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.",

"content": "\u003cp>This Tuesday, voters in Long Beach turned out to elect a new state senator. Odds are that’s news to you—even if you happen to live in Long Beach. A \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LACountyRRCC/status/1110787717468585990\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">preliminary tally \u003c/a> indicates that less than a measly 7 percent of the district’s registered voters cast a ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even by the subdued standards of an off-year state Senate special election, single-digit turnout marks a historic low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps unsurprisingly, some Democratic legislators in California—a state that already makes it easier to vote than almost any other—are trying to make it even easier. Assemblyman Evan Low, a Silicon Valley Democrat, is the latest to take up that cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Low’s bill\u003c/a> would make election day a state holiday, giving the day off to state employees and closing schools and college campuses. Supporters say the holiday would allow more schools to serve as polling stations and let college students volunteer as poll workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Other states are looking at increasing barriers to entry,” said Low, noting the recent proliferation of state voter ID laws. “We do the opposite in California. We believe that we are a stronger democracy by having more people participate in the process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low has also proposed changing the state constitution to allow 17-year-olds to vote. If it passes the Legislature by a two-thirds margin, it would require voter approval—assuming it survives any \u003ca href=\"http://scocablog.com/lowering-the-voting-age-in-california-possible-but-not-without-problems/#_edn15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legal challenges\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such proposals have become an increasingly easy political sell here.

The cloud computing giant has donated $4.7 million to the Yes on C campaign, with another $1 million coming from CEO Marc Benioff.

And there’s those who won’t give at all no matter what.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Implied in that second group was Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who Benioff traded jabs with over Proposition C.

Thanks to Benioff, the “yes” side has raked in four times as much in contributions, according to \u003ca href=\"https://sfethics.org/ethics/2018/03/campaign-finance-dashboards-june-5-2018-and-november-6-2018-elections.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data\u003c/a> from the San Francisco Department of Elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benioff’s stance on Proposition C has also caused a fissure with a political ally: San Francisco Mayor London Breed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benioff said the need for sustained homeless funding is best illustrated by a call he recently got from the mayor. Breed was looking for a donation of $8 million to acquire a site that could be used for affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s out of money. Her budget was fully maxed,” Benioff said. “The city has these shovel-ready projects ready to go and we can directly address these homeless people if we have more directed funding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed disagrees, not only with the nature of the call — she said she asked Benioff for the immediate donation because a budget supplemental would have taken too long to secure the units — but with the idea that San Francisco can hike taxes for homeless services without consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Can big business pay more to support this? Yes, they can,” Breed told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But things like a ballot measure need to be handled more responsibly,” she added. “Making sure that as we try and tax, that there aren’t the unintended consequences of job loss for middle-income residents. I mean manufacturing, retail, those are things that are important to San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11690711\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11690711\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/LondonBreed-800x552.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco Mayor London Breed.\" width=\"800\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/LondonBreed-800x552.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/LondonBreed-160x110.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/LondonBreed-1020x704.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/LondonBreed-1200x828.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/LondonBreed.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/LondonBreed-1180x814.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/LondonBreed-960x663.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/LondonBreed-240x166.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/LondonBreed-375x259.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/LondonBreed-520x359.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco Mayor London Breed. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The city’s economic analysis of Proposition C finds that retail would be the sector most at risk of job loss, but that the tax’s overall impact on jobs would be insignificant: an estimated loss of 0.1 percent of all jobs in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brimming beneath Breed’s warning of job flight, and her stated desire for the city to get a better handle on how it spends the $300 million already dedicated to homelessness, seems to be a political frustration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor was elected in June on a promise to address the crisis. If Proposition C passes and doubles the city’s homeless budget, it will likely be Breed — not Benioff or the homeless advocates who wrote the measure — who will be judged for its results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to make sure that I’m being held accountable for the decisions I make,” she said. “Not the decisions that other people are making.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s a chance the heated debate over Proposition C could actually stretch past November. Supporters are hoping that a recent state Supreme Court ruling will allow the citizens’ initiative to pass with a majority vote. Historically, local measures that directed funding to a specific source, like homeless services, required a two-thirds vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax measures in Mountain View and East Palo Alto have come with significantly fewer political fireworks, but also reflect a shift toward demanding greater corporate responsibility to take on the Bay Area’s vexing housing and transportation problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11647955\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11647955 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS378_Google_082411-800x504.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"504\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign is posted outside Google headquarters Jan. 21, 2010, in Mountain View, California. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Measure HH in East Palo Alto would tax large commercial office space at a rate of $2.50 per square foot to pay for affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters are hoping to capitalize on the recent growth of Amazon in the city, and Facebook’s expansion in nearby Menlo Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re just trying to protect our community and have a fair share that will improve the lives of more people,” said Mayor Ruben Abrica. “We’re also trying to be proactive because we know that other development is going to take place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mountain View’s tax is more heavily directed toward a single company: Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed “head tax” in Measure P would tax companies for each employee, with larger companies paying higher rates.

