By 5:30 a.m., I’m riding shotgun in a collection truck with Amanuel Yemane, a seasoned truck operator and my guide for the morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yemane quickly gives me a terminology lesson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Compost” is the final product in the process of composting. It’s the nutrient-rich soil you buy when you finally plant that urban garden on your fire escape you’ve been dreaming of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Green waste,” Yemane says, is the stuff in your compost bin (like food scraps, leaves and coffee grounds). Green waste may one day become compost, but only if it undergoes an important decomposition process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10889757\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10889757 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/compost-01.jpg\" alt=\"Green waste includes branches, paper, food scraps and every other product that has been alive in your lifetime.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"940\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/compost-01.jpg 1600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/compost-01-400x235.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/compost-01-800x470.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/compost-01-1180x693.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/compost-01-960x564.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green waste includes branches, paper, food scraps and every other product that has been alive in your lifetime. \u003ccite>(Lucas Waldron/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The biggest problem with collecting green waste, Yemane explains, is that a lot of people don’t know what is compostable. People often put their green waste inside plastic bags, which cannot be broken down into compost. In fact, later in the process, plastic bags become a huge nuisance for composters -- but we’ll get to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another challenge in the collection process: Some green waste is truly gnarly. Occasionally, Yemane will try to empty a green bin on his route, but the food scraps inside will be so congealed and tightly packed that they won’t shake out.

When the transfer trucks arrive, they dump all the green waste onto an asphalt pad that's larger than a football field.

By 5:30 a.m., I’m riding shotgun in a collection truck with Amanuel Yemane, a seasoned truck operator and my guide for the morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yemane quickly gives me a terminology lesson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Compost” is the final product in the process of composting. It’s the nutrient-rich soil you buy when you finally plant that urban garden on your fire escape you’ve been dreaming of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Green waste,” Yemane says, is the stuff in your compost bin (like food scraps, leaves and coffee grounds). Green waste may one day become compost, but only if it undergoes an important decomposition process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10889757\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10889757 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/compost-01.jpg\" alt=\"Green waste includes branches, paper, food scraps and every other product that has been alive in your lifetime.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"940\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/compost-01.jpg 1600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/compost-01-400x235.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/compost-01-800x470.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/compost-01-1180x693.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/compost-01-960x564.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green waste includes branches, paper, food scraps and every other product that has been alive in your lifetime. \u003ccite>(Lucas Waldron/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The biggest problem with collecting green waste, Yemane explains, is that a lot of people don’t know what is compostable. People often put their green waste inside plastic bags, which cannot be broken down into compost. In fact, later in the process, plastic bags become a huge nuisance for composters -- but we’ll get to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another challenge in the collection process: Some green waste is truly gnarly. Occasionally, Yemane will try to empty a green bin on his route, but the food scraps inside will be so congealed and tightly packed that they won’t shake out. Those bins, which often smell particularly foul, are left on the curb for their owner to face.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Quick tip\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you put a lot of mushy food scraps in your green bin, try mixing scrap paper in with your green waste.

State and federal tax incentives often support low-income housing developments, while private developers are able to make up costs of building more expensive housing by charging prices that more and more people are willing to pay to live in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Developers built no housing specifically for people making a “moderate” income between \u003ca href=\"http://abag.ca.gov/files/RHNAProgress2007_2014_082815.pdf\">2007 and 2014\u003c/a>, according to city data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a surprise. I didn’t think it was zero,” says Michele Byrd, Oakland’s housing director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A state Assembly bill introduced last year would have tried to extend certain housing subsidies statewide for middle-income residences. It failed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Assemblyman Tony Thurmond, a Democrat from Richmond, is working \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2015/11/oakland-middle-income-bill-housing-bill-thurmond.html\">on legislation\u003c/a> that also targets more moderate income earners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland is currently considering new housing policies, including a discussion about impact fees that would either require developers to build a certain percentage of affordable housing as part of their projects or charge developers a fee that would help pay for more affordable housing elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antioch has a different story. Between 2007 and 2014, the city surpassed its housing goals, set by the Association of Bay Area Governments. The bedroom community in eastern Contra Costa County has space to build and land is cheaper than in Oakland, says Forrest Ebbs, Antioch’s community development director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can actually build moderately priced housing here and make a good profit on it,” Ebbs says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10883035\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10883035\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-800x450.png\" alt=\"Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder (2)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-800x450.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-400x225.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-1180x664.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2-960x540.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Average_Sale_Price_of_a_Single_Family_Home_Antioch_Oakland_chartbuilder-2.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">O\u003c/span>ver the last decade, Vanessa Ladson moved from Oakland to Hercules, then to Pittsburg and finally to Antioch in 2010 — jumping on a five-bedroom house that sold for $300,000.

