"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco officials are considering a long list of steps to enhance fire safety in the city's apartment buildings after three major fires that killed one person and displaced about 100 tenants and dozens of small businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those measures could include making it easier for tenants to report safety concerns, launching more stringent fire-safety inspections and issuing safety checklists for landlords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renewed concern about fire safety in the city's apartment buildings was sparked by the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/01/28/one-reported-dead-in-four-alarm-mission-district-fire\" target=\"_blank\">biggest of last week's blazes\u003c/a>, which broke out in a three-story building at 22nd and Mission streets on Jan. 28. One person died and six others were hurt in the fire, and more than 50 tenants lost their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other fires -- one in the Tenderloin, one in the Western Addition -- also displaced dozens of tenants. Investigators say the three fires together caused more than $11.5 million in damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some residents of the Mission District building told investigators that alarms in the apartment malfunctioned and that the first they knew of the danger was when firefighters arrived to rescue them. Tenants also said that some fire escapes were blocked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire officials, building inspectors and the building's owner, though, all say the alarms and fire escapes in the structure were appropriately certified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, Supervisor David Campos said he's concerned -- tenants told him the devices did not work, and the building may have had other safety violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The facts of the fire at 22nd and Mission raise a number of questions,\" Campos said earlier this week. He wants the Board of Supervisors to consider changes to the city's fire safety ordinances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to make sure that the tragedy that happened at Mission Street, where we had one fatality, that something like that doesn't happen again,\" Campos said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, several Campos aides met with officials at the Department of Building Inspection (DBI) and the Fire Department. Several fire safety proposals emerged from that meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One measure under consideration would require landlords to post prominent signs informing tenants how to contact public agencies with their safety concerns or complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire and Department of Building Inspection officials support the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our departments certainly support the development and implementation of steps that may prevent the kinds of multiple-alarm and devastating fires our city witnessed last week,\" DBI director Tom Hui said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry group representing the city's apartment owners said it's not opposed to the idea but wants to have input into where those signs would be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are always in favor of disclosure,\" said Janan New, director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfaa.org\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Apartment Association\u003c/a>. \"We do not believe that the lobby area may be the appropriate venue for this disclosure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New said the signs could go up in other public spaces, like laundry rooms, hallways and garages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials are also considering having the Fire Department and DBI conduct more frequent inspections of apartment buildings that are at least four stories tall or have 16 or more units, San Francisco's fire marshal says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire marshal, Assistant Deputy Fire Chief Michie Wong, said a series of other steps are under consideration, too, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Creating a fire safety checklist for landlords.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Requiring fire investigations to include whether buildings had working sprinklers, alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Posting the Fire Department's investigative reports on major fires online after the inquiries have concluded.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Wong said in an email that the proposals represent \"a step forward in getting building owners to maintain their buildings and may help lessen fires.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the third time in a year that big fires in the city have prompted tougher safety enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inferno that destroyed a 172-unit apartment building under construction near AT&T Park last March \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/08/18/mission-bay-blaze-prompts-call-for-stricter-fire-safety-rules\" target=\"_blank\">prompted more stringent rules\u003c/a> for construction crews doing \"hot work\" like welding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fire and another one in the city's Mid-Market area last August also led the Fire Department to become more aggressive in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/16/san-francisco-steps-up-construction-fire-safety-enforcement-wins-key-case\" target=\"_blank\">penalizing contractors\u003c/a> who violate safety rules.\u003c/p>\n\n",

