"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.",

"bio": "Sara Hossaini came to general assignment reporting at KQED in 2013 after two winters reporting at Wyoming Public Radio. She holds a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her radio romance began after a bitter breakup with documentary film (Ok, maybe it's still complicated). Her first simultaneous jobs in San Francisco were as Associate Producer on a PBS film series through the Center for Asian American Media and as a butler. She likes to trot, plot and make things with her hands.",

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>Members of the Trump administration visited Los Angeles Tuesday to get a firsthand look at the city’s sprawling homeless encampments and efforts to control them, while President Trump directed his staff to develop policy options to address the national crisis of people living on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The visit by a delegation from several federal agencies came about two months after the Republican president called the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other big cities disgraceful and faulted the “liberal establishment” for the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to reporting by \u003ca href=\"https://beta.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/09/10/trump-pushing-major-crackdown-homeless-camps-california-with-aides-discussing-moving-residents-government-backed-facilities/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post\u003c/a>, administration officials have floated the idea of taking homeless people off the streets of Los Angeles and other cities, razing their encampments and placing them in new federally operated facilities. But it remains unclear how they would accomplish that and what legal authority they would have to do so, particularly in light of likely opposition from local and state leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effort, the Post notes, is part of Trump’s broader push in recent months to highlight major problems in California and a number of other liberal states and major cities, blaming years of failed Democratic leadership that have resulted in entrenched poverty and crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, Democratic Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a public invitation for the Republican president to walk the streets with him and see the suffering and squalid conditions. The mayor released a letter to Trump on Tuesday saying he looked forward to working together, but tensions between the White House and officials in heavily Democratic California were also on vivid display.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Homelessness coverage\" tag=\"homelessness\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials are eager for new federal dollars to help them build housing and provide services for the homeless, but deep political divisions make it unclear if an agreement will be reached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom has sparred with the White House routinely, and his office released a statement Tuesday saying the state was ready to discuss serious proposals but suggested that Trump “start by ending his plans to cut food stamps, gut health care for low-income people and scare immigrant families from accessing government services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a statement that the city would welcome assistance from the federal government to build more housing, “but simply cracking down on homelessness without providing the housing that people need is not a real solution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcetti, too, said he was ready to talk, but wrote that “the federal government has woefully underfunded our housing safety net, contributing to homelessness,” and slashed funding for new housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We must put politics aside,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles is also considering a controversial plan that would bar homeless people from sleeping in many places in the city, including near parks, schools and child care centers. These restrictions would cover about 25% of the sprawling city’s total area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’ll criminalize me again. And just generally, I don’t think it’s necessary,” said Robert Dragusica, part of a group of homeless people who live in LA’s Echo Park. “It would mean that I couldn’t do some of the things I’m doing right now to get off the street. … When you take away stability, you take away opportunity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at an event Monday in Beverly Hills, sponsored by the website Politico, Garcetti’s chief of state and federal affairs, Breelyn Pete, said the city looked forward to explaining its homeless strategy to administration officials, but added, “They’re just not thoughtful, and quite frankly not smart enough, to know what we’re doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump would make an unlikely pairing with the Los Angeles mayor, who comes from a heavily Democratic state recognized as the center of the so-called Trump resistance. Trump lost California to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election by over 4 million votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House spokesman Judd Deere echoed Trump’s earlier remarks linking homelessness with liberal policies, saying “the president has taken notice of the homelessness crisis, particularly in cities and states where the liberal policies of overregulation, excessive taxation, and poor public service delivery are combining to dramatically increase poverty and public health risks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many big cities, Los Angeles has struggled with homelessness for decades, and the population on the streets has grown despite a robust economy and increased local funding for services. Unsanitary, drug-infested encampments line downtown streets, and homeless people often sprawl on the lawn of City Hall, with tents nearby. The mayor says 36,000 people in the city are homeless on any given night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Figures released in June showed a 16% jump in Los Angeles’ homeless population over the last year. The jump came after the mayor helped convince voters in 2016 to borrow $1.2 billion to construct housing for the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor’s office said the federal group visited several homelessness and housing projects, including a recently opened shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration provided no specifics on what its national homeless policy would entail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor Griffin, a spokeswoman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said, “Homelessness is a challenge to the conscience of our nation and a growing humanitarian crisis for communities across our country. The Trump Administration’s heartless policies have only exacerbated the matter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

