so much attention on a handful of schools that don’t represent the schools that most students go to,” says Pathak. “My own view?

Fifty people have been charged in a scam that allegedly includes cheating on the SAT and ACT and bribing unscrupulous coaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By highlighting flaws in the college admissions process, these stories illustrate the deep inequities in access to the United States’ elite universities. And the debate is surfacing some out-of-the-box ideas about what an alternative might look like. For example: What about a lottery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rick Hess, who directs education policy at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/frederickhess/2019/03/15/a-modest-proposal-regarding-college-admissions/#113ab38c1fe5\">proposed the idea \u003c/a>in a \u003cem>Forbes \u003c/em>piece on March 15:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Maybe elite colleges should put their money where their mouth is when they pontificate about the need to democratize opportunity, take a page out of the K-12 charter school book, and switch to lottery admissions.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In other words, pull names out of a hat.

Along with big changes to financial aid, New America proposed the “radical” ideas of banning legacy admissions as a condition of receiving federal aid and “requiring” elite institutions to “participate in a lottery-based admissions system where anyone who has a minimum SAT or ACT score and/or GPA can enter the lottery for free.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea of a meritocracy in higher education is a joke,” says Rachel Fishman, the deputy director of education policy research at New America. “I was trying to think of a more radical proposal that would be more meritocratic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Better standards than test scores\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a subset of privileged and striving Americans, this would come as a huge shock. Hess of the American Enterprise Institute is among those pointing out that an admissions lottery would be a “huge blow” to the prestige of elite colleges, not to mention hiring practices in the corporate world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But let’s put aside for a moment how feasible the idea is. Would it even work as advertised?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Match and the OneApp\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have some empirical evidence to point to. Entry processes with an element of randomness are found throughout the world — in \u003ca href=\"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/10408347308003591\">Turkey\u003c/a>, the Netherlands, the U.K. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.conallboyle.com/lottery/RAND_LEduMay07.pdf\">for certain courses of study\u003c/a>) and New Zealand and Sweden (\u003ca href=\"http://www.conallboyle.com/lottery/RAND_LEduMay07.pdf\">for K-12\u003c/a> schools). Usually they are not pure lotteries. Students typically have to meet some kind of criteria on transcripts and test scores and list their choices in order. A central system tries to marry the schools’ and students’ preferences to get the best outcome for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example in the U.S. is the National Resident Matching Program, known as The Match, for future doctors. The math involved in optimizing medical students’ choices of residency programs and those programs’ choices of students is so complicated that Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2012/10/15/162963652/americans-win-economics-nobel-for-market-design\">won the 2012 Nobel Prize\u003c/a> in economics for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As K-12 school choice policies have expanded in the U.S., there has been increasing interest in adapting The Match to try to create more fairness, equity and transparency for everyone. For example, New Orleans transitioned to a nearly 100 percent charter district after Hurricane Katrina. With no more neighborhood schools, families, overwhelmingly poor and African-American, struggled to manage the varying deadlines and requirements for charter school entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s solution: a single application, aptly \u003ca href=\"https://enrollnola.org/about/about-oneapp/\">called OneApp\u003c/a>, to match students with preferred schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“OneApp was mainly intended to make the process less chaotic and burdensome so it would at least \u003cem>seem\u003c/em> fair,” says Douglas Harris of the Education Research Alliance at Tulane University. Through the adoption of OneApp, “the system gained more credibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris has studied the OneApp process extensively, and he says that unfortunately, OneApp hasn’t really made schools more fair. New Orleans schools are no less segregated — by race, income or test scores — than before OneApp. As \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/the-end-of-neighborhood-schools/\">one grandmother told us\u003c/a> when we reported from New Orleans: “You take what they give you. That’s not choice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parag Pathak, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, helped design OneApp. He played a part in designing school-choice systems in Boston; Chicago; Denver; Newark, N.J.; New York; and Washington, D.C. Like Harris, he agrees the main benefit of admissions lotteries is that they set ground rules everyone can agree on: “They make the process transparent in terms of the rules.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pathak has a negative, but striking, example of that transparency: In 2018, Antwan Wilson, then the chancellor of Washington, D.C., public schools, broke the rules of the city’s lottery system — rules he himself had just overhauled — to transfer his daughter into a coveted high school ahead of 600 people on the waiting list. The ethics violation was clear, and Wilson was \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/dc-public-schools-leader-to-resign-after-skirting-school-assignment-rules/2018/02/20/9b372230-1662-11e8-92c9-376b4fe57ff7_story.html?utm_term=.dabec5197ef3\">forced to resign\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More credible, more transparent, less chaotic, less burdensome — these changes would surely be a balm for critics of the admissions process at elite colleges and universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Even with lotteries, schools find a way to gate-keep\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Pathak and Harris aren’t so sure, based on their research, that a lottery would actually produce more fairness or equity in higher education — for poor students, students of color or anyone else. They argue that it hasn’t done that for K-12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason? Let’s return to New Orleans for a second.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>K-12 schools in the Big Easy are similar to colleges in terms of demand. Just \u003ca href=\"https://www.nacacnet.org/globalassets/documents/publications/research/2018_soca/soca18.pdf\">one in five colleges is actually selective\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Harris says only about 20 percent of the city’s schools have more applications than students — in other words, they are “oversubscribed,” meaning seats must be allocated by lottery.