One person died and six others were hurt in the fire, and more than 50 tenants lost their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other fires -- one in the Tenderloin, one in the Western Addition -- also displaced dozens of tenants. Investigators say the three fires together caused more than $11.5 million in damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some residents of the Mission District building told investigators that alarms in the apartment malfunctioned and that the first they knew of the danger was when firefighters arrived to rescue them. Tenants also said that some fire escapes were blocked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He wants the Board of Supervisors to consider changes to the city's fire safety ordinances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to make sure that the tragedy that happened at Mission Street, where we had one fatality, that something like that doesn't happen again,\" Campos said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, several Campos aides met with officials at the Department of Building Inspection (DBI) and the Fire Department. Several fire safety proposals emerged from that meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One measure under consideration would require landlords to post prominent signs informing tenants how to contact public agencies with their safety concerns or complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire and Department of Building Inspection officials support the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our departments certainly support the development and implementation of steps that may prevent the kinds of multiple-alarm and devastating fires our city witnessed last week,\" DBI director Tom Hui said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry group representing the city's apartment owners said it's not opposed to the idea but wants to have input into where those signs would be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are always in favor of disclosure,\" said Janan New, director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfaa.org\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Apartment Association\u003c/a>. \"We do not believe that the lobby area may be the appropriate venue for this disclosure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New said the signs could go up in other public spaces, like laundry rooms, hallways and garages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials are also considering having the Fire Department and DBI conduct more frequent inspections of apartment buildings that are at least four stories tall or have 16 or more units, San Francisco's fire marshal says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire marshal, Assistant Deputy Fire Chief Michie Wong, said a series of other steps are under consideration, too, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Creating a fire safety checklist for landlords.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Requiring fire investigations to include whether buildings had working sprinklers, alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Posting the Fire Department's investigative reports on major fires online after the inquiries have concluded.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Wong said in an email that the proposals represent \"a step forward in getting building owners to maintain their buildings and may help lessen fires.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the third time in a year that big fires in the city have prompted tougher safety enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inferno that destroyed a 172-unit apartment building under construction near AT&T Park last March \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/08/18/mission-bay-blaze-prompts-call-for-stricter-fire-safety-rules\" target=\"_blank\">prompted more stringent rules\u003c/a> for construction crews doing \"hot work\" like welding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fire and another one in the city's Mid-Market area last August also led the Fire Department to become more aggressive in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/16/san-francisco-steps-up-construction-fire-safety-enforcement-wins-key-case\" target=\"_blank\">penalizing contractors\u003c/a> who violate safety rules.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The one that Spike Lee could have directed, showing a dispute over a San Francisco Mission District soccer field that illustrates many of the complex issues and social dynamics spurred by gentrification?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, one of the participants, an employee of the tech company Dropbox, apologized over Twitter on Saturday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\u003cp>Deeply sorry about the Mission Playground incident. I do care about my community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Jean-Denis Greze (@jgreze) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jgreze/status/521126010633199616\">October 12, 2014\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\u003cp>What I said was insensitive and embarrassing to both Dropbox and me. In case it helps, we worked it out that day so everyone got to play. — Jean-Denis Greze (@jgreze) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jgreze/status/521126149993152513\">October 12, 2014\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Dropbox also apologized over the weekend, in response to press inquiries:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We love San Francisco and are grateful to call it home. That’s why we were disappointed to learn that a couple of our employees weren’t respectful to this community. The employees involved are embarrassed and have apologized. We’re sorry, and we promise to do better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you don't know what this is all about, here's the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awPVY1Dcup\" target=\"_blank\">video\u003c/a>. It documents an incident that occurred last month when several adult males who had paid for a permit to play on the Mission Playground soccer field attempted to supplant some neighborhood kids who were already using it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awPVY1DcupE&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident seems to have captured the underlying simmering tension that can crop up in a neighborhood in which the demographics are rapidly changing. Some may see a microcosm of the gap in perspectives between the tech-worker newcomers and those who grew up in the neighborhood in one particularly raw exchange, starting at 1:24 in the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don't understand,\" an older looking youth says. \"It's not about booking the field ... This field has never been booked.\" He asks one of the men, \"How long have you been in the neighborhood, bro?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Over a year,\" the man says. That prompts a round of laughter among the kids. Meanwhile, another one of the adults says, \"Who cares about the neighborhood?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, the older youth says, \"You guys think that just because you have money, you can buy the field and take over the field.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://missionlocal.org/2014/10/turf-wars-at-mission-soccer-field/\" target=\"_blank\">Mission Local\u003c/a> has a post up explaining the informal system that has evolved over the years to determine who should play at the field and when, a custom at odds with a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbg.com/sites/default/files/paytoplay.