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.",

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.",

That’s especially true in the Bay Area, where a school district in Mountain View recently announced a creative plan to help keep teachers around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The estimated $56 million plan, approved in late March by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.mvwsd.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Whisman school district\u003c/a> board, involves buying\u003ca href=\"https://www.mvwsd.org/about/communications/news___events/m_v_w_s_d_forges_partnership_for_staff_housing\"> a 144-unit apartment building\u003c/a> to be built in the South Bay city for teachers and education staff. The decision comes after the school district reinstated health benefits and raised teacher salaries by as much as 28% over the past five years, but couldn’t stop teachers from leaving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had probably four or five resignations this year because they can’t afford to buy a home,” said school district Superintendent Ayindé Rudolph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The raises also meant some teachers living in low-income housing no longer qualified as low-income and had to move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Teachers and other education professionals typically make too much money to qualify for traditional affordable housing,” said Mitch Mankin of \u003ca href=\"https://siliconvalleyathome.org/\">Silicon Valley at Home\u003c/a>, an affordable housing advocacy group. “But they also make too little to afford market rate housing prices in our crazy Bay Area housing market.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan is unique in that rather than building teacher housing on school property or housing them in school-owned accommodations, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/04/us/teachers-priced-out-tech-hubs.html\">like in Santa Clara County\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>,\u003c/strong> the district is buying a building from developer \u003ca href=\"https://fortbay.com/about/\">Fortbay\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan is to offer studios and one- to two-bedroom apartments. While the price of each unit will change based on income, it will all be subsidized by the district. Teachers who make $64,000 — the starting salary for teachers in Mountain View — can expect to pay about $1,500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Whisman teachers make ends meet by living together or commuting from hours away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zoe Sharp and Natalie LaRosa, elementary school teachers in the area, live with three other women who work in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels sort of what college was like,” Sharp said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='housing-crisis' label='The Bay Area Housing Crisis']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Margaret Abe-Koga, Mountain View’s vice mayor, said she believes tech companies also have a responsibility to step in to pay for teacher housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m really looking for the tech community to participate because they know we have a housing shortage and a lot of that is caused by their employees,” she said. “I’m hoping that they will contribute and participate because it’s the right thing to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook has already stepped up — in a way. The tech giant subsidizes about 22 homes near its Menlo Park headquarters for teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we all have an obligation to be part of the solution,” said school district Superintendent Rudolph. “We have a moral obligation to make sure that the people in our country who sacrifice making the top dollar to serve our kids, to serve our public, that we should do everything within our power to make sure that they can have a decent wage to live.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The subsidized housing will be built as part of a larger project at an existing apartment complex. The plan is expected to pass a Mountain View City Council vote scheduled for May.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The decision comes after the school district reinstated health benefits and raised teacher salaries by as much as 28% over the past five years, but couldn’t stop teachers from leaving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had probably four or five resignations this year because they can’t afford to buy a home,” said school district Superintendent Ayindé Rudolph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The raises also meant some teachers living in low-income housing no longer qualified as low-income and had to move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Teachers and other education professionals typically make too much money to qualify for traditional affordable housing,” said Mitch Mankin of \u003ca href=\"https://siliconvalleyathome.org/\">Silicon Valley at Home\u003c/a>, an affordable housing advocacy group. “But they also make too little to afford market rate housing prices in our crazy Bay Area housing market.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom’s policy agenda, according to a poll released Wednesday by the Public Policy Institute of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Majorities of likely voters voiced approval for the governor’s proposed investments in housing subsidies, tax credits and wildfire prevention, all outlined in his January budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most surprising, nearly 60 percent of likely voters supported life imprisonment over the death penalty, in a poll taken after Newsom declared a moratorium on executions in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gov. Newsom’s agenda is receiving very positive reviews from Californians at this point in time,” said Mark Baldassare, PPIC president and CEO. “We found very positive responses to his plans to spend funds for things that Californians view as significant problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PPIC surveyed 1,706 California residents from March 10-19.

Three-quarters of respondents said wildfires were at least “somewhat of a problem,” and 81 percent support Newsom’s plan to spend $415 million on preparing and responding to wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money would go toward reducing fuel in California’s forests through tree thinning, and pay for more Cal Fire aircrafts and fire engines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were really struck with how many people in all the regions of the state view the potential threat of wildfires as a problem, something they’re concerned about,” Baldassare said. “Of all the budget proposals we have tested, the highest support that we’ve seen has been for Gov. Newsom’s proposals to allocate money for wildfire preparedness, response and recovery.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='gavin-newsom' label='Coverage of the Newsom administration']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11732605/gov-newsom-halts-executions-opponents-call-move-an-abuse-of-power\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced a moratorium\u003c/a> on executions in the state, taking on an issue that has long divided Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PPIC poll out Wednesday finds support for the death penalty at a historic low. Just 38 percent of likely voters favored execution over life imprisonment with no possibility of parole, as a penalty for first-degree murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s become a much more polarized issue over time.

