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.",

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.",

She packed up what she wanted to take while the work crews watched, with loud, beeping bulldozers ready to sweep through when she was done. One member of the crew gave her an empty blue recycling bin to hold what she wanted to keep. She packed her essentials and rolled the bin down the street, leaving the destroyed tent and pile of clothing behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within 30 minutes, the spot where she’d lived for the last year had been cleared, covered by mulch, and landscaping boulders were being placed, intended to keep people like Jones from returning, as she had three times before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones, a lifelong Richmond resident who has been camping since her car was impounded in 2014, had been living at the site at 22nd Street and Carlson Boulevard for nearly a year.

Jones said it had worked well for her because it was next to resources at the Greater Richmond Interfaith Program, or GRIP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been here, close to the facilities, so I can maintain my health and self-worth,” said Jones, who went to GRIP daily for food and to use the bathroom, telephone and laundry facilities, and to collect mail.

The tents flanked a wide transportation corridor situated near BART and Amtrak lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Higares, director of Richmond’s Department of Infrastructure and Maintenance Operations, said the encampment had become a public health and safety risk and a drain on city resources.

They say they’re going to get us in, but that’s what they told us the last time ... and you see where I’m at,” Valdepena said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other residents agreed that help was limited. Deshawn Brown had been living at the site for 10 months, and said he’d been approached by CORE, Contra Costa County’s Coordinated Outreach, Referral and Engagement team, a few times before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the interactions were limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Would you like to go to a shelter?

She packed up what she wanted to take while the work crews watched, with loud, beeping bulldozers ready to sweep through when she was done. One member of the crew gave her an empty blue recycling bin to hold what she wanted to keep. She packed her essentials and rolled the bin down the street, leaving the destroyed tent and pile of clothing behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within 30 minutes, the spot where she’d lived for the last year had been cleared, covered by mulch, and landscaping boulders were being placed, intended to keep people like Jones from returning, as she had three times before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones, a lifelong Richmond resident who has been camping since her car was impounded in 2014, had been living at the site at 22nd Street and Carlson Boulevard for nearly a year. About 30 to 60 people had lived at the encampment.

Officials suggested initially scaling back the proposed facility to 130 beds, consistent with the size of other navigation centers, and then gradually ramping up to 200 beds over six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also proposed incorporating more community feedback into the facility’s design and ensuring committed police patrols in the area to allay concerns about it transforming the tourist-heavy neighborhood into a dirty, crime-ridden place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Loitering and encampments are the main problems around other navigation centers,”Jeff Kositsky, director of the San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, told meeting attendees. “It has been intermittent and has been addressed as quickly as possible. SFPD will provide an extra level of security not available at other centers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kositsky stressed that Dogpatch residents have been very happy with the navigation center in their neighborhood and have even asked the city to extend its lease for an additional three years. That detail, though, did little to assuage opponents, who quickly countered that the more industrial Dogpatch neighborhood was innately more conducive to hosting such a facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11740498\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11740498 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/navigation-center-20190415a-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/navigation-center-20190415a-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/navigation-center-20190415a-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/navigation-center-20190415a-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/navigation-center-20190415a-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/navigation-center-20190415a.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Local resident Bruce Goldetsky asks meeting attendees on April 15, 2019, to raise their hands if they are “still very concerned” about the proposed Embarcadero Navigation center in their neighborhood.

Officials suggested initially scaling back the proposed facility to 130 beds, consistent with the size of other navigation centers, and then gradually ramping up to 200 beds over six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also proposed incorporating more community feedback into the facility’s design and ensuring committed police patrols in the area to allay concerns about it transforming the tourist-heavy neighborhood into a dirty, crime-ridden place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Loitering and encampments are the main problems around other navigation centers,”Jeff Kositsky, director of the San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, told meeting attendees. “It has been intermittent and has been addressed as quickly as possible. SFPD will provide an extra level of security not available at other centers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kositsky stressed that Dogpatch residents have been very happy with the navigation center in their neighborhood and have even asked the city to extend its lease for an additional three years.

In the Bay Area, 67% of homeless are unsheltered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t be surprised that they move around to try to find the safest place that they can to rest,” he said. “We need as a region to have a tough conversation about what types of shelter accommodations that we need to build and in what numbers and where.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11739927\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of shelter points to a larger housing issue facing the Bay Area: a lack of affordable or government-subsidized homes. For those households earning less than 30% of the area median income (known as extremely low-income or ELI), the region’s expensive housing market severely “narrows the margin between housing insecurity and homelessness,” according to the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, some 306,000 households qualify as ELI, and two-thirds of them, about 196,000 spend more than 50% of their income on rent, often leaving less than $1,000 a month for other basic expenses. While Alameda County has the highest number of such rent-burdened households, Solano, Sonoma and San Mateo counties have the highest proportion of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We haven’t been able to build homes at the pace that we need to, which has driven more people on the street,” Covert said, calling it a “farm system to homelessness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11739924\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-population-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-population-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-population-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-population-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-population-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-population.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the region could sustain 2017’s rate of a 2,500 annual increase in permanent support housing units, at the current growth rate of homelessness, the Bay Area wouldn’t be able to provide beds for all homeless residents until 2037, the study said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the study’s recommendations include creating a new state tax credit program for building homes for extremely low-income households, dramatically expanding the supply of permanent supportive housing, emergency and longer-term shelters, and consolidating existing state programs into a new California Homeless Services Agency.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In the Bay Area, 67% of homeless are unsheltered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t be surprised that they move around to try to find the safest place that they can to rest,” he said. “We need as a region to have a tough conversation about what types of shelter accommodations that we need to build and in what numbers and where.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11739927\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-rates-housing.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of shelter points to a larger housing issue facing the Bay Area: a lack of affordable or government-subsidized homes.