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">sign\u003c/a> from Rec and Park posted on a gate. From Mission Local:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The video plays into the resentment that already exist in the neighborhood,” said John Robinson, 49, who eats lunch and chats with players on the field three times a week. “The newcomers know how to get the permit and sort of show up expecting to play, but the field is small and there are other things coming into play here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “other things” are the customs that longtime soccer players have developed. Those include a pickup soccer culture in which teams are formed and play each other until someone scores. Once one side scores, a new team plays the winner. This keeps turnover moving and gives everyone an opportunity to use the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This system has been in place at the Mission Playground even before 2012 when the asphalt field was upgraded with artificial turf. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Parks and Rec department ran into similar issues in 2012. Back then, Spanish-speaking players, many of whom work in the service industry, felt that pay-to-play was unfair to low-income residents.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Today, the San Francisco Latino Democratic Club announced a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/736858433055477/\" target=\"_blank\">rally to protest the pay-to-play policy\u003c/a>, planned for Thursday at 9 a.m. before a meeting of the Recreation and Parks Commission. Edwin Lindo, vice president of political affairs for the club, said he would also meet on Wednesday, along with the kids from the video, with Phil Ginsburg, general manager of Rec and Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not necessarily the fault of the folks with the permit that paid $27 to rent the the field, though they did act disrespectfully toward these youth,\" Lindo said today. \"The issue is the processes and the procedures that are allowing individuals to believe that they have a privilege over someone else just because they paid for it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lindo said one of the big problems with the two-year-old policy of being able to rent the field is that \"there was no community involvement. Many people in the community never actually knew you could rent the field.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said there have been more reports recently of youths getting kicked off the field because of private rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Lindo about the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbg.com/sites/default/files/paytoplay.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">posted sign\u003c/a> on the field that is supposed to lay out Rec & Park's (complicated) rules of who is allowed to play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I went to law school, and to read that sign, I actually don't know when I'd be able to play,\" he said. \"And there's no explanation of the permitting process at all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another issue with the sign, he said, is that it's only in English, problematic in the Mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lindo said he appreciates the apologies by both the Dropbox employee and the company. However, he said, \"We're tired of words, to be brutally honest. We've been hearing a lot of apologies for awhile, here in the Mission. I'm born and raised here. For us, it's a time of action.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 6 p.m., Monday, Oct. 13\u003c/strong>: Connie Chan, director of Public Affairs for Rec and Park, responded to our inquiry about the incident in an email. She said that the video \"is most certainly only a snapshot of what is really happening at the Mission Playfield.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the field was available for free or drop-in play 96 percent of the time, she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Only Tuesdays and Thursdays between 7-9 p.m. are available for paid adult permit play.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan said the department has \"long realized\" the limited space for recreation in the city. \"We definitely lack playfields for both adults and youth to play,\" she wrote. \"We encourage all our park users to respect one another and share our parks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The soccer field incident has gotten so much attention that it came up in the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/13/tale-of-two-davids-chiu-and-campos-battle/\" target=\"_blank\">debate\u003c/a> between David Chiu and David Campos on KQED's \"Forum\" today.

Meanwhile, another one of the adults says, \"Who cares about the neighborhood?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, the older youth says, \"You guys think that just because you have money, you can buy the field and take over the field.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://missionlocal.org/2014/10/turf-wars-at-mission-soccer-field/\" target=\"_blank\">Mission Local\u003c/a> has a post up explaining the informal system that has evolved over the years to determine who should play at the field and when, a custom at odds with a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbg.com/sites/default/files/paytoplay.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">sign\u003c/a> from Rec and Park posted on a gate. From Mission Local:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The video plays into the resentment that already exist in the neighborhood,” said John Robinson, 49, who eats lunch and chats with players on the field three times a week. “The newcomers know how to get the permit and sort of show up expecting to play, but the field is small and there are other things coming into play here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “other things” are the customs that longtime soccer players have developed. Those include a pickup soccer culture in which teams are formed and play each other until someone scores. Once one side scores, a new team plays the winner. This keeps turnover moving and gives everyone an opportunity to use the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This system has been in place at the Mission Playground even before 2012 when the asphalt field was upgraded with artificial turf. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Parks and Rec department ran into similar issues in 2012. Back then, Spanish-speaking players, many of whom work in the service industry, felt that pay-to-play was unfair to low-income residents.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Today, the San Francisco Latino Democratic Club announced a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/736858433055477/\" target=\"_blank\">rally to protest the pay-to-play policy\u003c/a>, planned for Thursday at 9 a.m. before a meeting of the Recreation and Parks Commission. Edwin Lindo, vice president of political affairs for the club, said he would also meet on Wednesday, along with the kids from the video, with Phil Ginsburg, general manager of Rec and Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not necessarily the fault of the folks with the permit that paid $27 to rent the the field, though they did act disrespectfully toward these youth,\" Lindo said today. \"The issue is the processes and the procedures that are allowing individuals to believe that they have a privilege over someone else just because they paid for it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lindo said one of the big problems with the two-year-old policy of being able to rent the field is that \"there was no community involvement. Many people in the community never actually knew you could rent the field.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said there have been more reports recently of youths getting kicked off the field because of private rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Lindo about the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbg.com/sites/default/files/paytoplay.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">posted sign\u003c/a> on the field that is supposed to lay out Rec & Park's (complicated) rules of who is allowed to play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I went to law school, and to read that sign, I actually don't know when I'd be able to play,\" he said. \"And there's no explanation of the permitting process at all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another issue with the sign, he said, is that it's only in English, problematic in the Mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lindo said he appreciates the apologies by both the Dropbox employee and the company. However, he said, \"We're tired of words, to be brutally honest. We've been hearing a lot of apologies for awhile, here in the Mission. I'm born and raised here. For us, it's a time of action.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 6 p.m., Monday, Oct. 13\u003c/strong>: Connie Chan, director of Public Affairs for Rec and Park, responded to our inquiry about the incident in an email. She said that the video \"is most certainly only a snapshot of what is really happening at the Mission Playfield.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the field was available for free or drop-in play 96 percent of the time, she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Only Tuesdays and Thursdays between 7-9 p.m. are available for paid adult permit play.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan said the department has \"long realized\" the limited space for recreation in the city. \"We definitely lack playfields for both adults and youth to play,\" she wrote. \"We encourage all our park users to respect one another and share our parks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The idea was proposed at today's Board of Supervisors meeting by a group of the same name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new district, intended to operate much like San Francisco’s Chinatown and Japantown, would stretch along 24th street from Potrero Avenue up to Mission Street and would primarily exist to maintain the area’s Latino community and educate people about its history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the cultural landscape of San Francisco rapidly changing, passionate discussions about gentrification are common.

But the gap has not widened appreciably in recent years.

Berube explained that comparing those extremes helps us gauge the severity of the distance in between.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘There was no place that experienced that degree of pulling apart as much as San Francisco did.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The picture he found was stark. In the most unequal cities — Atlanta, San Francisco, Miami and Boston, in that order — residents at the top earned at least 15 times the income of those at the bottom. In San Francisco, for instance, the top 5 percent of households earned more than $353,000 per year, whereas the bottom 20 percent of households mostly earned less than $21,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s more, when Berube compared the income gap from 2007 (just before the recession) with 2012, he found that the disparity in this city has grown more dramatically than in any other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco stood out not only in being one of the most unequal cities — and I think you might have guessed that even before you ran the data — but the data also confirmed that San Francisco has experienced the most pronounced recent increase in disparity between its rich and poor households,” Berube said. “There was no place that experienced that degree of pulling apart as much as San Francisco did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127477\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 547px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/Top-Bottom-Cities-for-Inequality.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127477\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/Top-Bottom-Cities-for-Inequality.jpg\" alt=\"Chart courtesy of the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program\" width=\"547\" height=\"557\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chart courtesy of the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Not only did typical earnings drop by $4,000 for San Franciscans in the lowest income bracket during that time, but the gains among households at the top soared by $28,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hidden in those numbers might be yet another distressing trend, Berube said. Even the bottom 20 percent in San Francisco earns more than the poorest people in most other cities, and that might, at first glance, appear encouraging. But Berube underscored that it may not mean that San Francisco’s poor are paid better — it may simply mean that the poorest of the poor are just leaving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re at an income of $15,000, there’s no longer any place to live in San Francisco,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127484\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 588px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/increases-in-inequality.