Proposition C differs because it would dedicate all the revenue it raises to homeless programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’ve seen in the past is tinkering, and I don’t think voters have a lot of patience for that,” said Friedenbach. “They want to see big change.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/JYKxFrMkzKA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/JYKxFrMkzKA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>It’s estimated that 300 to 400 companies would pay the Proposition C tax hike.

Yes, they can,” Breed told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But things like a ballot measure need to be handled more responsibly,” she added. “Making sure that as we try and tax, that there aren’t the unintended consequences of job loss for middle-income residents.

In this episode for the Bay Curious Prop Week, we’re going to be hearing about rent control, the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act and Prop 10. Here’s reporter Jessica Placzek\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JESSICA PLACZEK: Prop 10 wants to overturn Costa-Hawkins. But what is Costa-Hawkins? To understand that, we need to go back to 1995. It was the year that Brad Pitt won sexiest man alive, Amazon sold its first book and one of my favorite Mariah Carey songs topped the charts…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“Fantasy” by Mariah Carey plays\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: But we’re here to talk about housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: At the time, the state was recovering from a housing slump and construction of new housing had slowed down. That’s when two politicians decided to try to curb rent control. The politicians were Democratic Senator Jim Costa and Republican Assembly Member Phil Hawkins. Together they drafted the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MATT LEVIN: And it passed by one vote. That shapes rent control policy across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: This is Matt Levin, a data reporter for CalMatters and co-host of the housing podcast, “Gimme Shelter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: Now, Costa-Hawkins limits rent control in a few big ways. For example, it barred rent control on most single family homes and condos. So most of the suburbs can’t have rent control. It also barred rent control on new buildings. So if a building was constructed after the law took effect, that building cannot have rent control on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LEVIN: You can’t impose rent control on properties that were built after 1995.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: The thing is, before Costa-Hawkins was passed, about a dozen cities already had rent control laws. And some had their own cutoff dates that had been established earlier. Those dates were frozen by Costa-Hawkins. So in Oakland, the cutoff is in 1983. Berkeley in 1980. While in San Jose and San Francisco, nothing built after 1979 can have rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LEVIN: And so anything new and nice looking in San Francisco is not going to have rent control on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: Another thing Costa-Hawkins changed: it eliminated vacancy control, which ties rent control to the apartment instead of the tenant. With Costa-Hawkins, we have vacancy decontrol, which means if a tenant moves out of a rent controlled apartment, landlords can raise the rent as high as they please.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LEVIN: I see old apartments all the time. They’re total pieces of crap, and they’re charging like a bazillion dollars, right? But once you get into that apartment, they’re limited in how much more they can raise it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: Today, only 15 cities have rent control in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LEVIN: It’s really the bigger cities, so L.A., San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: But because of Costa-Hawkins, many units in those cities are barred from having rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: In California, more than one in five households pays over half its income on housing. People are looking for ways to ease housing costs and some are looking toward rent control. This actually won’t be the first attempt to overturn Costa-Hawkins. Earlier this year, a bill went before state legislators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ASSEMBLYMAN DAVID CHIU: This bill required 4 votes to get out of this committee, at this time there are 3, so AB 1506 fails passage today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: It didn’t get too far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Audience boos\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[2018-prop prop=10]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: Ok, so now that you understand Costa-Hawkins, we can talk about Prop 10, which would upend that legislation. Here to talk about it with me is Guy Marzorati of the KQED Politics and Government Desk. Hey, Guy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GUY MARZORATI: Hey!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: So walk us through Prop 10, what are we voting on?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: I think it’s easy to look at this as a measure all about rent control. I think it’s largely about local control. This is taking something, rent control, that’s been dominated by state laws over the last couple of decades, and it would turn it over to individual cities and counties in California and say, “if Proposition 10 passes, what do you want to do about rent control? How would you like to govern the prices of rent within your city or within your county?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: So what does the prop actually say?