But it remains unclear how they would accomplish that and what legal authority they would have to do so, particularly in light of likely opposition from local and state leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effort, the Post notes, is part of Trump’s broader push in recent months to highlight major problems in California and a number of other liberal states and major cities, blaming years of failed Democratic leadership that have resulted in entrenched poverty and crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, Democratic Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a public invitation for the Republican president to walk the streets with him and see the suffering and squalid conditions. The mayor released a letter to Trump on Tuesday saying he looked forward to working together, but tensions between the White House and officials in heavily Democratic California were also on vivid display.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom has sparred with the White House routinely, and his office released a statement Tuesday saying the state was ready to discuss serious proposals but suggested that Trump “start by ending his plans to cut food stamps, gut health care for low-income people and scare immigrant families from accessing government services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a statement that the city would welcome assistance from the federal government to build more housing, “but simply cracking down on homelessness without providing the housing that people need is not a real solution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcetti, too, said he was ready to talk, but wrote that “the federal government has woefully underfunded our housing safety net, contributing to homelessness,” and slashed funding for new housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We must put politics aside,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles is also considering a controversial plan that would bar homeless people from sleeping in many places in the city, including near parks, schools and child care centers. These restrictions would cover about 25% of the sprawling city’s total area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’ll criminalize me again. And just generally, I don’t think it’s necessary,” said Robert Dragusica, part of a group of homeless people who live in LA’s Echo Park. “It would mean that I couldn’t do some of the things I’m doing right now to get off the street. … When you take away stability, you take away opportunity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at an event Monday in Beverly Hills, sponsored by the website Politico, Garcetti’s chief of state and federal affairs, Breelyn Pete, said the city looked forward to explaining its homeless strategy to administration officials, but added, “They’re just not thoughtful, and quite frankly not smart enough, to know what we’re doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump would make an unlikely pairing with the Los Angeles mayor, who comes from a heavily Democratic state recognized as the center of the so-called Trump resistance. Trump lost California to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election by over 4 million votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House spokesman Judd Deere echoed Trump’s earlier remarks linking homelessness with liberal policies, saying “the president has taken notice of the homelessness crisis, particularly in cities and states where the liberal policies of overregulation, excessive taxation, and poor public service delivery are combining to dramatically increase poverty and public health risks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many big cities, Los Angeles has struggled with homelessness for decades, and the population on the streets has grown despite a robust economy and increased local funding for services. Unsanitary, drug-infested encampments line downtown streets, and homeless people often sprawl on the lawn of City Hall, with tents nearby. The mayor says 36,000 people in the city are homeless on any given night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Dubbed “Mental Health SF,” the program, if approved by voters, would provide free and immediate access to mental health care to San Francisco residents, regardless of insurance.

"content": "\u003cp>Along a big, commercial street in Los Angeles' North Hollywood area, near a row of empty storefronts, about half a dozen motor homes sat parked on a recent morning. Inside one of them, 67-year-old Edith Grays and her husband watched TV with the door open. Grays said they'd been there a few days, despite a two-hour parking limit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Thank God they're not bothering us right now,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not unusual to see clusters of campers around the city. Grays is one of the nearly 10,000 people who live in vehicles inside L.A.'s city limits. Some take shelter in cars, others in vans or trucks, but RVs are the most visible. They're also the most difficult to park — especially now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles City Council recently reinstated an ordinance that bans sleeping overnight in vehicles in residential areas. The law also forbids living in a vehicle within a block of a park, school or day care. Tickets for violating the rules start at $25 for a first offense, $50 the second time and $75 after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Neighborhoods divided\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents who support the restrictions say vehicle encampments have caused parking shortages and sanitation issues. Critics say that without alternatives to parking on the street, the rules are inhumane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a stupid law,\" Mel Tillekeratne, executive director of a homelessness nonprofit called The Shower of Hope, said during a recent public meeting. \"This law ... is going to directly contribute to these people being on the street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Edith Grays, who ran a window-washing business with her husband until he had a series of strokes and couldn't work, losing their motor home is a big fear. She said they moved into it after not being able to afford rent anymore, and she takes care to avoid being ticketed or towed. When asked how much of her time is spent looking for parking or planning where to park next, Grays replied: \"All of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"homeless-project\" label=\"Coverage of Homelessness in the Bay Area\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's very difficult,\" she said. \"It causes a lot of stress in my life.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a couple of miles away, however, homeowner Walter Hall says RV encampments have choked major streets and that public urination by people living in vehicles has been a problem for at least one local park. \"That's the kind of thing we would prefer not to see,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hall supports the city having rules around vehicle dwelling but said enforcement should be tougher. A \u003ca href=\"http://clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2014/14-1057-S2_misc_09-06-2018.pdf\">2018 report\u003c/a> from the Los Angeles Police Department said that officers issued about 10 citations a month, partly because it's difficult to confirm when people are living in vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One result, Hall said, is that the restrictions mostly just shuffle people from one location to another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They disappear one place only to reappear someplace else,\" he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A national problem\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles isn't the only city struggling to balance the rights of those with and those without homes. Over the past decade, municipalities around the country with large homeless populations have passed laws banning activities such as panhandling or sleeping in public areas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ordinances limiting where people can live in vehicles are now the fastest-growing type of such restrictions, according to the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades it was completely illegal to live in a vehicle in L.A. But in 2014, as homelessness swelled, that policy was struck down in federal court. The city then came up with the current ordinance, but it expired in July, so the City Council had to vote on renewing it for another six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11764545\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason it had lapsed is that it was intended to be a stop-gap while the city expanded its safe parking program, which provides after-hours lots specifically designated for overnight vehicle camping. The program also provides security and bathroom access. But that plan has lagged, partly due to budget issues, and L.A. has only about 100 safe parking spaces for more than 5,000 vehicles in which people live. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day of the City Council vote on extending the parking restrictions, dozens of opponents showed up at City Hall to argue that the policy is cruel without safe parking options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Several of the families at my children's elementary school are struggling with homelessness,\" said Erika Feresten. \"It's unconscionable that they would be criminalized.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After hearing nearly an hour of solid opposition, the City Council voted 13 to 0 to reinstate the rules, prompting the crowd to start chanting, \"Shame on you!\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti says he expects to add another 200 safe parking spaces in the next few months. In the meantime, he said, the city has homeless outreach teams dedicated to finding people in vehicles and connecting them with social services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to make it easier\" for people living in vehicles, Garcetti said, \"but we also have to have that balance ... making sure that it's not going to be chaos out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The parking restrictions will go to the City Council again early next year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 KCRW.