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127484\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/increases-in-inequality.jpg\" alt=\"Chart courtesy of the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program\" width=\"588\" height=\"579\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chart courtesy of the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nationwide, Berube’s number-crunching showed that big cities in general are more unequal than other places. In other words, compared with the national average, the urban rich are a little bit richer, and the urban poor are a little poorer. Why? Cities increasingly house the industries with the highest-paid knowledge workers, Berube said. Yet at the same time, the public housing, social services and public transportation found in urban centers also make them a likely home for low-income people. Thus, the extremes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So which cities showed up on the more equal end of the spectrum? Most, Berube wrote, “are Southern and Western cities with expansive borders, and either include many ‘suburban’ neighborhoods alongside a traditional urban core, or are themselves overgrown suburbs like Mesa, Ariz., and Arlington, Texas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One surprise: Seattle. Berube expected to see it neck-and-neck with San Francisco for income disparity. But it ranked only 31st of 50 cities. It turns out that “Seattle is a much less unequal place than San Francisco is,” according to Berube. That may change as more Silicon Valley firms move to the northwest city, he added, but “one thing Seattle has managed to do better than San Francisco in recent years is build housing,” and that relieves pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be fair to San Francisco, he said, Seattle has 84 square miles to work with, compared to San Francisco’s 47, and it’s much harder to build new housing when your city is bounded on three sides by water.\u003c/p>\n\n",

San Jose, in the heart of Silicon Valley, ranks far down \u003ca href=\"http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/research/files/papers/2014/02/city%20inequality/appendix.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the complete list\u003c/a>, No. 36; the rich/poor gap also grew far slower there than in San Francisco.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the report’s author, Alan Berube, senior fellow and deputy director in Brookings’ Metropolitan Policy Program, decided to run the numbers on income inequality nationwide, he was inspired in part by coverage of the tech bus protests in the Mission District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berube tapped U.S. Census data for his analysis, and he chose a particular measure to compare the haves and have-nots: the “95/20 ratio.” It’s a comparison between the income that puts a household in the 95th percentile, or the top 5 percent, and the income that puts one in the bottom 20 percent. Berube explained that comparing those extremes helps us gauge the severity of the distance in between.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘There was no place that experienced that degree of pulling apart as much as San Francisco did.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The picture he found was stark. In the most unequal cities — Atlanta, San Francisco, Miami and Boston, in that order — residents at the top earned at least 15 times the income of those at the bottom. In San Francisco, for instance, the top 5 percent of households earned more than $353,000 per year, whereas the bottom 20 percent of households mostly earned less than $21,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Even the bottom 20 percent in San Francisco earns more than the poorest people in most other cities, and that might, at first glance, appear encouraging. But Berube underscored that it may not mean that San Francisco’s poor are paid better — it may simply mean that the poorest of the poor are just leaving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re at an income of $15,000, there’s no longer any place to live in San Francisco,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127484\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 588px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/increases-in-inequality.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127484\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/increases-in-inequality.jpg\" alt=\"Chart courtesy of the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program\" width=\"588\" height=\"579\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chart courtesy of the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nationwide, Berube’s number-crunching showed that big cities in general are more unequal than other places. In other words, compared with the national average, the urban rich are a little bit richer, and the urban poor are a little poorer. Why? Cities increasingly house the industries with the highest-paid knowledge workers, Berube said. Yet at the same time, the public housing, social services and public transportation found in urban centers also make them a likely home for low-income people. Thus, the extremes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So which cities showed up on the more equal end of the spectrum? Most, Berube wrote, “are Southern and Western cities with expansive borders, and either include many ‘suburban’ neighborhoods alongside a traditional urban core, or are themselves overgrown suburbs like Mesa, Ariz., and Arlington, Texas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One surprise: Seattle. Berube expected to see it neck-and-neck with San Francisco for income disparity. But it ranked only 31st of 50 cities. It turns out that “Seattle is a much less unequal place than San Francisco is,” according to Berube. That may change as more Silicon Valley firms move to the northwest city, he added, but “one thing Seattle has managed to do better than San Francisco in recent years is build housing,” and that relieves pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be fair to San Francisco, he said, Seattle has 84 square miles to work with, compared to San Francisco’s 47, and it’s much harder to build new housing when your city is bounded on three sides by water.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