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: It’s repealing Costa-Hawkins and taking us back to the time before that law when cities could implement their own rent control laws on an individual basis. And so you had some places like San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland that already had rent control on the books before Costa-Hawkins. But you had the vast majority of California cities without any rent control laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: So if this passes and Costa-Hawkins is overturned, what does it actually mean? Like what happens the next day? Do we suddenly have rent control everywhere?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: No, you don’t. There would be some cities that had certain pieces of their rent control that were explicitly outlawed by Costa-Hawkins. If Costa-Hawkins goes away, they can have vacancy control once again. But for the vast majority of cities nothing would change the day after the election or once the elections are certified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: So it’s not like we’re going to have a flood of rent control laws suddenly coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: Absolutely not. I think here in the Bay Area there’s really just been one city, Berkeley, that’s put forward a measure saying if Proposition 10 passes here’s exactly how we would change or how we would expand our rent control laws. They want to introduce rent control on a rolling basis for buildings. So as buildings hit their 20th birthday, they age into rent control. But for most cities they haven’t figured that out. And I think what you’re going to see is a lot of long public comment lines at local supervisor committees, city council committees, as cities possibly take rent control up after a possible post-Prop 10 future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: And, in a nutshell, what would this mean for renters in California and what would this mean for landlords?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: So I think there’s limited actual research on what rent control does. And like every housing thing, it doesn’t happen in a vacuum. You have all of these other housing laws intersecting with it. I think broadly speaking, the research has shown that if you are a current renter, rent control helps you stay in your unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: If you have rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: If you have rent control. And that’s particularly true if you’re a senior citizen and you may be on a fixed income. Rent control can help stabilize the amount that you’re paying out for rent and it can help you remain in a unit. On the flip side, the evidence shows that it is a disincentive to actually build housing. If a developer is limited in the amount that they can make off of a rental unit, well, maybe they’re not going to build rental units, maybe they’ll just build condominiums or apartments for sale. And as we know, California has a huge shortage of actual housing units. So that’s the fear. If you take away this incentive for development then we’re going to worsen our shortage of units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: There have been a lot of rent control measures that have been on the ballots, on local ballots around the Bay Area, and I think predominantly those have not passed. Why is that and do you think that trend will hold for this statewide prop?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: Well I think the political reality is that landlords are well organized in the state. The Apartment Association has well funded campaigns. They’re very politically active. And so in the past you’ve seen some mixed success on local ballots in terms of rent control. Although there have also been recent rent control victories in Mountain View and other places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: So it’s hard to say local measures haven’t done as well and predicate failure for this measure. I think there’s just a groundswell of energy around this idea of rent control because it’s really easy to sell, to just say “the rent is too darn high.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: You can say damn, it’s a podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousbug]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: Too damn high! We need some kind of solution. All that said, the political reality is California is at an all time low of home-ownership rates. We know homeowners are usually more politically active, and renters by nature are more transient. So I think that’s a harder demographic to capture politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: So you mentioned who is supporting this prop. Who is against it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: As you’d expect, developers are against it. They see this as a huge cut into their business. If local jurisdictions start to limit the amount that they can charge on rents, well then how are they going to finance these rental buildings? And maybe they’re just going to go and build market rate units and condos. Developers also fear that this would create a patchwork of different rules. I think one thing they like about Costa-Hawkins is that it’s a state mandate. It governs this huge market that they develop in. If all of a sudden every individual city has their own rent control laws, that can make business harder for them. So developers have been financially the biggest opponents of Prop 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: All right, well it’s going to be interesting to see how voters respond to this one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: Yes, will be interesting to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: Guy Mazorati with the KQED Politics and Government Desk. Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Theme music\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: If you want to know more about the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, or Proposition 10, Guy will be taking your questions in a Facebook Live on Oct. 24. You can go ahead and RSVP ahead of time so you’ll get a handy reminder when it rolls around. Get all the details at BayCurious.org.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: This episode was produced by Jessica Placzek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: That’s it for Bay Curious Prop Week! Thanks so much for listening along. We hope this has been helpful and that you’ve learned a lot — I know I have.