"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",

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>",

And 44 percent say they’re considering leaving the area in the next few years. Some 6 percent say they’ve had it and plan to depart the region this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheer expense of getting by in the Bay Area topped the list of reasons residents see life here getting tougher, with 83 percent citing the cost of housing as an “extremely serious” or “very serious” problem, and 81 percent pointing to the cost of living as a major problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also high on the list of grievances were two longstanding issues: homelessness, which 79 percent named as extremely or very serious; and traffic congestion, cited by 76 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll, produced by the \u003ca href=\"https://svlg.org/bay-area-voters-ready-to-pull-out-pocketbooks-to-solve-traffic-problems-but-not-as-likely-when-it-comes-to-the-housing-crisis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silicon Valley Leadership Group\u003c/a> and Bay Area News Group, surveyed more than 1,500 people in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We should all be concerned because that means we’re going to have a brain drain of talent and families that contribute to our communities that have simply given up and are going away,” said Carl Guardino, president and CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if you can afford a home, it’s so often not anywhere near your job or your school or where you’re trying to get. People are so sick of it that they’re willing to make a U-turn right out of the area,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Discontent crossed all political, racial, ethnic, geographic and socioeconomic divides, according to the survey. But African-Americans (71 percent), renters (58 percent) and people younger than 40 (55 percent) were the most likely to say they were looking to move out of the Bay Area in coming years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Willingness to Pay for Transportation Solutions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second survey tested sentiments about two other issues: voters’ willingness to tax themselves further to pay for major transportation infrastructure projects and whether they’d be willing to get behind a complex package to address the region’s housing affordability crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About two-thirds of the 1,900 respondents — this time from all nine Bay Area counties — said they’d support some major funding initiative to pay for a “world-class” transit system, modernizing highways and investing in bike and pedestrian pathways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey found that 71 percent of respondents asked about a 1-cent regional sales tax for transportation said they’d support the levy; 64 percent backed the idea of a $50 billion bond measure to be paid for by a new tax on businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of a new regional transportation levy — which backers have been quietly promoting for the past 15 months or so as a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11637275/you-say-you-want-a-new-bridge-or-2nd-bart-tube-heres-how-you-might-pay-for-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mega-measure\u003c/a>” for a future ballot — won large margins of support from all age groups, from both renters and homeowners, and Democratic and independent voters. Among Republican respondents, 52 percent opposed a levy and 38 percent were in favor of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were some regional variations in the response, too, with the most populous Bay Area counties all giving an enthusiastic thumbs up to a transportation tax. The survey found 79 percent of San Francisco voters supported the idea, with 76 percent support in Alameda County, 68 percent in San Mateo and 66 percent in Santa Clara. Just 46 percent of respondents in Napa County and 49 percent in Solano County supported a new tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Silicon Valley Leadership Group’s Guardino said his organization — along with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bayareacouncil.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bay Area Council\u003c/a>, which represents more than 300 businesses, public agencies and media companies, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SPUR\u003c/a>, a regional urban planning group — is responding to Los Angeles County’s success in passing a 1-cent sales tax measure to fund major transportation initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had L.A. envy in that Los Angeles in 2016 passed a permanent 1-cent sales tax that will generate around $120 billion for transit in its first couple decades,” he said. “So we continue to see if that’s possible. … It’s pretty darn clear that the climate seems right, so it’s time to get to work and find out specifically what voters are willing to invest in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Limited Support for Regional Housing Plan\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While voters acknowledged the region’s crippling housing costs in the first of the new surveys, the second poll found a lukewarm response to an ambitious regional housing plan known as the \u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/our-work/plans-projects/casa-committee-house-bay-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CASA Compact\u003c/a>. It includes an array of housing proposals, like a cap on rent increases and mandates for more dense housing around transit, and it would require approval from the state Legislature, not voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the poll asked voters if they would support the “proposed wide-ranging plan to include revised development rules to make it easier to build housing, a region-wide rent cap and tighter limits on evictions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just 43 percent of respondents supported the plan, with 42 percent opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What our pollster was trying to do was to best describe the CASA compact to find out how taxpayers feel,” Guardino said. “Over the months ahead, voters will inform us, rather than the other way around, on what they’re willing to tax themselves on. They’ll tell us if it’s a regional transportation measure or steps to address our housing crisis, or neither, or both.