"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.",

Incumbent Ed Lee is considered the favorite, and should he or fellow candidates David Chiu, Leland Yee, Jeff Adachi, or Phil Ting emerge victorious, San Francisco will have elected its first Asian-American mayor. (Lee was appointed by the Board of Supervisors, not elected by voters, when former mayor Gavin Newsom left to become Lt. Governor.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If this were like every other previous San Francisco mayoral race, Lee might be considered a shoo-in. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/sf-mayoral-race/story/bay-citizenusf-poll-lee-dominates/\">mid-October poll\u003c/a> put Lee as the first choice of 31 percent of voters, out of a 16-candidate field. His nearest competitor, Dennis Herrera, garnered only eight percent in the survey. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Don Perata learned during Oakland's mayoral contest last year, under ranked-choice voting, a lead in the first round of vote-counting does \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/data/rankedchoice/rcv-alternate-history/\">not seal the deal\u003c/a>, and can slowly dissipate over subsequent rounds. Perata commanded an 11 percent leader after the first round, but because significantly more voters chose Quan as their second or third choice, Quan emerged the victor, receiving 51% of the vote to Perata’s 49% after 10 rounds of counting.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003ca href=\"http://gispubweb.sfgov.org/website/pollingplace/\">\u003cstrong>Look up your polling place in San Francisco here\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Lee's opponents -- at least a few of whom are furious he assured them he wouldn't run for a permanent spot as mayor -- have been trying to pierce the sense of an inevitable Lee victory by filing complaints about \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/sf-mayoral-race/story/polls-mud-slinging-accusations/\">questionable efforts and fundraising\u003c/a> on his behalf. Several candidates even went so far as to band together in \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/sf-mayoral-race/story/lees-rivals-want-federal-election/\">requesting that the state or federal government monitor the election\u003c/a> for potential shenanigans.

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.

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 think in spite of the fact that potentially there will be some major changes, a lot of people aren't paying a lot of attention to the plan, or if they are it's not coming through in terms of the voicing of opinions. That in part is due to the scope and scale of the Ocean Beach Master Plan. It's so large, it encompasses the beach from north to south and it plans for several decades, so it's hard for people to get their minds around .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I have heard from some readers who are concerned about the Great Highway in particular. 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.

They kind of shake their head and wonder why the road is there in the first place…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SPUR's plan kind of acknowledges that and moves the traffic from the Great Highway southbound lanes and puts two lanes, bidirectional traffic, on the east side of those, where we have northbound lanes now. it acknowledges we have a lot of blowing sand, and that we need to blunt the impact of major storm events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So what is SPUR's function? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SPUR is a convener and a coordinator for the master plan.
