They say that restricting the recovery of costs for building improvements will remove the financial incentive for landlords to maintain tens of thousands of apartments throughout the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Tuesday night’s meeting, Adams Point resident Clifton Harrison thanked the council for the new regulations.

I live in a beautiful place in a beautiful neighborhood, and I might lose that.” He added that due to rising rents and displacement of longtime residents, he can “see the neighborhood is changing before my eyes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new ordinance is not retroactive, so it won't help Harrison fight his rent increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I’m happy about is that no other resident of Oakland will have to go through what I’m going through and my family is going through right now,\" Harrison said. \"That’s a good thing.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

That's despite the big dogs and the fact she already has a Bay Alarm home security system. She says they used to make her feel safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt that way before, until all this started happening,\" Flynn says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By \"all this,\" she means stories circulated on neighborhood listservs, like the one about a woman on her street who was tied up in her home and robbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s convinced that a nearby neighborhood's new private security patrols are driving criminals into her area. Flynn says considering private security for her own community is not just about personal safety. She says she's also concerned about property values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really expensive to live here,\" she says, \"and you don't want to your investment to get messed with by people who want to just steal loose change from your car. It just seems ridiculous. But you know it could start there and then it can escalate into people tying you up in your house.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerns like those expressed by Flynn — about safety, home values and the impact of a growing number of private security firms monitoring Oakland's more affluent neighborhoods — could play a prominent role as Oakland city official ask voters to renew Measure Y, a property assessment that funds more than 60 police officers and a wide array of community crime-prevention programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ariel Bierbaum lives in the Lower Rockridge area, one of the neighborhoods that has contracted for security patrols. She says she supports Measure Y and fears that residents who have started paying for their own security won't support it any longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'I worry that people are going to not be interested in funding Measure Y because they feel like they’re already paying out of pocket for something that they feel like is providing a better service.'\u003ccite>Ariel Bierbaum,\u003cbr>\nLower Rockridge resident\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"I worry that people are going to not be interested in funding Measure Y because they feel like they’re already paying out of pocket for something that they feel like is providing a better service,\" Bierbaum says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>North Oakland police Capt. Anthony Toribio says no one should mistake private security as a replacement for city police. He says they have distinctly different roles. \"It's important to remember that the job of security is to observe and report,\" Toribio says. \"The job of police is to investigate and arrest. And those are two different things.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randy Price, a retired Piedmont police officer, is president of Premiere Protective Services, one of the many private firms monitoring Oakland streets. While I accompanied him on a tour of the Rockridge neighborhood, we encountered a situation he said highlights the difference between how his staffers and police officers might respond to an incident on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a busy thoroughfare, a man passed by shouting profanities. He was so erratic that people crossed the street to avoid him. I asked Price: What would your security patrol officer do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's a perfect question,\" Price said, adding that the officer would probably just keep an eye on the man. \"Kind of follow him in the car,\" Price said. \"He's not gonna get out on foot, we don't do that. But if he does something aggressive, he's going to call OPD.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the working relationship between the private security operatives and the police is becoming more formal. Security firms are now meeting with Oakland police on a regular basis to share crime statistics and compare notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franklin Zimring, a UC Berkeley Law School professor and expert on criminal justice trends, says he believes Oaklanders who pay for private security may also support extending Measure Y.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You cannot assume that it's a zero sum game between private security and public security,\" Zimring says. \"It may be that the people who care about community safety are willing to invest in both directions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/News/ci_25529808/Survey:-Oakland-voters-wont-pay-more\" target=\"_blank\">recent city-commissioned poll\u003c/a> suggests a large majority of Oakland voters are willing to extend Measure Y — up to a point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll found that 82 percent of those surveyed would vote for continuing the existing $98 a year parcel tax that pays for Measure Y programs. But faced with a continuing siege of violent crime — mostly far away from affluent neighborhoods like Rockridge — and an epidemic of property crime that has beset the entire city — some have called for doubling the tax to $196 a year. The poll finds that just 53 percent of voters support that idea, far short of the two-thirds support the tax measure will need to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council is expected to decide on the specifics of the tax measure this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the story below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/147120110&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Flynn says considering private security for her own community is not just about personal safety. She says she's also concerned about property values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really expensive to live here,\" she says, \"and you don't want to your investment to get messed with by people who want to just steal loose change from your car. It just seems ridiculous. But you know it could start there and then it can escalate into people tying you up in your house.