"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

(Photo: Andrew Whalley)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Have you heard about the \u003ca href=\"http://www.spur.org/ocean-beach\">Ocean Beach Master Plan\u003c/a>? The San Francisco Planning + Urban Research Association (SPUR) is facilitating a coordinated effort among multiple agencies to create a \"sustainable long-range plan\" for San Francisco's shoreline. Why do we need a plan? Because erosion of the beach and anticipated rising sea levels may necessitate major changes in the infrastructure that serves the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September, economist Philip King of San Francisco State University \u003ca title=\"CW - blog post\" href=\"../../climatewatch/2011/09/13/the-price-of-rising-seas/\">unveiled a study\u003c/a> aimed at putting estimated price tags on potential economic losses from sea level rise, a study in which San Francisco’s Ocean Beach emerged as a major potential loser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, KQED's Molly Samuel talked about the Master Plan with Tom Prete, the editor and publisher-in-chief of KQED News associate \u003ca href=\"http://oceanbeachbulletin.com/\">The Ocean Beach Bulletin\u003c/a>. (Note: Mr. Prete did some work for SPUR previously.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What led up to this plan?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In large part this is a project that goes back many years through multiple permutations of task forces and projects under several different mayors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been people who are concerned that no single agency is responsible for Ocean Beach. The belief is that too many agencies are responsible for too many things and they don't always talk to each other or pull in the same direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So a lot of people who care about Ocean Beach have been trying to get everyone on the same page and create a way forward, something everyone can live with even if they don't get everything they want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Explain what agencies are involved with Ocean Beach. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beach itself is part of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/07/ocean-beach-master-plan-envisions-big-changes-for-great-highway/\">Golden Gate National Recreation Area\u003c/a> (GGNRA), from the O'Shaughnessy Seawall in the north, opposite the beach chalet that you walk up to to get to the Cliff House. Everything to the west, the sand side, is GGNRA, down to the wet sand of the beach. On the other side of that seawall is the parking, which is city property. So the city manages and is responsible for the parking lot, but if you go down those steps, you're on federal property. Those are the two main agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC has a great deal of infrastructure that is at or near the beach. There's a major sewage transport tunnel that lies under the Great Highway, which feeds the oceanside water pollution control plant at the south end of Ocean Beach. That's city property that is operated by the SF Public Utilities Commission, but the responsibility for maintaining infrastructure like the road and the oceanside water pollution control plant is all done by the SF Dept of Public Works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition there are responsibilities that overlap.

We're seeing some erosion, especially on the south end of Ocean Beach, that could be attributable simply to singular storms. Those have caused some major problems, including the closure for several months of the southern extension of the Great Highway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in addition to those singular events, there is the likelihood that the sea level is going to rise, and when we get large storm surges, they're going to have a greater impact than they have now. So the question is what is the impact going to be on the beach? Are we going to have a nice sandy beach, or in order to protect some of these things like the Great Highway and the sewer transport tunnel and the water pollution control plant, are we going to have to install large seawalls or something like that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does the plan put forward some suggestions on this? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It does. One of the important ideas presented under the draft recommendation for the Ocean Beach master plan would be to reroute that southern extension of the Great Highway that was closed, around the backside of the zoo so that it no longer passes to the west of the water pollution plant, but instead goes around the other side and connects with Sloat Boulevard. So southbound traffic on the Great Highway would no longer go past Sloat and around the water plant to Skyway Blvd around Lake Merced, but instead would turn east on Sloat and meet up with Lake Merced Boulevard to west of the zoo.

I got email from a reader who wondered that if there's ever a need for emergency transportation out of SF, where are the residents of Richmond and Sunset going to go? How do they get out of the city if they're not going north over the Golden Gate Bridge or east across the city? If they need to go south, how do they get there? The surface roads we have there are not designed to handle a great pulse of traffic like that. The Great Highway is in this reader's opinion a necessary artery out of the city for those residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one of the questions is: can we maintain the Great Highway there no matter what we do? Is the ocean going to make a decision for us if we don't make one through the master plan now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It seems like the sand dunes already make a decision about that with great regularity...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exactly. The Great Highway is closed frequently for the removal of sand. One thing I often hear out here is people questioning the wisdom of creating a highway out here in the first place. At the time it was built, this part of the city was largely sand dunes still. I find a lot of people in particular are perplexed that anyone would think to build a four-lane road on top of sand dunes.