That trial also lifted the the veil on how the process can work, and among evidence presented \u003ca href=\"https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2018/10/18/day-three-harvard-admissions-trial/\">were email exchanges\u003c/a> between Harvard officials discussing connections between applicants and major donors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Legacy admissions:\u003c/strong> Nearly half of private colleges and universities (42 percent) and 6 percent of public ones take into account whether an applicant’s family members attended that school, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/survey/2018-surveys-admissions-leaders-pressure-grows\">Inside Higher Ed\u003c/a>.

"content": "\u003cp>Last fall’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/camp-fire/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Camp Fire\u003c/a> — the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in modern California history — has brought renewed questions about whether towns in high-risk areas like Paradise should even be rebuilt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barry Long tried to squash those immediately recently, as he kicked off a crowded town hall meeting at the Paradise Alliance Church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the first questions we get is, ‘are they really going to rebuild Paradise?’,” Long said. “And we say that’s not a question, [the city] council made an immediate decision [that] we’re going to rebuild Paradise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=”right” citation=\"Cathe Wood, Paradise resident\"]‘We have a great opportunity up here for a complete reset.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was met by a resounding applause from a large crowd of anxious Paradise residents. Long’s firm, Urban Design Associates, was hired by the town council to develop a long-term recovery plan for Paradise. They’ve begun holding meetings — the latest scheduled for March 19 — discussing with residents how they think their town should be rebuilt. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people have had to leave Paradise after about 90 percent of the town — almost 19,000 structures — burned to the ground last November in the Camp Fire, which also claimed 85 lives. But for the few who do remain and are eager to begin rebuilding, Long sought to give them reassurances: you can’t just abandon a community that’s been a fixture in the Sierra Nevada foothills since the the 1800s, he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It took 140 years to build Paradise and obviously things did survive, like the church here,” Long said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Urban Design Associates also consulted for the state of Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. And that’s what this still unfolding crisis is starting to be likened to: a rural Katrina. One big parallel emerging so far is anxiety over gentrification. Once Paradise is rebuilt, there’s resounding agreement it will have much tougher, fire-safe building codes. And that won’t be cheap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just need affordable living and our home back,” said Cathe Wood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11731317\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/image-from-ios-7-ba10d2c97008e4f7315d853a2810731814e70c75-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Paradise Mayor Jody Jones talks with anxious constituents at a recent town hall meeting at Paradise Alliance Church about rebuilding their town, destroyed in last fall's Camp Fire.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11731317\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paradise Mayor Jody Jones talks with anxious constituents at a recent town hall meeting at Paradise Alliance Church about rebuilding their town, destroyed in last fall’s Camp Fire. \u003ccite>(Kirk Siegler/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Anxiety Over Gentrification \u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Wood has lived in Paradise for 30 years. She’s planning to rebuild, but is still applying for permits and dealing with insurance claims. For now anyway, her job is still in Paradise. She works at an accounting firm that didn’t burn. Her home and her family weren’t so lucky. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I lost everything,” Wood said. “All my family members are homeless, scattered throughout California, I just want to come home.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paradise was a haven for retirees and others who couldn’t afford the city or just wanted to live in the country. Like a lot of western towns, it grew too quickly — without a lot of planning and scant zoning. Mobile home parks, tract houses, fast food restaurants were packed into overgrown forests. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Paradise, After the Camp Fire\" tag=\"paradise\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cathe Wood hopes something good will come out of all this. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a great opportunity up here for a complete reset,” she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Complete Reset, But Will it Be Affordable?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Paradise is not going to be the same as it was,” said Jody Jones, the town’s mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the recovery process moves forward, Jones and other town officials insist they’re trying to balance rebuilding smarter while also not mandating expensive changes. But they’ve never done this before and they’re learning as they go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know that I can give any assurances it’s not going to be gentrified,” Jones said. “Because in some sense of the word what people mean by that is new, and everything we build is going to be new, it’s going to be different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news is Paradise has time to get it right. The scale of this disaster is enormous, even just cleaning it up and removing all the hazardous debris could take more than a year. So it’s not as if the town can just be repopulated and rebuilt immediately as it was. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cleanup only began in earnest a couple weeks ago. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Thinking Big\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At another forum in nearby Chico, a group of third-year architecture students from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo may have some answers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ve put up poster boards showing architectural renderings of energy efficient, and “fire-wise” municipal buildings. There are proposed, newly redesigned, wider street grids for safer evacuations. And neighborhoods are drawn with more cleared out, open space between smaller, modern and up to code homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11731318\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/image-from-ios-8-_sq-a11d05925eea1aa5ee08ac1d67eb32f37e8e55dd-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"Third-year architecture student Alessandro Zanghi is proposing a new vocational college in Paradise, to train carpenters, plumbers and other trades that will be in high demand as the foothills town looks to rebuild.\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11731318\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Third-year architecture student Alessandro Zanghi is proposing a new vocational college in Paradise, to train carpenters, plumbers and other trades that will be in high demand as the foothills town looks to rebuild. \u003ccite>(Kirk Siegler/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A few curious members of the public mingled around the presentation talking to students who said their models were still a work in progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to figure out a different way to rearrange the town so that it better suits the inhabitants and brings new people to Paradise” said Allessandro Zanghi. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re calling it a “re-imagined Paradise.” The class typically consults for underserved communities. And when the Camp Fire happened, the curriculum was re-designed to cater to Paradise and surrounding burnt-out towns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Zanghi, it’s been a challenge trying to redesign proposals that preserve Paradise’s rural character. But he said it’s a misnomer that rebuilding or redeveloping a mountain community like this will result in a more expensive town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really important to have architecture be more than just luxury high rises,” Zanghi said. “It should be things that help a community grow and flourish.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affordability and gentrification are some of the more heated topics emerging so far in the town’s preliminary discussions. At some cantankerous city council meetings, fire survivors have argued with officials over whether they could put campers on burnt-out properties and how FEMA resources will be allocated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students’ instructor, Stacey White, said those are tough conversations that have to happen. But what’s going on here is separate. These kids can take the time to take a 30,000 foot view of the rebuilding project and hopefully inspire a little hope for the community amid all the other setbacks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But [these] students have an ability to step back and think, ‘what if we did this right?’,” White said. “They’re focused on affordability, resiliency and permanence; really investing in the place so we don’t relive this again in ten years.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her class will soon hand over their plans to the town. After four long months of stress and anxiety in this community, the students hope the crisis can also be looked at as an opportunity for Paradise, and they want to help. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Long’s firm, Urban Design Associates, was hired by the town council to develop a long-term recovery plan for Paradise. They’ve begun holding meetings — the latest scheduled for March 19 — discussing with residents how they think their town should be rebuilt. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But for the few who do remain and are eager to begin rebuilding, Long sought to give them reassurances: you can’t just abandon a community that’s been a fixture in the Sierra Nevada foothills since the the 1800s, he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It took 140 years to build Paradise and obviously things did survive, like the church here,” Long said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Urban Design Associates also consulted for the state of Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. And that’s what this still unfolding crisis is starting to be likened to: a rural Katrina. One big parallel emerging so far is anxiety over gentrification. Once Paradise is rebuilt, there’s resounding agreement it will have much tougher, fire-safe building codes. And that won’t be cheap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just need affordable living and our home back,” said Cathe Wood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11731317\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/image-from-ios-7-ba10d2c97008e4f7315d853a2810731814e70c75-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Paradise Mayor Jody Jones talks with anxious constituents at a recent town hall meeting at Paradise Alliance Church about rebuilding their town, destroyed in last fall's Camp Fire.