Inside one of them, 67-year-old Edith Grays and her husband watched TV with the door open. Grays said they'd been there a few days, despite a two-hour parking limit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Thank God they're not bothering us right now,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not unusual to see clusters of campers around the city. Grays is one of the nearly 10,000 people who live in vehicles inside L.A.'s city limits. Some take shelter in cars, others in vans or trucks, but RVs are the most visible. They're also the most difficult to park — especially now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles City Council recently reinstated an ordinance that bans sleeping overnight in vehicles in residential areas. The law also forbids living in a vehicle within a block of a park, school or day care. Tickets for violating the rules start at $25 for a first offense, $50 the second time and $75 after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Neighborhoods divided\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents who support the restrictions say vehicle encampments have caused parking shortages and sanitation issues. Critics say that without alternatives to parking on the street, the rules are inhumane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a stupid law,\" Mel Tillekeratne, executive director of a homelessness nonprofit called The Shower of Hope, said during a recent public meeting. \"This law ... is going to directly contribute to these people being on the street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Edith Grays, who ran a window-washing business with her husband until he had a series of strokes and couldn't work, losing their motor home is a big fear. She said they moved into it after not being able to afford rent anymore, and she takes care to avoid being ticketed or towed. When asked how much of her time is spent looking for parking or planning where to park next, Grays replied: \"All of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Over the past decade, municipalities around the country with large homeless populations have passed laws banning activities such as panhandling or sleeping in public areas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ordinances limiting where people can live in vehicles are now the fastest-growing type of such restrictions, according to the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades it was completely illegal to live in a vehicle in L.A. But in 2014, as homelessness swelled, that policy was struck down in federal court. The city then came up with the current ordinance, but it expired in July, so the City Council had to vote on renewing it for another six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There’s not enough housing or resources to help them all. Some have friends or family who have been searching for their loved ones to bring them home, but finding someone who is homeless is very challenging. They’re always on the move. They don’t often have access to a phone. And even after finding that person, they might not be ready to go home because there are many reasons, sometimes invisible, emotional ones, that keep people trapped in homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this podcast episode of \u003cem>The Bay\u003c/em>, we’ll hear from a woman who, through her long search for her mother, started a Facebook group to help others search for their relatives and friends that are missing and homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our homeless deserves a voice,” says Robin Burton who started the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/MissingHomelessOrg/\">Missing & Homeless Facebook group page\u003c/a>. “And the families that are related to the homeless \u003cstrong>—\u003c/strong> the mothers, and the brothers and sisters, and the cousins \u003cstrong>—\u003c/strong> they deserve a voice, too. Their loved one deserves to be looked for just like anyone’s loved one that is missing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group helped a Northern California family find their son who was homeless in San Francisco but not before learning that supporting him meant practicing unconditional love, patience, persistence and even letting him go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To hear more of this story, click on the “listen” button above in this post to hear the full episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