The belief is that too many agencies are responsible for too many things and they don't always talk to each other or pull in the same direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So a lot of people who care about Ocean Beach have been trying to get everyone on the same page and create a way forward, something everyone can live with even if they don't get everything they want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Explain what agencies are involved with Ocean Beach. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beach itself is part of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/07/ocean-beach-master-plan-envisions-big-changes-for-great-highway/\">Golden Gate National Recreation Area\u003c/a> (GGNRA), from the O'Shaughnessy Seawall in the north, opposite the beach chalet that you walk up to to get to the Cliff House. Everything to the west, the sand side, is GGNRA, down to the wet sand of the beach. On the other side of that seawall is the parking, which is city property. So the city manages and is responsible for the parking lot, but if you go down those steps, you're on federal property. Those are the two main agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC has a great deal of infrastructure that is at or near the beach. There's a major sewage transport tunnel that lies under the Great Highway, which feeds the oceanside water pollution control plant at the south end of Ocean Beach. That's city property that is operated by the SF Public Utilities Commission, but the responsibility for maintaining infrastructure like the road and the oceanside water pollution control plant is all done by the SF Dept of Public Works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition there are responsibilities that overlap.

She said \"it seemed like the [morning raid] had met its goals. It seemed that was done as peacefully as possible...But I'm now hearing that maybe there was one or two incidents. But I don't know.

In the meantime, the city’s new interim Police Chief Howard Jordan \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/article/oakland-selects-assistant-chief-jordan-again-lead-police-department\">began his first full week\u003c/a> on the job after \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/10/13/quan-names-howard-jordan-a-interim-police-chief/\">being sworn\u003c/a> in last Thursday, following the resignation of Anthony Batts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On KQED’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201110170900\">Forum this morning\u003c/a>, Jordan brushed off a question about the city’s bureaucracy — something that former chief Batts said got in the way of getting things done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are things that you would come to expect in a big city,” Jordan told Forum Host Michael Krasny. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I think it’s just a matter of how you deal with them — you have to prioritize.

Hiram Johnson and his Progressive-era backers could have imagined in 1911.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the inflexibility: Once an initiative qualifies for the ballot, there's almost no going back. It can only be removed by the courts (in rare circumstances), and if voters approve it, it can usually only be stricken from the books or amended by -- you guessed it -- another initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means that the drafters of these initiatives, be they average citizens (whose ideas rarely make it to the ballot these days) or powerful interest groups, have little incentive to work with the Legislature to enact their plans, and almost no outside system to check whether the measure will have unintended consequences. If backers have the momentum and money, they can get pretty much get anything on the statewide ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The referendum and recall are rarely used. Some observers have suggested that the referendum -- a method by which voters overturn decisions made at the state Capitol -- is actually the better tool than the initiative, and that it's a sensible check on the powers of elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the leading reform suggestions being kicked around? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the initiative process, the proposals include a new system to allow legislators the chance to write the proposal into law themselves and thus avoid an expensive campaign; changes to make it easier for grassroots groups to qualify an initiative rather than only well-funded efforts that pay several dollars per voter signature gathered; and requirements that any initiative proposing to spend tax dollars or cut taxes include a specific way to pay for that change in government funding (thus avoiding initiatives that only exacerbate the state's fiscal woes).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the initiative process is enshrined in the California Constitution, and the only way to amend that document is by a vote of the people (either through a legislative ballot measure or an initiative ballot measure). Getting it on the ballot would be hard enough; winning a campaign that may be opposed by powerful defenders of the status quo is another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others have suggested making it easier to qualify a referendum -- thus, possibly channeling some of the energy away from initiatives. (I \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2011/08/18/refer-madness-2012/\">blogged on this\u003c/a> back in August.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who are the defenders of the status quo? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the most basic sense, the status quo consists of California's most powerful interest groups -- organized labor, big business, environmentalists, anti-tax advocates, and so on. That's not to say all of these groups like everything about California's system, but they have the most to lose if the rules change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the chances any significiant changes to the system will be made in the near future? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all depends on public sentiment. Government reform in Califorina largely has to happen through the ballot box, which means a campaign in which voters have to perceive something is a problem that needs fixing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other hurdle is that \"reformers\" (and there are several prominent reform groups out there) have to agree on exactly how to change the system. The lack of consensus among reform advocates -- plus the big bucks needed to run an effective campaign in California -- are the real hurdles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Related:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/programs/patt-morrison/2011/10/11/20993/initiative-anniversary\">100 years of the ballot initiative\u003c/a> - KPCC's Patt Morrisson discusses the initiative with Joe Mathews, critic of the current system and co-author of \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.californiacrackup.com/\">California Crackup\u003c/a>\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/10/07/BA2E1LE0RC.DTL\">Daylong celebration of century of referenda\u003c/a> (Oct 8, SF Chronicle)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opinionla/la-ed-initiative-20111010,0,4577283.story\">A California tuneup\u003c/a> (LA Times editorial)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