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11731317\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paradise Mayor Jody Jones talks with anxious constituents at a recent town hall meeting at Paradise Alliance Church about rebuilding their town, destroyed in last fall’s Camp Fire. \u003ccite>(Kirk Siegler/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Anxiety Over Gentrification \u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Wood has lived in Paradise for 30 years. She’s planning to rebuild, but is still applying for permits and dealing with insurance claims. For now anyway, her job is still in Paradise. She works at an accounting firm that didn’t burn. Her home and her family weren’t so lucky. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I lost everything,” Wood said. “All my family members are homeless, scattered throughout California, I just want to come home.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paradise was a haven for retirees and others who couldn’t afford the city or just wanted to live in the country. Like a lot of western towns, it grew too quickly — without a lot of planning and scant zoning. Mobile home parks, tract houses, fast food restaurants were packed into overgrown forests. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But they’ve never done this before and they’re learning as they go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know that I can give any assurances it’s not going to be gentrified,” Jones said. “Because in some sense of the word what people mean by that is new, and everything we build is going to be new, it’s going to be different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news is Paradise has time to get it right. The scale of this disaster is enormous, even just cleaning it up and removing all the hazardous debris could take more than a year. So it’s not as if the town can just be repopulated and rebuilt immediately as it was. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cleanup only began in earnest a couple weeks ago. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Thinking Big\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At another forum in nearby Chico, a group of third-year architecture students from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo may have some answers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ve put up poster boards showing architectural renderings of energy efficient, and “fire-wise” municipal buildings. There are proposed, newly redesigned, wider street grids for safer evacuations.

And when the Camp Fire happened, the curriculum was re-designed to cater to Paradise and surrounding burnt-out towns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Zanghi, it’s been a challenge trying to redesign proposals that preserve Paradise’s rural character. But he said it’s a misnomer that rebuilding or redeveloping a mountain community like this will result in a more expensive town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really important to have architecture be more than just luxury high rises,” Zanghi said. “It should be things that help a community grow and flourish.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affordability and gentrification are some of the more heated topics emerging so far in the town’s preliminary discussions. At some cantankerous city council meetings, fire survivors have argued with officials over whether they could put campers on burnt-out properties and how FEMA resources will be allocated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students’ instructor, Stacey White, said those are tough conversations that have to happen. But what’s going on here is separate. These kids can take the time to take a 30,000 foot view of the rebuilding project and hopefully inspire a little hope for the community amid all the other setbacks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But [these] students have an ability to step back and think, ‘what if we did this right?’,” White said. “They’re focused on affordability, resiliency and permanence; really investing in the place so we don’t relive this again in ten years.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But a CALmatters analysis of statewide charter enrollment data paints a far more nuanced picture, in which charter growth is more a collection of densely concentrated hotspots than a statewide phenomenon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Though California’s charter school enrollment more than doubled during the past decade, from nearly 250,000 kids to about 630,000, only about 10 percent of the state’s 6.2 million public school students are enrolled in charters, according to state data. From 2007-08 to 2017-18, the period we examined, more than half of California’s school districts—many of them suburban—authorized no charters at all.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Charter school expansion seems to correlate with poverty in California. More than half of the state’s charter enrollment is in districts where most students get free and reduced-price lunches. And many of the hotspots are in and around big urban areas with high concentrations of low income kids.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In some districts where charter enrollment has spiked, the rise appears to be less about community demand than a loophole that, as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/audit-school-districts-reap-millions-oking-far-flung-charters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state auditors\u003c/a> have noted, let a few small, mostly rural districts make money by authorizing charter schools that draw enrollment from outside their boundaries.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And though claims abound, it’s hard to know how just much charter growth is impacting traditional schools’ budgets, in part because state law doesn’t let districts consider the potential fiscal drain when authorizing new charters.