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Specific parts of the CASA plan would need voter approval — namely, any tax that would fund a proposed regional housing agency. That agency would use the money to provide emergency rent assistance to tenants, help cities plan for development and purchase land for affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Covarrubias, CEO of the real estate developer TMG Partners and a co-chair of the CASA coalition, said it would have made more sense to only poll voters on the housing ideas that could end up on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would argue the poll didn’t ask the right question or was somewhat misleading,” he said. “It’s not that the Bay Area doesn’t support housing; in fact it does. It also supports transportation. Pitting them against each other, I think, is the wrong way to look at the regional challenges we have.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Among Republican respondents, 52 percent opposed a levy and 38 percent were in favor of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were some regional variations in the response, too, with the most populous Bay Area counties all giving an enthusiastic thumbs up to a transportation tax. The survey found 79 percent of San Francisco voters supported the idea, with 76 percent support in Alameda County, 68 percent in San Mateo and 66 percent in Santa Clara. Just 46 percent of respondents in Napa County and 49 percent in Solano County supported a new tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Silicon Valley Leadership Group’s Guardino said his organization — along with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bayareacouncil.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bay Area Council\u003c/a>, which represents more than 300 businesses, public agencies and media companies, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SPUR\u003c/a>, a regional urban planning group — is responding to Los Angeles County’s success in passing a 1-cent sales tax measure to fund major transportation initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had L.A. envy in that Los Angeles in 2016 passed a permanent 1-cent sales tax that will generate around $120 billion for transit in its first couple decades,” he said. “So we continue to see if that’s possible. … It’s pretty darn clear that the climate seems right, so it’s time to get to work and find out specifically what voters are willing to invest in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Limited Support for Regional Housing Plan\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While voters acknowledged the region’s crippling housing costs in the first of the new surveys, the second poll found a lukewarm response to an ambitious regional housing plan known as the \u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/our-work/plans-projects/casa-committee-house-bay-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CASA Compact\u003c/a>. It includes an array of housing proposals, like a cap on rent increases and mandates for more dense housing around transit, and it would require approval from the state Legislature, not voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the poll asked voters if they would support the “proposed wide-ranging plan to include revised development rules to make it easier to build housing, a region-wide rent cap and tighter limits on evictions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just 43 percent of respondents supported the plan, with 42 percent opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What our pollster was trying to do was to best describe the CASA compact to find out how taxpayers feel,” Guardino said. “Over the months ahead, voters will inform us, rather than the other way around, on what they’re willing to tax themselves on. They’ll tell us if it’s a regional transportation measure or steps to address our housing crisis, or neither, or both.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Specific parts of the CASA plan would need voter approval — namely, any tax that would fund a proposed regional housing agency. That agency would use the money to provide emergency rent assistance to tenants, help cities plan for development and purchase land for affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Covarrubias, CEO of the real estate developer TMG Partners and a co-chair of the CASA coalition, said it would have made more sense to only poll voters on the housing ideas that could end up on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As a city of \u003ca href=\"https://www.scag.ca.gov/Documents/SantaMonica.pdf\">70 percent renters\u003c/a>, it needed to protect local housing stock while also allowing residents to take advantage of new economic opportunities through home-sharing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constance Farrell, public information officer for Santa Monica, said, “We wanted to strike a balance, not turning neighborhoods into de facto hotels.