The force is made up of about 84 school security officers, like those involved in this incident, and about 15 sworn police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godown said he pulled the file in the Rodriguez case a few weeks ago, when Cruz requested it. He immediately knew something wasn’t right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s troubling for me,” said Godown. “I didn’t see a reason [for the use of force.] I didn’t see a reason for him to be pushed in the back. I didn’t see a reason for him to be immediately turned around and choked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godown said multiple officers signed off on the use of force in this incident. Everyone from officers to school administrators will be investigated to see who knew about the video and when, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District spokesman Flint notes the school district police force is also reviewing five years' worth of complaints against school security officers to see if there are systemic flaws in the way officers treat students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Cruz represents two other Oakland students who have accused school security officers of abuse in Oakland. One videotaped incident last May involved Francisco Martinez, 17, a wheelchair-bound student. The officer in that case, Marchell Ernest Mitchell, was charged with felony corporal injury in a case reportedly set for trial next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about one stray officer. It’s a policy that goes all the way to the administration,” said Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Neither he nor Johnson could be reached for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school district has its own police force, overseen by Chief Jeff Godown, a veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, the SFPD and the UCSF police force, who started in Oakland a little more than three months ago. The force is made up of about 84 school security officers, like those involved in this incident, and about 15 sworn police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godown said he pulled the file in the Rodriguez case a few weeks ago, when Cruz requested it. He immediately knew something wasn’t right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s troubling for me,” said Godown. “I didn’t see a reason [for the use of force.] I didn’t see a reason for him to be pushed in the back. I didn’t see a reason for him to be immediately turned around and choked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godown said multiple officers signed off on the use of force in this incident. Everyone from officers to school administrators will be investigated to see who knew about the video and when, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District spokesman Flint notes the school district police force is also reviewing five years' worth of complaints against school security officers to see if there are systemic flaws in the way officers treat students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Cruz represents two other Oakland students who have accused school security officers of abuse in Oakland. One videotaped incident last May involved Francisco Martinez, 17, a wheelchair-bound student. The officer in that case, Marchell Ernest Mitchell, was charged with felony corporal injury in a case reportedly set for trial next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about one stray officer. It’s a policy that goes all the way to the administration,” said Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Aaron Ledford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A victim had been shot, the suspect had fled the area, ran out of the train, out of the station, and into the city of Oakland,\" Ledford said in an interview Sunday. \"Officers got to the scene along with medical aid, medical was rendered, CPR and first aid was rendered to the victim, but medical ended up pronouncing him deceased.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect was described as an African-American man, 6 feet 3 inches tall, slim build, with a bald head, wearing a green hoodie-type jacket and carrying a backpack.

The act, passed in the 1980s, allows evictions when landlords decide to take properties off the rental market. Ellis Act evictions have become notorious in San Francisco, where hundreds of tenants have been forced to relocate in recent years, largely due to conversion of rental properties to condominiums. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, the pace of Ellis Act evictions has been slower, with a total of 47 Ellis filings covering 98 units between fiscal 2003-04 and 2014-15. But there are signs that's changing, with a dozen Ellis filings covering 15 units since July 1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the time to bring this to you,\" Connie Taylor, manager of Oakland's Rent Adjustment Program manager, told the council's Community and Economic Development Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor offered a two-part proposal to respond to the rise in Ellis Act evictions: an expansion of relocation payments, currently available only to low-income renters, to all displace tenants; and an increase in payments, currently set at two months of a tenant's rent, to $8,000 plus $2,500 per unit for \"vulnerable residents,\" including low income, disabled and senior tenants and those with minor children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But several landlords who addressed the panel said that the low number of Ellis Act evictions in Oakland doesn’t warrant such dramatic changes to the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t think that four cases per year out of 90,000 rental units necessarily is a good enough basis for rushing this through,” said Wayne Rowland, president of East Bay Rental Housing Association. \"If we could just have a little bit more time to review this and provide thoughtful comment, we would really appreciate it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Councilman Larry Reid joined other committee members who said they want more clarity and possible adjustments made to the proposed payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just think that we're being forced in making a rushed decision,\" Reid said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City staff will report back to the committee on Jan. 12.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The act, passed in the 1980s, allows evictions when landlords decide to take properties off the rental market. Ellis Act evictions have become notorious in San Francisco, where hundreds of tenants have been forced to relocate in recent years, largely due to conversion of rental properties to condominiums. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, the pace of Ellis Act evictions has been slower, with a total of 47 Ellis filings covering 98 units between fiscal 2003-04 and 2014-15. But there are signs that's changing, with a dozen Ellis filings covering 15 units since July 1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the time to bring this to you,\" Connie Taylor, manager of Oakland's Rent Adjustment Program manager, told the council's Community and Economic Development Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor offered a two-part proposal to respond to the rise in Ellis Act evictions: an expansion of relocation payments, currently available only to low-income renters, to all displace tenants; and an increase in payments, currently set at two months of a tenant's rent, to $8,000 plus $2,500 per unit for \"vulnerable residents,\" including low income, disabled and senior tenants and those with minor children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