Among large urban districts, data show, Oakland has the state’s highest concentration of charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But L.A. and Oakland are exceptions. There were 73 school districts in CALmatters’ database with total enrollments higher than 20,000 students—a group that accounts for more than half of the state’s public school enrollment. Of those, only 18 (San Diego, San Francisco and Chula Vista Elementary school districts also were among them) had more than 10 percent of their total enrollment in charters. Dominating that list were districts in big cities and poorer communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In far more of California’s districts, charter schools are scarcely an option. Two dozen other big districts—in populous suburbs such as Irvine, Garden Grove, Fontana and Chino Valley in Orange and San Bernardino counties—authorized no charter schools at all in the past decade. This could suggest that there is either little demand or effort to establish charters in these communities, or intense resistance from districts toward authorizing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, more than half of California’s school districts—650, of all sizes—authorized zero charters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And where charters had been okayed, more than half of the statewide enrollment—350,000 students—was concentrated in school districts where more than 60 percent of students get free or reduced-price lunches, an indicator of poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11728490\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11728490\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/RS35214_OUSD_MOORE_025-qut-1-800x553.jpg\" alt='Ellie Kerwin, a junior in high school, holds a sign that reads \"I Hella Love Oakland Teachers\" as she walks down Broadway St. during the Oakland student walkout on Friday Feb. 8, 2019.

But a 2017 state audit pinpointed a handful of districts that had authorized charters as far as 50 miles outside their geographic boundaries—a lucrative arrangement that had increased revenue tenfold in at least one district, though the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bsa.ca.gov/reports/2016-141/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">auditor also found\u003c/a> that the districts weren’t necessarily delivering the oversight for which they were paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly one-fifth of the state’s 2017-18 total charter enrollment came from schools authorized by the state’s smallest school districts, according to CALmatters’ analysis. Excluding county education offices, districts that had less than 1,500 students in traditional public schools accounted for more than 108,000 charter students, or about 17 percent, state data show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s directory of public schools shows that some of the charter schools authorized by small districts with the most dramatically disproportionate charter enrollments have addresses that are far outside their boundaries. But state auditors noted that it is difficult to tally exactly how many charters operate with far-flung authorizers. The state does not require charter schools to report the locations of all of their classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any case, some of these small districts, such as Acton-Agua Dulce Unified in rural Los Angeles County and Dehesa Elementary School District in eastern San Diego County, experienced dramatic charter growth in the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dehesa, which enrolled 145 traditional district kids in 2017-18, grew its charter enrollment from 676 students in 2007-08 to more than 8,500 last year. Acton-Agua Dulce, which enrolled 1,080 students in its district schools last year, grew the number of charter students it oversees from 165 in 2012-13 to nearly 14,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to 2012, the Acton district—in the isolated high desert between Santa Clarita and Palmdale—had not authorized any charters.

Oakland is mulling whether to \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2019/01/08/oakland-unified-scrambles-to-identify-as-many-as-24-schools-that-could-be-closed-in-next-5-years/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">close two dozen\u003c/a> district schools amid a $22 million budget deficit that follows a state takeover and two state bailouts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State funding for California public schools is based on the average number of students who attend school each day, meaning, in general, less money for districts with lower enrollment. But it’s tricky to accurately isolate the costs of enrollment lost to charters; according to the California Charter School Association, about a quarter of charters are “district dependent,” meaning they operate within a district’s financial and governance structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11728499\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11728499\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/RS8992_Photo3-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Students talk after class at Lighthouse Charter School in Oakland.

Teachers unions have been citing reports by the left-leaning Bay Area policy center, In The Public Interest, estimating that charter growth cost \u003ca href=\"http://www.inthepublicinterest.org/wp-content/uploads/ITPI_LAUSDCharters_PolicyBrief_May2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">L.A.

From 2007-08 to 2017-18, the period we examined, more than half of California’s school districts—many of them suburban—authorized no charters at all.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Charter school expansion seems to correlate with poverty in California. More than half of the state’s charter enrollment is in districts where most students get free and reduced-price lunches. And many of the hotspots are in and around big urban areas with high concentrations of low income kids.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In some districts where charter enrollment has spiked, the rise appears to be less about community demand than a loophole that, as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/audit-school-districts-reap-millions-oking-far-flung-charters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state auditors\u003c/a> have noted, let a few small, mostly rural districts make money by authorizing charter schools that draw enrollment from outside their boundaries.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And though claims abound, it’s hard to know how just much charter growth is impacting traditional schools’ budgets, in part because state law doesn’t let districts consider the potential fiscal drain when authorizing new charters.