In 2016, Airbnb and HomeAway \u003ca href=\"https://www.santamonica.gov/press/2018/03/13/city-of-santa-monica-prevails-against-airbnb-and-homeaway\">filed a lawsuit \u003c/a>against the city to stop the home-sharing ordinance from taking effect, but in 2018 the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California ruled in favor of Santa Monica on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>S.F.: Friendlier Than Most to Short-Term Rentals\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>San Francisco, for its part, didn’t start regulating short-term rentals until 2015. Up until then, short-term rentals were technically illegal, but the city didn’t enforce this until around 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the macro level, it’s about housing supply and housing affordability, and then on the neighborhood level, it’s about making sure there’s regulations to help ensure quality of life for residents,” said Kevin Guy, director of the \u003ca href=\"https://shorttermrentals.sfgov.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Office of Short-Term Rentals.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"California's Affordable Housing Crisis\" tag=\"affordable-housing\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, in response to complaints from residents, legislation was passed to force hosts to register with the city.

Compared to South Lake Tahoe and Santa Monica, however, San Francisco is still much friendlier toward short-term rentals, with longer limits on the number of nights hosts can rent out their rooms when they’re not present, and no restrictions on renting out rooms when they are.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Palm Springs: Tourists Welcome, Within Limits\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Palm Springs, which has a long history of tourism, placed minor restrictions on short-term rentals in April 2017.

That’s not as true in South Lake Tahoe, where a recent ballot measure to more or less ban short-term rentals could have far-reaching consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2017, the city cracked down on short-term rentals, putting a cap on the number of permits that would be handed out, increasing fines and registration fees, and adding three enforcement officers to help keep the rental market in check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before these changes could take effect, however, a group of residents put \u003ca href=\"https://www.rgj.com/story/money/business/2019/01/14/south-lake-tahoe-airbnb-ban-measure-t-lawsuit/2549226002/\">Measure T on the ballot\u003c/a>, to make all short-term rentals in residential areas illegal (though full-time residents can still rent out their homes for a maximum of 30 days a year).

If Measure T is implemented, those officers may lose their jobs, the city staff member said.

Even cities like Palo Alto, where short-term rentals are technically illegal, seem hesitant to enforce the regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because many short-term rentals — both illegal and not — pay a transient occupancy tax. As that revenue becomes an established part of the city’s income, and as residents depend more and more on the money from renting out their rooms, more cities will likely be forced to strike a balance between letting short-term rentals operate, and regulating them in a sustainable way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

She is now is the CEO of Hamilton Families, which houses the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to have a much more integrated community where residents thrive in their neighborhoods, where they have access to opportunity, where there’s jobs and resources and public parks,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, the federal government has made budget cuts to HUD and public housing programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Local jurisdictions have been responsible for taking up the slack of growing income and wealth inequalities in their communities and figuring out how to provide more housing for the people who live in these communities,” says Moss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, officials found that San Francisco’s Housing Authority needed to spend at least $267 million to repair and renovate its housing stock. However, HUD was allocating only $16 million to the city for those repairs and renovations. To address the problem, the city turned to public-private partnerships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s public housing was brought under two big programs, HOPE SF and Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD). HOPE SF replaces distressed public housing with mixed-income communities, and RAD renovated old public housing projects and handed them over to nonprofit management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The public-private partnerships have become more of a tool for how [mayors and civic leaders] address the housing crisis,” says Moss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Singh says that partnerships between cities and nonprofits could be considered PHIMBY, she’d rather see community-oriented and municipally-run public housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The PHIMBY Dream\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Vienna could be seen as a paragon of PHIMBYism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Austrian city allows people making almost twice the average annual income to live in social housing. The housing is desirable and is sought after by sports stars, high-ranking politicians and low-income earners. That said, in 2015 alone, the city spent\u003ca href=\"https://www.pri.org/stories/2015-10-26/why-rich-people-austria-want-live-housing-projects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 600 million euros\u003c/a> on social housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Vienna has mixed-income social housing to the point where rich and poor are living under the same roof,” says Singh. “While that might sound like a fantasy, when you create universal social programs that people are universally invested in, like Social Security and Medicare, those tend to be strong programs that are hard to cut and hard to marginalize low-income people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More locally, Singh would love to see a PHIMBY project at the 16th Street Mission BART Station. However, it’s currently the site of a contentious housing project by Maximus Real Estate Partners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The development has been in the planning phase for about six years due to fierce opposition from the community coalition Plaza 16, which has dubbed the Maximus project “\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Developer-of-long-delayed-Monster-in-the-13568130.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Monster in the Mission\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11731582\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11731582 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"A rally before the San Francisco Planning Commission hearing to discuss the 1979 Mission Street development that's been dubbed by activists "The Monster in the Mission"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rally before the San Francisco Planning Commission hearing to discuss the 1979 Mission Street development that’s been dubbed by activists “The Monster in the Mission.” \u003ccite>(Jessica Placzek/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Plaza 16 demands that the site be turned into 100 percent affordable housing under a plan they call “The Marvel in the Mission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a San Francisco Planning Commission hearing on Feb. 7, Maximus unveiled new plans to build about 330 units of mostly market-rate housing above the BART station. To fulfill affordable housing requirements, Plaza 16 suggested a land dedication where Maximus would purchase two other properties in the Mission that would be handed over to the city to turn into affordable housing developments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the hearing, a representative for Maximus called the Plaza 16 plans a fantasy, saying “the land is not for sale.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the plans for the Marvel in the Mission look like a PHIMBY dream, neighborhood organizers say their main goal is for this development to offer affordable housing for people making 30 percent of the area median income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a working-class person of color who’s grown up in San Francisco, our communities have been advocating for affordable housing for years,” says Chirag Bhakta, a Plaza 16 organizer. “We’re glad people are listening, but we also don’t want to be co-opted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singh agrees that this is just a new name for an old concept. However, PHIMBY could be a new way to see beyond the dialectic of NIMBY and YIMBY, and get people to consider alternative ways to solve the housing crisis beyond private development motivated by profit.\u003c/p>\n\n",