Hiram Johnson and his Progressive-era backers could have imagined in 1911.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the inflexibility: Once an initiative qualifies for the ballot, there's almost no going back. It can only be removed by the courts (in rare circumstances), and if voters approve it, it can usually only be stricken from the books or amended by -- you guessed it -- another initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means that the drafters of these initiatives, be they average citizens (whose ideas rarely make it to the ballot these days) or powerful interest groups, have little incentive to work with the Legislature to enact their plans, and almost no outside system to check whether the measure will have unintended consequences. If backers have the momentum and money, they can get pretty much get anything on the statewide ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The referendum and recall are rarely used. Some observers have suggested that the referendum -- a method by which voters overturn decisions made at the state Capitol -- is actually the better tool than the initiative, and that it's a sensible check on the powers of elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the leading reform suggestions being kicked around? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the initiative process, the proposals include a new system to allow legislators the chance to write the proposal into law themselves and thus avoid an expensive campaign; changes to make it easier for grassroots groups to qualify an initiative rather than only well-funded efforts that pay several dollars per voter signature gathered; and requirements that any initiative proposing to spend tax dollars or cut taxes include a specific way to pay for that change in government funding (thus avoiding initiatives that only exacerbate the state's fiscal woes).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the initiative process is enshrined in the California Constitution, and the only way to amend that document is by a vote of the people (either through a legislative ballot measure or an initiative ballot measure). Getting it on the ballot would be hard enough; winning a campaign that may be opposed by powerful defenders of the status quo is another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others have suggested making it easier to qualify a referendum -- thus, possibly channeling some of the energy away from initiatives. (I \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2011/08/18/refer-madness-2012/\">blogged on this\u003c/a> back in August.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who are the defenders of the status quo? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the most basic sense, the status quo consists of California's most powerful interest groups -- organized labor, big business, environmentalists, anti-tax advocates, and so on. That's not to say all of these groups like everything about California's system, but they have the most to lose if the rules change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the chances any significiant changes to the system will be made in the near future? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all depends on public sentiment. Government reform in Califorina largely has to happen through the ballot box, which means a campaign in which voters have to perceive something is a problem that needs fixing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other hurdle is that \"reformers\" (and there are several prominent reform groups out there) have to agree on exactly how to change the system. The lack of consensus among reform advocates -- plus the big bucks needed to run an effective campaign in California -- are the real hurdles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Related:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/programs/patt-morrison/2011/10/11/20993/initiative-anniversary\">100 years of the ballot initiative\u003c/a> - KPCC's Patt Morrisson discusses the initiative with Joe Mathews, critic of the current system and co-author of \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.californiacrackup.com/\">California Crackup\u003c/a>\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/10/07/BA2E1LE0RC.DTL\">Daylong celebration of century of referenda\u003c/a> (Oct 8, SF Chronicle)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opinionla/la-ed-initiative-20111010,0,4577283.story\">A California tuneup\u003c/a> (LA Times editorial)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