And some had their own cutoff dates that had been established earlier. Those dates were frozen by Costa-Hawkins. So in Oakland, the cutoff is in 1983. Berkeley in 1980. While in San Jose and San Francisco, nothing built after 1979 can have rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LEVIN: And so anything new and nice looking in San Francisco is not going to have rent control on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: Another thing Costa-Hawkins changed: it eliminated vacancy control, which ties rent control to the apartment instead of the tenant. With Costa-Hawkins, we have vacancy decontrol, which means if a tenant moves out of a rent controlled apartment, landlords can raise the rent as high as they please.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LEVIN: I see old apartments all the time. They’re total pieces of crap, and they’re charging like a bazillion dollars, right? But once you get into that apartment, they’re limited in how much more they can raise it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: Today, only 15 cities have rent control in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LEVIN: It’s really the bigger cities, so L.A., San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: But because of Costa-Hawkins, many units in those cities are barred from having rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: In California, more than one in five households pays over half its income on housing. People are looking for ways to ease housing costs and some are looking toward rent control. This actually won’t be the first attempt to overturn Costa-Hawkins. Earlier this year, a bill went before state legislators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ASSEMBLYMAN DAVID CHIU: This bill required 4 votes to get out of this committee, at this time there are 3, so AB 1506 fails passage today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PLACZEK: It didn’t get too far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Audience boos\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: Ok, so now that you understand Costa-Hawkins, we can talk about Prop 10, which would upend that legislation. Here to talk about it with me is Guy Marzorati of the KQED Politics and Government Desk. Hey, Guy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GUY MARZORATI: Hey!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: So walk us through Prop 10, what are we voting on?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: I think it’s easy to look at this as a measure all about rent control. I think it’s largely about local control. This is taking something, rent control, that’s been dominated by state laws over the last couple of decades, and it would turn it over to individual cities and counties in California and say, “if Proposition 10 passes, what do you want to do about rent control? How would you like to govern the prices of rent within your city or within your county?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: So what does the prop actually say?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: It’s repealing Costa-Hawkins and taking us back to the time before that law when cities could implement their own rent control laws on an individual basis. And so you had some places like San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland that already had rent control on the books before Costa-Hawkins. But you had the vast majority of California cities without any rent control laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: So if this passes and Costa-Hawkins is overturned, what does it actually mean? Like what happens the next day? Do we suddenly have rent control everywhere?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: No, you don’t. There would be some cities that had certain pieces of their rent control that were explicitly outlawed by Costa-Hawkins. If Costa-Hawkins goes away, they can have vacancy control once again. But for the vast majority of cities nothing would change the day after the election or once the elections are certified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: So it’s not like we’re going to have a flood of rent control laws suddenly coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: Absolutely not. I think here in the Bay Area there’s really just been one city, Berkeley, that’s put forward a measure saying if Proposition 10 passes here’s exactly how we would change or how we would expand our rent control laws. They want to introduce rent control on a rolling basis for buildings. So as buildings hit their 20th birthday, they age into rent control. But for most cities they haven’t figured that out. And I think what you’re going to see is a lot of long public comment lines at local supervisor committees, city council committees, as cities possibly take rent control up after a possible post-Prop 10 future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: And, in a nutshell, what would this mean for renters in California and what would this mean for landlords?