Among large urban districts, data show, Oakland has the state’s highest concentration of charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But L.A. and Oakland are exceptions. There were 73 school districts in CALmatters’ database with total enrollments higher than 20,000 students—a group that accounts for more than half of the state’s public school enrollment. Of those, only 18 (San Diego, San Francisco and Chula Vista Elementary school districts also were among them) had more than 10 percent of their total enrollment in charters. Dominating that list were districts in big cities and poorer communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In far more of California’s districts, charter schools are scarcely an option. Two dozen other big districts—in populous suburbs such as Irvine, Garden Grove, Fontana and Chino Valley in Orange and San Bernardino counties—authorized no charter schools at all in the past decade.

But a 2017 state audit pinpointed a handful of districts that had authorized charters as far as 50 miles outside their geographic boundaries—a lucrative arrangement that had increased revenue tenfold in at least one district, though the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bsa.ca.gov/reports/2016-141/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">auditor also found\u003c/a> that the districts weren’t necessarily delivering the oversight for which they were paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly one-fifth of the state’s 2017-18 total charter enrollment came from schools authorized by the state’s smallest school districts, according to CALmatters’ analysis. Excluding county education offices, districts that had less than 1,500 students in traditional public schools accounted for more than 108,000 charter students, or about 17 percent, state data show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s directory of public schools shows that some of the charter schools authorized by small districts with the most dramatically disproportionate charter enrollments have addresses that are far outside their boundaries. But state auditors noted that it is difficult to tally exactly how many charters operate with far-flung authorizers. The state does not require charter schools to report the locations of all of their classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any case, some of these small districts, such as Acton-Agua Dulce Unified in rural Los Angeles County and Dehesa Elementary School District in eastern San Diego County, experienced dramatic charter growth in the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dehesa, which enrolled 145 traditional district kids in 2017-18, grew its charter enrollment from 676 students in 2007-08 to more than 8,500 last year.

Luna and Sanchez said that Gohar showed up in a car with no license plates and demanded that they and the two other households living in the building move out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the tenants, Gohar said he would go to court for an eviction order if necessary. He told them he planned to renovate the old Victorian house that had been divided long ago into four apartments and rent the units out for much higher prices, they said. The tenants refused to leave and cited Oakland’s Just Cause for Eviction ordinance, which provides strong renter protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they said Gohar kept up the pressure by demanding large rent increases. Even though they had rent control, two tenants in the building, Christian Perez and Denia Caballero, agreed to pay significantly more, rather than continue fighting. Perez said he agreed to a $400 increase on top of his $1,000 monthly rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Luna and Sanchez objected. “We complained to the city of Oakland,” said Sanchez in a recent interview. A hearing officer with the city’s Rent Adjustment Program blocked Gohar from raising the $600 monthly rent on their studio unit by more than $50.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afterward, Luna and Sanchez said that Gohar retaliated by ignoring requests to fix their broken stove, provide their building with fire extinguishers, and replace the moldy carpet. City code enforcement records confirm that Luna and Sanchez filed a complaint about the broken stove and other problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when FBI agents knocked on their doors in January 2018 asking about Gohar’s activities, the renters assumed that relief from the constant threat of eviction was on its way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We always cooperated with them,” said Luna about the FBI’s inquiries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all too soon, Luna and the other tenants found themselves facing eviction again — this time from the federal law enforcement officials who took over management of their building. After prosecutors indicted Gohar on criminal charges, they seized his Oakland rental properties. In January, the U.S. Marshals Service, which acts as the custodian of the seized buildings, began moving to evict the renters and sell off the buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tenants, some of whom have lived there for more than a decade, said it’s unfair to be pushed out of their homes despite playing no part in the crimes of which Gohar is accused.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Illegal Slot Machine Ring\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It turned out that Gohar was netting hundreds of thousands of dollars a month from a network of illegal video slot machines hidden in smoke shops and liquor stores across Northern California, according to federal prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christian Norgaard, a special agent with the state Bureau of Gambling Control, said in an affidavit that Gohar, an Israeli citizen living in Berkeley, was investing some of the illicit proceeds in Oakland real estate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the multi-unit house on East 11th Street in Oakland’s Eastlake neighborhood, in 2017 Gohar had also purchased a nearby triplex on 7th Avenue and an uninhabited warehouse on Solano Way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agents arrested Gohar on Dec. 8, 2017. Prosecutors argued that Gohar should be held without bond because he was dangerous, owned real estate in foreign countries and might flee the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to court testimony from FBI Agent Daniel Bryant, Gohar had allegedly threatened to break the legs of a convenience store owner who had cooperated with investigators, calling him an “Arabic asshole.