The shelter, they argue, would compromise the health and safety of the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To me it’s kinda a fairness issue,” said Jan Duffy, who lives and works blocks from the proposed site. “I have the biggest homeless shelter in the city three blocks from me, as well as another navigation center.

"content": "\u003cp>A Berkeley City Council majority voted late Tuesday night, after more than three hours of emotional public comment, to outlaw overnight RV parking in Berkeley, but only after creating an RV permit system and committing to aid “priority populations” in their search for permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='affordable-housing' label='KQED coverage of affordable housing']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The permit would allow some vehicle dwellers to park in Berkeley for up to three months, with the possibility of an extension, and prioritize several groups, including families with young children, Berkeley workers, students who attend Berkeley schools, and people with a prior address in Berkeley over the last 10 years, said Councilwoman Sophie Hahn, who suggested that amendment to the Feb. 28 proposal to \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/2019/03/26/rv-dwellers-pressure-berkeley-city-council-to-reverse-parking-ban\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prohibit RV* parking\u003c/a> in Berkeley from 2-5 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The change won’t happen immediately, though. The council majority also voted to suspend any enforcement of the parking ban — except for health and safety violations — until the new permit system is in place. That could take up to six months, officials said. The vote came just before midnight Tuesday amid chants of “shame” and “race traitor” from some members of the public who stayed late to hear the outcome of the discussion after much of the room emptied out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley police say they have counted around 200 RVs throughout the city. West Berkeley, in particular, has seen a concentration of vehicle dwellers, the city has said, some of whom have been associated with an array of issues, from the improper disposal of hypodermic needles and human waste to crime and behavior problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Council members Kate Harrison, Cheryl Davila and Rigel Robinson voted against the ban, while the rest of the City Council — Mayor Jesse Arreguín, Sophie Hahn, Ben Bartlett, Rashi Kesarwani, Susan Wengraf and Lori Droste — voted for it. Tuesday’s vote was the second reading required of all city ordinances before they go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bulk of the raucous crowd that assembled for Tuesday’s meeting called the parking ban inhumane and insisted that RV dwellers contribute to the Berkeley community in many positive ways. Many shared their stories of how they ended up on the streets and said no one should consider themselves immune from that fate. They said their vehicles have kept them from pushing Berkeley’s homeless population even higher and asked the city to support them, not add to their struggles to survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Council member Rigel Robinson, who voted against the ban']‘I don’t believe Berkeley should be in the business of evicting people whose lives are here.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One young father told the council he moved his family from a house in Vallejo to an RV in Berkeley so his small children could get a Berkeley education. As he held her up to the microphone, his daughter (pictured at the top of this story) told the council she lives in an RV and wants to stay in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents and members of the business community who took an alternate position said that, while they didn’t want to criminalize anyone, the city must enforce its rules. They said Berkeley has become a magnet for vehicle dwellers from elsewhere because enforcement has been so lax. Some said the impact on the parking supply alone has posed significant challenges for longtime West Berkeley businesses and their customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, the council drew ire from some members of the crowd when the mayor tried to handle other business briefly before the council discussed and voted on the RV item, which was No. 21 on the agenda. Here is a video of that portion of the meeting:\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11735844\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 760px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11735844\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03272019_Berkeley-council-RVs1-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Berkeley Affirms Ban on Overnight RV Parking — Once Permit System Is in Place\" width=\"760\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03272019_Berkeley-council-RVs1-qut.jpg 760w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03272019_Berkeley-council-RVs1-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03272019_Berkeley-council-RVs1-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03272019_Berkeley-council-RVs1-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Just a few of the speakers who lined up for public comment Tuesday. Most asked the council to reject the overnight parking ban or delay the vote. \u003ccite>(Emilie Raguso/Berkeleyside)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After the lengthy public comment period, council remarks Tuesday were relatively brief, in large part due to the lateness of the hour and the council’s extended discussion in late February. Most “second reading” votes take place on the consent calendar without further discussion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her comments, Councilwoman Hahn called on “Apple, Google and the top 1,000 grossing companies in the Bay Area” to “step up” to help cities like Berkeley. She said the Bay Area’s overheated job market, created “with no regard for housing,” has been a huge factor in the worsening housing crisis, driving up rents and home values and pushing them increasingly out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a huge role in creating this crisis,” she said, in what she called a “public appeal” to those companies. “I know you didn’t mean to, but you did. You are profiting from the workers you brought here. Wildly. Apple’s 2018 revenues exceed the combined budgets of all city government entities in the entire Bay Area. By a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hahn then read her office phone number into the record and urged those companies to call her or any member of the City Council to “talk about how you can help us help our homeless and precariously housed. We need you to realize that you are not global. You are local, and you are responsible to our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Arreguín said the new law would involve intensive public outreach, along with work by the city to identify other places in the area for “safe haven parking” and the possibility of financial help for vehicle repairs. Wednesday night, he said, the Berkeley Unified School District is set to discuss the concept of letting BUSD families who live in RVs park on school property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/berkeleyside/status/1110785792681467906\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison urged her colleagues to put off Tuesday’s vote until next week, when the council is scheduled to discuss an item she wrote with Davila to propose the creation of a “vehicle dweller program” in Berkeley. But her motion was unsuccessful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davila said, in her remarks from the dais, that she was upset with how the night had gone and remains unconvinced local businesses have lost money as a result of Berkeley’s street life: “We need to stop all this BS and hating on each other,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davila and others said they want to look more deeply at the possibility of vehicle parking at the marina, and what state law may actually allow. City officials and staff have said previously that \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/2018/07/02/rv-campers-get-one-more-week-at-marina-after-contentious-council-meeting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state law prohibits an encampment there\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several council members agreed that perhaps the biggest source of tension between vehicle dwellers and those who want them to move has been the concentration of RVs in West Berkeley, where certain blocks have a high density of occupied vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Achieving more geographic dispersal alone would likely alleviate many of the criticisms people have raised, Councilman Robinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thanked his colleagues Arreguín, Hahn and Kesarwani for their updated proposal and its explicit commitment to outreach, help with repairs and “safe haven parking,” calling it “a far more empathetic solution” than the Feb. 28 proposal. But he said he still couldn’t vote for the new law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of the reasons I voted no on the first reading still stand,” he said. “I don’t believe Berkeley should be in the business of evicting people whose lives are here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>*According to the ordinance language, the new law would apply to “a single vehicle or combination of vehicles having more than two axles, a single vehicle or combination of vehicles 20 feet or more in length, or a single vehicle or combination of vehicles six feet six inches or more in width, and shall include, but shall not be limited to dump trucks, moving vans, tractors, pole or pipe dollies, recreational vehicles (RVs), campers.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The council majority also voted to suspend any enforcement of the parking ban — except for health and safety violations — until the new permit system is in place. That could take up to six months, officials said. The vote came just before midnight Tuesday amid chants of “shame” and “race traitor” from some members of the public who stayed late to hear the outcome of the discussion after much of the room emptied out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley police say they have counted around 200 RVs throughout the city. West Berkeley, in particular, has seen a concentration of vehicle dwellers, the city has said, some of whom have been associated with an array of issues, from the improper disposal of hypodermic needles and human waste to crime and behavior problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Many shared their stories of how they ended up on the streets and said no one should consider themselves immune from that fate. They said their vehicles have kept them from pushing Berkeley’s homeless population even higher and asked the city to support them, not add to their struggles to survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As he held her up to the microphone, his daughter (pictured at the top of this story) told the council she lives in an RV and wants to stay in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents and members of the business community who took an alternate position said that, while they didn’t want to criminalize anyone, the city must enforce its rules. They said Berkeley has become a magnet for vehicle dwellers from elsewhere because enforcement has been so lax. Some said the impact on the parking supply alone has posed significant challenges for longtime West Berkeley businesses and their customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, the council drew ire from some members of the crowd when the mayor tried to handle other business briefly before the council discussed and voted on the RV item, which was No. 21 on the agenda.