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: So I think there’s limited actual research on what rent control does. And like every housing thing, it doesn’t happen in a vacuum. You have all of these other housing laws intersecting with it. I think broadly speaking, the research has shown that if you are a current renter, rent control helps you stay in your unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: If you have rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: If you have rent control. And that’s particularly true if you’re a senior citizen and you may be on a fixed income. Rent control can help stabilize the amount that you’re paying out for rent and it can help you remain in a unit. On the flip side, the evidence shows that it is a disincentive to actually build housing. If a developer is limited in the amount that they can make off of a rental unit, well, maybe they’re not going to build rental units, maybe they’ll just build condominiums or apartments for sale. And as we know, California has a huge shortage of actual housing units. So that’s the fear. If you take away this incentive for development then we’re going to worsen our shortage of units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: There have been a lot of rent control measures that have been on the ballots, on local ballots around the Bay Area, and I think predominantly those have not passed. Why is that and do you think that trend will hold for this statewide prop?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: Well I think the political reality is that landlords are well organized in the state. The Apartment Association has well funded campaigns. They’re very politically active. And so in the past you’ve seen some mixed success on local ballots in terms of rent control. Although there have also been recent rent control victories in Mountain View and other places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: So it’s hard to say local measures haven’t done as well and predicate failure for this measure. I think there’s just a groundswell of energy around this idea of rent control because it’s really easy to sell, to just say “the rent is too darn high.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: You can say damn, it’s a podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003caside class=\"alignleft utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__bayCuriousPodcastShortcode__bayCurious\">\u003cimg src=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bayCuriousLogo.png alt=\"Bay Curious Podcast\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n What do you wonder about the Bay Area, its culture or people that you want KQED to investigate?\n \u003ca href=\"/news/series/baycurious\">Ask Bay Curious.\u003c/a>\u003c/aside>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: Too damn high! We need some kind of solution. All that said, the political reality is California is at an all time low of home-ownership rates. We know homeowners are usually more politically active, and renters by nature are more transient. So I think that’s a harder demographic to capture politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: So you mentioned who is supporting this prop. Who is against it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: As you’d expect, developers are against it. They see this as a huge cut into their business. If local jurisdictions start to limit the amount that they can charge on rents, well then how are they going to finance these rental buildings? And maybe they’re just going to go and build market rate units and condos. Developers also fear that this would create a patchwork of different rules. I think one thing they like about Costa-Hawkins is that it’s a state mandate. It governs this huge market that they develop in. If all of a sudden every individual city has their own rent control laws, that can make business harder for them. So developers have been financially the biggest opponents of Prop 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: All right, well it’s going to be interesting to see how voters respond to this one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MARZORATI: Yes, will be interesting to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: Guy Mazorati with the KQED Politics and Government Desk.