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, three weeks later Gohar was released on $200,000 bond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few days after Gohar got out of jail, a Berkeley police officer spotted him driving recklessly in his 2017 Porsche Panamera, according to a complaint filed by prosecutors. Gohar crashed into two parked cars and “the officer observed one of the Porsche’s wheels fly off the Vehicle,” according to the complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors asked a judge to revoke Gohar’s bond, but Gohar never showed up to his next hearing, scheduled on Jan. 3, 2017. He disappeared and remains a fugitive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February 2018, after Gohar fled, the government seized his Oakland rental properties and the U.S. Marshals took over as the new landlord.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>New Landlords Bring New Demands\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>According to the three households living in the East 11th Street property, the U.S. Marshals delivered new lease agreements in June and told them to sign, or be evicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the leases didn’t change the tenants’ rent, they did include new terms. One was that the tenants would have to make and pay for any repairs themselves. Another was that their new landlord, the U.S. Marshals Service, be allowed to enter their apartments with just 12 hours’ notice, instead of the 24 hours required under state law. And the leases had one key provision: The marshals could evict the tenants — for any reason — with just 30 days notice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two households living in the 7th Avenue building signed the new leases. And Perez and Caballero also signed the agreements. But Luna and Sanchez refused to sign and contacted Jackie Zaneri, a housing attorney with the nonprofit Centro Legal de la Raza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaneri said the new leases included several provisions that are illegal under state and local laws, in particular the terms allowing the marshals to evict renters for no cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaneri sent a letter to Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Khasigian, the prosecutor who originally filed the paperwork to seize the buildings from Gohar, challenging the validity of the new leases the marshals were demanding the tenants sign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaneri wrote that under Oakland’s Just Cause ordinance, her clients could not be evicted without substantial grounds, such as failing to pay rent. Moreover, she wrote, Oakland law prohibits landlords from unilaterally changing the terms of a lease agreement and evicting a tenant for refusing to sign it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although some of the households did sign the new occupancy agreements with the marshals, Zaneri believes those leases are not enforceable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A tenant can’t waive their rights under state and local law,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Half a year passed after Zaneri contacted Khasigian, and the government didn’t take any further action. Zaneri said she thought her letter had caused the government to withdraw its demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But last month, armed federal marshals showed up at both properties and handed out eviction notices to all the tenants demanding that they leave by Feb. 24. The marshals told them the buildings were up for sale and they had to move out, Perez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perez, who lives in the East 11th Street building with his two children, said the marshals were an intimidating presence. “We’re scared,” he said. “Are they going to arrest us?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The notices also asked the tenants to notify Kevin Brown, a local real estate agent with Better Homes Realty, when they vacated the property. After Feb. 24, the notices explain, locks will be changed and any possessions left behind will be thrown away. A similar eviction notice was provided to tenants living in the 7th Avenue building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m glad the tenants came to us rather than taking these threatening notices at face value,” said Zaneri, who has advised the tenants that they have the right to stay in their homes. “State law protections don’t allow any landlord to do these sorts of things, and the federal government is no exception.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Asset Forfeiture\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Marshals did not respond to specific questions about their attempts to evict the Oakland tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just days before the eviction deadline, a spokesperson for the agency said they were reversing their decision to evict the tenants from both properties. Notices to rescind the evictions were sent to Zaneri on Feb. 15 and to the tenants on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, a U.S. Marshals spokesperson said the original notices to vacate were made at the direction of the buyers. “However, both buyers have since reversed their decisions and are allowing the occupants to stay on after the sales go to settlement,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The marshals’ statement did not explain what legal authority allows purchasers of rental housing to direct the government to evict existing tenants. But the statement also explained that the agency routinely enters into “occupancy agreements” with renters who live in buildings that are seized under the asset forfeiture program and that these agreements include 30-day termination clauses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the