For most people, public housing conjures images from the ’80s and ’90s of neglected high-rise projects with broken elevators and flickering lights in neighborhoods that suffered from disinvestment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11731754\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11731754 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/GettyImages-971721976-1020x680.jpg\" alt=\"Public housing stands in Brooklyn on June 11, 2018 in New York City.

She is now is the CEO of Hamilton Families, which houses the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to have a much more integrated community where residents thrive in their neighborhoods, where they have access to opportunity, where there’s jobs and resources and public parks,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, the federal government has made budget cuts to HUD and public housing programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Local jurisdictions have been responsible for taking up the slack of growing income and wealth inequalities in their communities and figuring out how to provide more housing for the people who live in these communities,” says Moss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, officials found that San Francisco’s Housing Authority needed to spend at least $267 million to repair and renovate its housing stock. However, HUD was allocating only $16 million to the city for those repairs and renovations. To address the problem, the city turned to public-private partnerships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s public housing was brought under two big programs, HOPE SF and Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD). HOPE SF replaces distressed public housing with mixed-income communities, and RAD renovated old public housing projects and handed them over to nonprofit management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The public-private partnerships have become more of a tool for how [mayors and civic leaders] address the housing crisis,” says Moss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Singh says that partnerships between cities and nonprofits could be considered PHIMBY, she’d rather see community-oriented and municipally-run public housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The PHIMBY Dream\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Vienna could be seen as a paragon of PHIMBYism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Austrian city allows people making almost twice the average annual income to live in social housing. The housing is desirable and is sought after by sports stars, high-ranking politicians and low-income earners. That said, in 2015 alone, the city spent\u003ca href=\"https://www.pri.org/stories/2015-10-26/why-rich-people-austria-want-live-housing-projects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 600 million euros\u003c/a> on social housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Vienna has mixed-income social housing to the point where rich and poor are living under the same roof,” says Singh. “While that might sound like a fantasy, when you create universal social programs that people are universally invested in, like Social Security and Medicare, those tend to be strong programs that are hard to cut and hard to marginalize low-income people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More locally, Singh would love to see a PHIMBY project at the 16th Street Mission BART Station. However, it’s currently the site of a contentious housing project by Maximus Real Estate Partners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The development has been in the planning phase for about six years due to fierce opposition from the community coalition Plaza 16, which has dubbed the Maximus project “\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Developer-of-long-delayed-Monster-in-the-13568130.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Monster in the Mission\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11731582\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11731582 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"A rally before the San Francisco Planning Commission hearing to discuss the 1979 Mission Street development that's been dubbed by activists "The Monster in the Mission"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/IMG_4318-1-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rally before the San Francisco Planning Commission hearing to discuss the 1979 Mission Street development that’s been dubbed by activists “The Monster in the Mission.” \u003ccite>(Jessica Placzek/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Plaza 16 demands that the site be turned into 100 percent affordable housing under a plan they call “The Marvel in the Mission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a San Francisco Planning Commission hearing on Feb. 7, Maximus unveiled new plans to build about 330 units of mostly market-rate housing above the BART station. To fulfill affordable housing requirements, Plaza 16 suggested a land dedication where Maximus would purchase two other properties in the Mission that would be handed over to the city to turn into affordable housing developments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the hearing, a representative for Maximus called the Plaza 16 plans a fantasy, saying “the land is not for sale.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the plans for the Marvel in the Mission look like a PHIMBY dream, neighborhood organizers say their main goal is for this development to offer affordable housing for people making 30 percent of the area median income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a working-class person of color who’s grown up in San Francisco, our communities have been advocating for affordable housing for years,” says Chirag Bhakta, a Plaza 16 organizer. “We’re glad people are listening, but we also don’t want to be co-opted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