In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/ppic-statewide-survey-september-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent survey\u003c/a> from the Public Policy Institute of California, opponents of the repeal outnumbered supporters statewide by a 13-point margin — and by 15 points in Orange and San Diego counties. The polling was conducted by reading the official ballot language, which emphasizes the loss in transportation funding over any mention of repeal. The same poll found voters in favor of “a more general question about repealing the recent increases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are still confident that higher prices at the pump will turn voters against Democratic congressional candidates, and turn the conversation away from the actions of Republicans in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The gas tax is a great issue for us,” said Fred Whitaker, chairman of the Orange County Republican Party. “Because the gas tax and the vehicle license fee are probably the most unpopular thing the Legislature has done in the last two years, if not the last 10.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange County Republicans need only point back to June for one casualty claimed by the gas tax increase. Democratic state Sen. Josh Newman was recalled from his Fullerton seat in a campaign driven by opposition to his \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11395314/in-big-win-for-gov-brown-state-legislature-oks-major-transportation-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vote for Senate Bill 1\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The average person in California doesn’t necessarily know who their elected representative is, but they obviously became very aware of the gas tax,” Newman said. “It has a visceral quality that I think was easily mined.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newman was one of 27 state senators (including one Republican) who voted for the increase. But in his recall campaign, opponents characterized his support as the “deciding vote” to pass the legislation. He said the direct interaction that drivers have with the price at the pump could make the tax an attractive issue for Republicans to continue hammering in local congressional races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly if you can focus a voter’s interest and anger in one direction, that’s useful and people have gotten very good at that,” Newman said. “The response is actually very complicated, to make the argument that California’s infrastructure is in need of investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faced with the task of defending President Trump (who remains deeply unpopular in the county) and their votes to roll back health care protections (California’s entire GOP delegation voted to repeal Obamacare last year), it’s no surprise that Republicans are welcoming a chance to talk about tax repeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conversation has put some Democrats hoping to flip Orange County seats in the position of defending the tax hike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gil Cisneros, who is running in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11694478/gop-retirement-leaves-socal-congressional-seat-up-for-grabs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">39th Congressional District against Republican Young Kim\u003c/a>, opposes the repeal. So does Democrat Harley Rouda, who is challenging incumbent Dana Rohrabacher in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11694570/will-showing-up-be-enough-for-harley-rouda-to-defeat-orange-county-incumbent-dana-rohrabacher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">48th District\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually think it’s comical that congressman Rohrabacher is making this an issue in the race,” Rouda said. “If this is the issue he wants to run on, then he should resign from Congress and run for state Assembly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the neighboring \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11694776/democrats-come-out-of-the-closet-in-historically-red-orange-county\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">45th District\u003c/a>, Democrat Katie Porter took a different path, announcing that she will vote for the repeal. She’s vying for Mimi Walters’ seat, the incumbent Republican.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When families are facing what’s going to be an economic shock of thousands of dollars come April, this is not the time for Orange County families to also be paying higher gas taxes,” Porter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That “economic shock” is the enactment of federal tax reform, the result of Republican legislation signed by Trump in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was that bill, and not state issues like the gas tax, that many Republicans saw as the levee to hold back a potential “blue wave.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in areas like suburban Orange County, the massive cuts made to the corporate tax rate were overshadowed by a new $10,000 cap on the amount of state and local taxes that residents can deduct from their federal burden — a big hit to residents with high incomes and home values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be an impact on us,” said Carolyn Cavecche, president and CEO of the Orange County Taxpayers Association, which opposed the federal tax reform bill. “For people at the national level to say that other states were ‘carrying people’ who were able to deduct their state and local taxes is ludicrous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amid local resistance, Orange County Republicans split on the tax reform bill: Walters voted to support the measure, while Rohrabacher and fellow Republican Darrell Issa, who represents the southern portion of the county, opposed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The loss of local deductions took tax reform off the table as a campaign issue for O.C. Republicans. And while Porter has \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/california/statements/2018/sep/07/katie-porter/fact-checking-democrat-katie-porters-tax-attack-ad/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">focused\u003c/a> on the issue in her campaign against Walters, Cavecche said the myriad of changes within the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/12/15/571258698/chart-how-the-new-version-of-the-republican-tax-bill-would-affect-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tax Cuts and Jobs Act\u003c/a> have made it a difficult issue for Democrats to drive home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s too hard for voters to be able to grasp. They will next year when they fill out their federal tax forms,” Cavecche said. “I think all of a sudden when they get to the bottom line there’s going to be a, ‘What the heck?’ But it’s an issue that can’t be explained and sold well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://mediaproject.wesleyan.edu/releases/issues-100418/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wesleyan Media Project\u003c/a>, which analyzes broadcast and national cable ad-buy data from Kantar Media/CMAG, finds that only a fraction of tax-related campaign ads in California races are related to the tax reform legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September, 12 percent of federal ads mentioned taxes, while just 4 percent of ads mentioned tax reform. That’s up from August, when just 1 percent of ads for federal office in California mentioned tax reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the blurred partisan lines on tax reform have complicated the Orange County-as-anti-tax-bastion stereotype, then so too has the proliferation of local taxes on ballots across the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five cities (Garden Grove, Laguna Beach, Placentia, Santa Ana and Seal Beach) are proposing sales tax increases on the November ballot, largely to address rising pension costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This follows the approval of sales tax hikes in Fountain Valley, La Palma, Stanton and Westminster in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, fiscal plights did little to persuade voters to hike taxes. When Orange County went bankrupt in the mid-1990s, residents voted down a sales tax that would have helped pay off debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, local jurisdictions are hoping that the momentum of a blue wave will prove a rising tide for municipal finances, says Fred Smoller, political science professor at Chapman University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that they’re counting on a larger Democratic turnout, particularly in the Latino community, that’s going to carry those tax increases forward,” Smoller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smoller adds that Orange County’s changing demographics are slowly shifting views on the issue of taxation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Originally when the boat people came over here following the Vietnam War, their main issue was anti-communism and anti-big government,” he said. “But the second generation has more or less forgotten the Vietnam War. And they’re trying to have health care, they need help paying for college, they realize they can’t do it all themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether support for local taxes will eventually grow into a greater acceptance for tax measures of all kinds remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a difference between how taxpayers look at Sacramento and how taxpayers look at their mayor and their city councilmember sitting down the street,” Carolyn Cavecche said. “I run into my mayor at the grocery store, I see my councilmember at Home Depot on the weekends. So there’s still a feeling of accountability and I’m going to see this money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cavecche is skeptical that any tax issue — local, state or federal — will decide the competitive House races that have put an outsized spotlight on Orange County this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I wonder if the federal tax cut and this gas tax, if it’s all just going to be kind of lost in this massive loud noise of people in the polls,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Marisa Lagos contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/ppic-statewide-survey-september-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent survey\u003c/a> from the Public Policy Institute of California, opponents of the repeal outnumbered supporters statewide by a 13-point margin — and by 15 points in Orange and San Diego counties. The polling was conducted by reading the official ballot language, which emphasizes the loss in transportation funding over any mention of repeal. The same poll found voters in favor of “a more general question about repealing the recent increases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Democratic state Sen. Josh Newman was recalled from his Fullerton seat in a campaign driven by opposition to his \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11395314/in-big-win-for-gov-brown-state-legislature-oks-major-transportation-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vote for Senate Bill 1\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The average person in California doesn’t necessarily know who their elected representative is, but they obviously became very aware of the gas tax,” Newman said. “It has a visceral quality that I think was easily mined.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newman was one of 27 state senators (including one Republican) who voted for the increase. But in his recall campaign, opponents characterized his support as the “deciding vote” to pass the legislation. He said the direct interaction that drivers have with the price at the pump could make the tax an attractive issue for Republicans to continue hammering in local congressional races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly if you can focus a voter’s interest and anger in one direction, that’s useful and people have gotten very good at that,” Newman said. “The response is actually very complicated, to make the argument that California’s infrastructure is in need of investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faced with the task of defending President Trump (who remains deeply unpopular in the county) and their votes to roll back health care protections (California’s entire GOP delegation voted to repeal Obamacare last year), it’s no surprise that Republicans are welcoming a chance to talk about tax repeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conversation has put some Democrats hoping to flip Orange County seats in the position of defending the tax hike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gil Cisneros, who is running in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11694478/gop-retirement-leaves-socal-congressional-seat-up-for-grabs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">39th Congressional District against Republican Young Kim\u003c/a>, opposes the repeal. So does Democrat Harley Rouda, who is challenging incumbent Dana Rohrabacher in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11694570/will-showing-up-be-enough-for-harley-rouda-to-defeat-orange-county-incumbent-dana-rohrabacher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">48th District\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually think it’s comical that congressman Rohrabacher is making this an issue in the race,” Rouda said. “If this is the issue he wants to run on, then he should resign from Congress and run for state Assembly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the neighboring \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11694776/democrats-come-out-of-the-closet-in-historically-red-orange-county\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">45th District\u003c/a>, Democrat Katie Porter took a different path, announcing that she will vote for the repeal. She’s vying for Mimi Walters’ seat, the incumbent Republican.