HUD officials say they recognize that their agency is limited by using older data and that they look forward to what the rent survey will find.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the department realizes that this is something we need to be looking at,” says Ophelia Basgal, regional director for HUD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HUD officials tell KQED the challenge by Alameda and Contra Costa county housing authorities will likely influence any fair market rent increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thousands Still on \u003c/strong>\u003cb>Wait Lists\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the question remains whether any changes will be enough to keep or attract landlords to Section 8 and other voucher programs. Voucher holders are taking more than three months to find a place on average, according to a letter sent by East Bay housing authorities to HUD in September. That’s longer than the 90-day period most vouchers are good for. Many voucher holders ask for extensions, while thousands of people in the region are on waiting lists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have more vouchers to put on the street. We’re just waiting to put them on the street for the current people looking to be successful,” says Eric Johnson, executive director of the Oakland Housing Authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you hand out all the vouchers available, it would flood the market and make it harder for people to find a place, he says. At any given time, around 200 people with Section 8 vouchers from OHA are looking for an apartment. OHA has to give out about 600 more vouchers, says Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voucher holders in Oakland are finding some success, though. In September around 110 families did find housing, Johnson says. But the same month, 120 landlords quit participating in the program, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Landlords Dropping Out of Section 8 Across the East Bay\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Berkeley, voucher holders are given a free report that lists available Section 8 housing. In 2012, that list averaged seven to 10 units at any given time. For the past 18 months, the city averages zero to one unit, according to Tia Ingram, executive director of Berkeley Housing Authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has been extremely difficult to have 10 excited families in the room awaiting receipt of their voucher and have to advise, ‘Sorry there are no suitable units in the report’; best of luck in your search,” she wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Housing Authority of the County of Alameda (HACA), which does not represent Berkeley, Oakland, Livermore or the city of Alameda, has seen a 10 percent drop since 2012 in the number of landlords participating in the voucher program, according to Ron Dion, deputy director for programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps more telling, Dion says, is the number of landlords participating in the voluntary online database where landlords and property management groups can list available units. In 2012, HACA averaged 58 available rental units on the first of each month, he says. Each year that number has dropped, and the average so far for 2015 is only seven per month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Even With an Advocate It's Tough to Find a Home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a Wednesday in mid-October, Rachel Cole-Jansen, with Operation Dignity’s homeless outreach program, meets with Marvin Jordan. She helped him get his voucher earlier this year and has, at times, been his advocate -- even searching Craigslist and making calls to landlords on his behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's frustrated because the free website that lists available Section 8 housing doesn't update regularly. And too often she'll call and someone on the other end will say there's nothing available, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she does connect with a property manager it’s for an apartment in a neighborhood where Jordan doesn’t feel safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of folks with Section 8 vouchers are being concentrated in a lot of these neighborhoods,” says Cole-Jansen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jordan says he’s getting desperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's looking in areas where he initially refused to look. Still, nothing. He often calls Ryan Norris, with Marquardt Property Management, because Norris told Jordan once that you have to just keep calling, every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10760420\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/IMG_0795.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10760420 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/IMG_0795-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"“To be honest I think Marvin is a rare case.

OHA has to give out about 600 more vouchers, says Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voucher holders in Oakland are finding some success, though. In September around 110 families did find housing, Johnson says. But the same month, 120 landlords quit participating in the program, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Landlords Dropping Out of Section 8 Across the East Bay\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Berkeley, voucher holders are given a free report that lists available Section 8 housing. In 2012, that list averaged seven to 10 units at any given time. For the past 18 months, the city averages zero to one unit, according to Tia Ingram, executive director of Berkeley Housing Authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has been extremely difficult to have 10 excited families in the room awaiting receipt of their voucher and have to advise, ‘Sorry there are no suitable units in the report’; best of luck in your search,” she wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Housing Authority of the County of Alameda (HACA), which does not represent Berkeley, Oakland, Livermore or the city of Alameda, has seen a 10 percent drop since 2012 in the number of landlords participating in the voucher program, according to Ron Dion, deputy director for programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps more telling, Dion says, is the number of landlords participating in the voluntary online database where landlords and property management groups can list available units. In 2012, HACA averaged 58 available rental units on the first of each month, he says. Each year that number has dropped, and the average so far for 2015 is only seven per month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Even With an Advocate It's Tough to Find a Home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a Wednesday in mid-October, Rachel Cole-Jansen, with Operation Dignity’s homeless outreach program, meets with Marvin Jordan. She helped him get his voucher earlier this year and has, at times, been his advocate -- even searching Craigslist and making calls to landlords on his behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's frustrated because the free website that lists available Section 8 housing doesn't update regularly. And too often she'll call and someone on the other end will say there's nothing available, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she does connect with a property manager it’s for an apartment in a neighborhood where Jordan doesn’t feel safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of folks with Section 8 vouchers are being concentrated in a lot of these neighborhoods,” says Cole-Jansen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jordan says he’s getting desperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's looking in areas where he initially refused to look. Still, nothing. He often calls Ryan Norris, with Marquardt Property Management, because Norris told Jordan once that you have to just keep calling, every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10760420\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/IMG_0795.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10760420 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/IMG_0795-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"“To be honest I think Marvin is a rare case.