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerns like those expressed by Flynn — about safety, home values and the impact of a growing number of private security firms monitoring Oakland's more affluent neighborhoods — could play a prominent role as Oakland city official ask voters to renew Measure Y, a property assessment that funds more than 60 police officers and a wide array of community crime-prevention programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ariel Bierbaum lives in the Lower Rockridge area, one of the neighborhoods that has contracted for security patrols. She says she supports Measure Y and fears that residents who have started paying for their own security won't support it any longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'I worry that people are going to not be interested in funding Measure Y because they feel like they’re already paying out of pocket for something that they feel like is providing a better service.'\u003ccite>Ariel Bierbaum,\u003cbr>\nLower Rockridge resident\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"I worry that people are going to not be interested in funding Measure Y because they feel like they’re already paying out of pocket for something that they feel like is providing a better service,\" Bierbaum says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>North Oakland police Capt. Anthony Toribio says no one should mistake private security as a replacement for city police. He says they have distinctly different roles. \"It's important to remember that the job of security is to observe and report,\" Toribio says. \"The job of police is to investigate and arrest. And those are two different things.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randy Price, a retired Piedmont police officer, is president of Premiere Protective Services, one of the many private firms monitoring Oakland streets. While I accompanied him on a tour of the Rockridge neighborhood, we encountered a situation he said highlights the difference between how his staffers and police officers might respond to an incident on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a busy thoroughfare, a man passed by shouting profanities. He was so erratic that people crossed the street to avoid him. I asked Price: What would your security patrol officer do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's a perfect question,\" Price said, adding that the officer would probably just keep an eye on the man. \"Kind of follow him in the car,\" Price said. \"He's not gonna get out on foot, we don't do that. But if he does something aggressive, he's going to call OPD.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the working relationship between the private security operatives and the police is becoming more formal. Security firms are now meeting with Oakland police on a regular basis to share crime statistics and compare notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franklin Zimring, a UC Berkeley Law School professor and expert on criminal justice trends, says he believes Oaklanders who pay for private security may also support extending Measure Y.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You cannot assume that it's a zero sum game between private security and public security,\" Zimring says. \"It may be that the people who care about community safety are willing to invest in both directions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/News/ci_25529808/Survey:-Oakland-voters-wont-pay-more\" target=\"_blank\">recent city-commissioned poll\u003c/a> suggests a large majority of Oakland voters are willing to extend Measure Y — up to a point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll found that 82 percent of those surveyed would vote for continuing the existing $98 a year parcel tax that pays for Measure Y programs. But faced with a continuing siege of violent crime — mostly far away from affluent neighborhoods like Rockridge — and an epidemic of property crime that has beset the entire city — some have called for doubling the tax to $196 a year. The poll finds that just 53 percent of voters support that idea, far short of the two-thirds support the tax measure will need to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council is expected to decide on the specifics of the tax measure this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the story below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/147120110&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The transit agency provides about 400,000 rides on a typical weekday. Within the next five years, daily ridership could swell to 500,000 -- \u003ca href=\"https://www.bart.gov/about/projects/cars/why-new-cars\">more than triple the average in the 1970s\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soaring ridership has led to overcrowding in train cars; vacant seats have become scarce, and many riders are required to stand for the length of their commute. It has also produced crowded station platforms, where long passenger queues await every rush-hour train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To deal with surging crowds, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/BART-considers-rebuilding-2-SF-stations-4267383.php\">BART floated a plan\u003c/a> last year to rebuild the platforms of its two busiest stations -- Embarcadero and Montgomery. The plan would cost $900 million and it would take five years to complete. But it still needs to secure funding for those projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Relief could come sooner in train cars. In 2017, BART will begin phasing in a new fleet of train cars into service (a model of the new train cars \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/16/bart-unveils-new-cars/\">was unveiled on Wednesday\u003c/a>). Although the cars are slightly smaller than those currently in use, BART promises to increase capacity by putting more cars in service and running longer trains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