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When families are facing what’s going to be an economic shock of thousands of dollars come April, this is not the time for Orange County families to also be paying higher gas taxes,” Porter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That “economic shock” is the enactment of federal tax reform, the result of Republican legislation signed by Trump in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was that bill, and not state issues like the gas tax, that many Republicans saw as the levee to hold back a potential “blue wave.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in areas like suburban Orange County, the massive cuts made to the corporate tax rate were overshadowed by a new $10,000 cap on the amount of state and local taxes that residents can deduct from their federal burden — a big hit to residents with high incomes and home values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be an impact on us,” said Carolyn Cavecche, president and CEO of the Orange County Taxpayers Association, which opposed the federal tax reform bill. “For people at the national level to say that other states were ‘carrying people’ who were able to deduct their state and local taxes is ludicrous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amid local resistance, Orange County Republicans split on the tax reform bill: Walters voted to support the measure, while Rohrabacher and fellow Republican Darrell Issa, who represents the southern portion of the county, opposed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The loss of local deductions took tax reform off the table as a campaign issue for O.C. Republicans. And while Porter has \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/california/statements/2018/sep/07/katie-porter/fact-checking-democrat-katie-porters-tax-attack-ad/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">focused\u003c/a> on the issue in her campaign against Walters, Cavecche said the myriad of changes within the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/12/15/571258698/chart-how-the-new-version-of-the-republican-tax-bill-would-affect-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tax Cuts and Jobs Act\u003c/a> have made it a difficult issue for Democrats to drive home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s too hard for voters to be able to grasp. They will next year when they fill out their federal tax forms,” Cavecche said. “I think all of a sudden when they get to the bottom line there’s going to be a, ‘What the heck?’ But it’s an issue that can’t be explained and sold well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://mediaproject.wesleyan.edu/releases/issues-100418/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wesleyan Media Project\u003c/a>, which analyzes broadcast and national cable ad-buy data from Kantar Media/CMAG, finds that only a fraction of tax-related campaign ads in California races are related to the tax reform legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September, 12 percent of federal ads mentioned taxes, while just 4 percent of ads mentioned tax reform. That’s up from August, when just 1 percent of ads for federal office in California mentioned tax reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the blurred partisan lines on tax reform have complicated the Orange County-as-anti-tax-bastion stereotype, then so too has the proliferation of local taxes on ballots across the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five cities (Garden Grove, Laguna Beach, Placentia, Santa Ana and Seal Beach) are proposing sales tax increases on the November ballot, largely to address rising pension costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This follows the approval of sales tax hikes in Fountain Valley, La Palma, Stanton and Westminster in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, fiscal plights did little to persuade voters to hike taxes. When Orange County went bankrupt in the mid-1990s, residents voted down a sales tax that would have helped pay off debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, local jurisdictions are hoping that the momentum of a blue wave will prove a rising tide for municipal finances, says Fred Smoller, political science professor at Chapman University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that they’re counting on a larger Democratic turnout, particularly in the Latino community, that’s going to carry those tax increases forward,” Smoller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smoller adds that Orange County’s changing demographics are slowly shifting views on the issue of taxation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Originally when the boat people came over here following the Vietnam War, their main issue was anti-communism and anti-big government,” he said. “But the second generation has more or less forgotten the Vietnam War. And they’re trying to have health care, they need help paying for college, they realize they can’t do it all themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether support for local taxes will eventually grow into a greater acceptance for tax measures of all kinds remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a difference between how taxpayers look at Sacramento and how taxpayers look at their mayor and their city councilmember sitting down the street,” Carolyn Cavecche said. “I run into my mayor at the grocery store, I see my councilmember at Home Depot on the weekends. So there’s still a feeling of accountability and I’m going to see this money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cavecche is skeptical that any tax issue — local, state or federal — will decide the competitive House races that have put an outsized spotlight on Orange County this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I wonder if the federal tax cut and this gas tax, if it’s all just going to be kind of lost in this massive loud noise of people in the polls,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