marshals enter into a contract to sell a building, they can issue a 30-day notice for the tenants to vacate the property, the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether a notice to vacate is issued is determined by the terms of the sales agreement. If the buyer wants the occupant(s) to stay on, then no 30-day notice to vacate is issued,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaneri said she thinks that the agency was trying to obtain the highest prices for the buildings. Empty apartment buildings are worth much more than buildings occupied by tenants who have rent control, because it allows a landlord to set rents at the highest levels possible, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A U.S. Marshals’ website advertising properties seized through the federal Justice Department’s asset forfeiture program contains for-sale listings for both apartment buildings, and real estate site Zillow lists the property as \u003ca href=\"https://www.zillow.com/homes/925-E-11th-St,-Oakland,-CA-94606_rb/\">under contract\u003c/a> with an asking price of $600,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several phone calls and emails to Khasigian, the U.S. assistant attorney who filed the complaint to seize the Gohar properties, went unreturned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the U.S. Attorney General’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/jm/jm-9-118000-ag-guidelines-seized-and-forfeited-property\">Guidelines on Seized and Forfeited Property\u003c/a>, the goal of the asset forfeiture program is to “punish and deter” criminal activity by confiscating property used in the commission of a crime, or acquired through illegal activities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program is also a moneymaker for law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through the asset forfeiture program, the government seized $1.4 billion in funds and property last year, including cash, vehicles, boats, firearms and real estate. The U.S. Marshals handle management and sale of real estate seized under the program, and federal and local law enforcement agencies get a share of the revenue, which can be used to pay for law enforcement programs and equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, the realtor with Better Homes Realty helping the government sell both Oakland properties, said he couldn’t comment on his role in the transaction without permission from the Marshals Service. He said that he believes the federal government doesn’t have to follow state and local housing laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Zaneri disagrees. She said that the U.S. Marshals’ actions were illegal from the start and that the tenants were preparing to file a lawsuit to protect their rights to stay in their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other housing law experts say that the federal government can’t ignore local eviction laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know of no authority that gives the U.S. government the ability to circumvent and ignore the application of Oakland’s Just Cause for Eviction ordinance as it attempts to remove these lawful occupants,” said Meghan Gordon, an attorney who is the director of the East Bay Community Law Center’s housing practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of what’s legal, the tenants said they want the government to do what’s right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we expect from them as the government is something better than a criminal,” said Luna. “We want them to respect our rights and follow the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Correction:\u003c/strong> This story was updated to include the U.S. Marshals’ decision to cancel the evictions and to include information from a statement provided by the U.S. Marshals after publication.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Luna and Sanchez said that Gohar showed up in a car with no license plates and demanded that they and the two other households living in the building move out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the tenants, Gohar said he would go to court for an eviction order if necessary. He told them he planned to renovate the old Victorian house that had been divided long ago into four apartments and rent the units out for much higher prices, they said. The tenants refused to leave and cited Oakland’s Just Cause for Eviction ordinance, which provides strong renter protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they said Gohar kept up the pressure by demanding large rent increases. Even though they had rent control, two tenants in the building, Christian Perez and Denia Caballero, agreed to pay significantly more, rather than continue fighting. Perez said he agreed to a $400 increase on top of his $1,000 monthly rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A hearing officer with the city’s Rent Adjustment Program blocked Gohar from raising the $600 monthly rent on their studio unit by more than $50.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afterward, Luna and Sanchez said that Gohar retaliated by ignoring requests to fix their broken stove, provide their building with fire extinguishers, and replace the moldy carpet. City code enforcement records confirm that Luna and Sanchez filed a complaint about the broken stove and other problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when FBI agents knocked on their doors in January 2018 asking about Gohar’s activities, the renters assumed that relief from the constant threat of eviction was on its way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We always cooperated with them,” said Luna about the FBI’s inquiries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all too soon, Luna and the other tenants found themselves facing eviction again — this time from the federal law enforcement officials who took over management of their building.

He won National League Rookie of the Year in 1956, hitting .290 with 38 home runs at age 20 for the Reds. And while he never led his league in a Triple Crown category other than in 1966 when he managed it in all three, he led his league in slugging percentage, OPS and OPS+ four times, including three years in a row (1960-62).