About 400 people packed Temple Sinai to watch incumbent Mayor Jean Quan and eight challengers discuss an issue much on the mind of many residents: public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quan is running for re-election despite an administration marked by high crime rates, multiple staff defections and what is considered to be a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/06/14/independ-report-finds-oakland-response-to-occupy-flawed/\" target=\"_blank\">botched response to the 2011 Occupy Oakland protests\u003c/a>.

Ruby has been the auditor since 2007 and won a second four-year term in 2010.

Bryan Parker, a businessman and port commissioner, suggested police need to have less oversight and more discretion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have too many people watching our officers,\" Parker said. \"We have internal affairs, we have cameras, we have watchers watching the watchers.\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/1st-Oakland-mayoral-debate-a-crowded-affair-5375583.php\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from KQED news associate \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/2014/04/oakland-mayoral-challengers-vow-to-reduce-crime-while-criticizing-quan-analysis/\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Local\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Tuman estimated the number of cops needed to keep Oakland safe (is) 900, while Dan Siegel … offered a more modest estimate of 650-700 officers. “It’s not a question of how many, but how smartly we use them,” he said. Siegel’s plan would assign nine officers and two detective to 60 beats across the city. He says the arrangement will help foster better understanding and knowledge of each specific neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others were deeply critical of Quan’s leadership over the last three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Auditor Courtney Ruby said Oakland has a “leadership deficit” and added, “As auditor, I look at the hard numbers, not excuses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jason “Shake” Anderson, a Green Party candidate and member of the Occupy Oakland movement, called Quan’s administration “dysfunctional” following the the departure of yet another top city official this week. “Right now, we’re failing at government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, three of the first four candidates to open the nearly three-hour forum took direct shots at Quan, who often appeared to be staring blankly with arms crossed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland activist Nancy Sidebotham said Oakland’s political machine has run the mayor’s office for the past three decades. “I’m running for mayor because I’m angry. I want change,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quan reacted to the comments by saying she takes every homicide personally. “Crime is trending down. It might not be enough, but it’s a beginning.” Quan later deflected suggestions her administration should hold off hiring a permanent police chief until after the election. She says reforms required in the police department’s negotiated settlement agreement will be fulfilled much sooner with a new chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Libby Schaaf said compliance with the consent decree will only improve the OPD and potentially help reduce crime. Other cities like Los Angeles, said Schaaf, were able to greatly lower crime in the midst of federal oversight. Crime, she noted, is not an “urban tax for living in Oakland.” \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/2014/04/oakland-mayoral-challengers-vow-to-reduce-crime-while-criticizing-quan-analysis/\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Reaction from the audience was typically mixed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For me, it’s all about increasing officers, and increasing transparency in the city, so that way we can see what's going on in the city,\" said Steve Berly. \"It’s less of an opaque box.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earl Hamlin confirmed policing is the biggest issue for most Oaklanders. \"It starts with a new police chief, and everyone wants a good one and a great one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think a lot of the candidates had wonderful ideas,\" said Vanessa Winegan. \"(Like) the police chief being able to do his job without being micro-managed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Said Doug Broom: \"I was kind of surprised to find that so many of our police team does not live here in the city.