Most “second reading” votes take place on the consent calendar without further discussion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her comments, Councilwoman Hahn called on “Apple, Google and the top 1,000 grossing companies in the Bay Area” to “step up” to help cities like Berkeley. She said the Bay Area’s overheated job market, created “with no regard for housing,” has been a huge factor in the worsening housing crisis, driving up rents and home values and pushing them increasingly out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a huge role in creating this crisis,” she said, in what she called a “public appeal” to those companies. “I know you didn’t mean to, but you did. You are profiting from the workers you brought here. Wildly. Apple’s 2018 revenues exceed the combined budgets of all city government entities in the entire Bay Area. By a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hahn then read her office phone number into the record and urged those companies to call her or any member of the City Council to “talk about how you can help us help our homeless and precariously housed. We need you to realize that you are not global. You are local, and you are responsible to our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Arreguín said the new law would involve intensive public outreach, along with work by the city to identify other places in the area for “safe haven parking” and the possibility of financial help for vehicle repairs. Wednesday night, he said, the Berkeley Unified School District is set to discuss the concept of letting BUSD families who live in RVs park on school property.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But her motion was unsuccessful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davila said, in her remarks from the dais, that she was upset with how the night had gone and remains unconvinced local businesses have lost money as a result of Berkeley’s street life: “We need to stop all this BS and hating on each other,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davila and others said they want to look more deeply at the possibility of vehicle parking at the marina, and what state law may actually allow.