Bryan Parker, a businessman and port commissioner, suggested police need to have less oversight and more discretion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have too many people watching our officers,\" Parker said. \"We have internal affairs, we have cameras, we have watchers watching the watchers.\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/1st-Oakland-mayoral-debate-a-crowded-affair-5375583.php\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from KQED news associate \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/2014/04/oakland-mayoral-challengers-vow-to-reduce-crime-while-criticizing-quan-analysis/\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Local\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Tuman estimated the number of cops needed to keep Oakland safe (is) 900, while Dan Siegel … offered a more modest estimate of 650-700 officers. “It’s not a question of how many, but how smartly we use them,” he said. Siegel’s plan would assign nine officers and two detective to 60 beats across the city. He says the arrangement will help foster better understanding and knowledge of each specific neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others were deeply critical of Quan’s leadership over the last three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Auditor Courtney Ruby said Oakland has a “leadership deficit” and added, “As auditor, I look at the hard numbers, not excuses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jason “Shake” Anderson, a Green Party candidate and member of the Occupy Oakland movement, called Quan’s administration “dysfunctional” following the the departure of yet another top city official this week. “Right now, we’re failing at government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, three of the first four candidates to open the nearly three-hour forum took direct shots at Quan, who often appeared to be staring blankly with arms crossed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland activist Nancy Sidebotham said Oakland’s political machine has run the mayor’s office for the past three decades. “I’m running for mayor because I’m angry. I want change,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quan reacted to the comments by saying she takes every homicide personally. “Crime is trending down. It might not be enough, but it’s a beginning.” Quan later deflected suggestions her administration should hold off hiring a permanent police chief until after the election. She says reforms required in the police department’s negotiated settlement agreement will be fulfilled much sooner with a new chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Libby Schaaf said compliance with the consent decree will only improve the OPD and potentially help reduce crime. Other cities like Los Angeles, said Schaaf, were able to greatly lower crime in the midst of federal oversight. Crime, she noted, is not an “urban tax for living in Oakland.” \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/2014/04/oakland-mayoral-challengers-vow-to-reduce-crime-while-criticizing-quan-analysis/\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Reaction from the audience was typically mixed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For me, it’s all about increasing officers, and increasing transparency in the city, so that way we can see what's going on in the city,\" said Steve Berly. \"It’s less of an opaque box.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earl Hamlin confirmed policing is the biggest issue for most Oaklanders. \"It starts with a new police chief, and everyone wants a good one and a great one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think a lot of the candidates had wonderful ideas,\" said Vanessa Winegan. \"(Like) the police chief being able to do his job without being micro-managed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Said Doug Broom: \"I was kind of surprised to find that so many of our police team does not live here in the city. It would be nice if they did, and they would be more in touch with the residents and not be kind of detached.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emma Laz-Hirsch said she wasn't \"completely impressed. I didn’t hear many compelling arguments, many clear plans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least three more mayoral debates are scheduled in the next six weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But American Steel Studios in West Oakland has become a destination for all types of artists: sculptors, woodworkers and especially metal workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the massive American Steel Studios warehouse is a large exhibit made by local artist Nick Dong. He calls it the Enlightenment Room. It’s a rectangular structure the size of a big walk-in closet. In the dark interior, tiny white tiles are barely visible, covering the walls. At one end is a single seat. When a visitor sits down, an ominous sound of chanting begins. A bright light shines down from above and the chanting gets louder and louder, until finally the viewer gets up and the installation stops. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It started with a little joke,” Dong says. “My father is a really practiced Buddhist, and when we were little he always told us to meditate and envision the light coming from the gods.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Dong had an idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What if I can just allow that transformation to happen with a physical room?” he asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While viewers might not become fully enlightened after sitting in Dong’s Enlightenment Room, it’s definitely a unique experience.

But American Steel Studios in West Oakland has become a destination for all types of artists: sculptors, woodworkers and especially metal workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the massive American Steel Studios warehouse is a large exhibit made by local artist Nick Dong. He calls it the Enlightenment Room. It’s a rectangular structure the size of a big walk-in closet. In the dark interior, tiny white tiles are barely visible, covering the walls. At one end is a single seat. When a visitor sits down, an ominous sound of chanting begins. A bright light shines down from above and the chanting gets louder and louder, until finally the viewer gets up and the installation stops. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It started with a little joke,” Dong says. “My father is a really practiced Buddhist, and when we were little he always told us to meditate and envision the light coming from the gods.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Dong had an idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
